As art museum educators become more involved in curatorial decisions and creating opportunities for community voices to be represented in the galleries of the museum, museum education is shifting from responding to works of art to developing authentic opportunities for engagement with their communities. Current research focuses on museum education experiences and the wide-reaching benefits of including these experiences into art education courses. As more universities add art museum education to their curricula, there is a need for a text to support the topic and offer examples of real-world museum education experiences.

Engaging Communities Through Civic Engagement in Art Museum Education deepens knowledge on museum and art education and civic engagement and bridges the gap from theory to practice. The chapters focus on various sectors of this research, including diversity and inclusion in museum experiences, engaging communities through new techniques, and museum and university partnerships. As such, it includes coverage on timely topics that include programs and audience engagement with the LGBTQ+, refugee, disability, and senior communities; socially responsive museum pedagogy; and the use of student workers. This book is ideal for museum educators, museum directors, curators, professionals, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students who are interested in updated knowledge and research in art education, curriculum development, and civic engagement.

Chinese calligraphy is a primary discipline in the traditional Chinese classics and a unique area in humanities studies worldwide.

Based on his research in ancient Chinese characters, the author first presents a comprehensive description of the origins and development of Chinese characters and their influence on calligraphy. He then goes on to explore the distinction between calligraphy as an art and as an academic discipline. More importantly, he innovatively compares Western aesthetic theories and Chinese calligraphy’s aesthetic principles. This comparative approach not only gives new insights into Chinese calligraphy, but also establishes common principles for the humanities and fine arts, bringing this long-lived art form to a global audience.

Between 1932 and 1939, Liang Sicheng and his wife, Lin Huiyin, together with a few members of the Institute for Research in Chinese Architecture, traveled to Northern and Southwestern China on over a dozen archaeological expeditions to conduct pioneer surveys on ancient Chinese architecture and sculptures. The most prominent of these discoveries are featured in Chinese Sculpture as a collection of short essays and vignette sketches, covering the monumental cliff shrines and the most ancient Buddhist temples in Yungang and Longmen as well as the border regions of Sichuan and Yunnan. This book presents a panoramic view of ancient Chinese sculptures, from the earliest times to late Ming (1368-1644), as seen through the eyes of Liang, who was bent on preserving China s cultural past in the tumultuous and war-torn years of the 1930s and 1940s.

GA18-18 Liang Sicheng and the Temple of Buddha's Light.(文景書局)

  梁思成與佛光寺
ISBN: 9789814441032　Year: 2015 　Price: US$ 150.00
Author: Vimalin Rujivacharakul
A b s t r a c t


In July 1937, Liang Sicheng (1901–1972) led a small team of architectural historians to Mount Wutai in Shanxi. There, in the land known as the dwelling of of Manjusri, they encountered the ninth-century Buddha hall dating from the Tang period. In Chinese architectural history, this finding was a watershed moment. At the time of its discovery, this extant architecture was the sole Tang timber structure ever found on the mainland. The legendary ninth-century Tang Buddha hall is part of the Temple of Buddha’s Light (Foguangsi, or the Foguang temple). First built in the Northern Wei dynasty, the original temple was destroyed and a new one was subsequently constructed in the same location in the late Tang period. Liang and his team measured the temple’s architecture and examined both the Buddha hall and other buildings.

Although he could not publicly announce the discovery or publish his study until the 1940s, the news spread fast once the first article appeared. Since then, this remote temple in Shanxi has become one of China’s most renowned architectural legacies. In 2009, UNESCO listed it as part of Mount Wutai World Heritage Site.
This book presents the history and historiography of the discovery of the Temple of Buddha’s Light. It also delivers, for the first time, both Liang’s complete account of the trip translated into English and his detailed analyses of the temple’s architecture and decorative art. Also included are Liang’s original photographs and drawings of the temple complex.

As both the technical history of Tang architecture and history of modern discovery are brought together, Liang Sicheng and the Temple of Buddha’s Light will bring readers back in time to explore pre-war China and Mount Wutai, before returning to the present to address the controversies brought up by three generations of scholars. This famous architecture has indeed many unresolved puzzles.

Music education is a well-established and flourishing area of research and study. It is also a complex and contested area in which there is a considerable variety of published work, ranging from the justificatory to the critical, and from advice on pedagogical practice to provocative alternative paradigms. The proliferation and range of these publications stems from the complexity of music and music education itself. Along with multiple perspectives on the nature and value of music, music education is much more socially interwoven than most school subjects. It is also very complex organizationally, with multiple sources of funding.

This new four-volume collection from Routledge’s acclaimed Major Themes in Education series meets the need for an authoritative, up-to-date, and comprehensive reference work to make sense of the area’s voluminous literature. Indeed, the dizzying scale of the research output—and the breadth of the field—makes this new Routledge title especially welcome. It provides a one-stop collection of classic and contemporary contributions to facilitate ready access to the most influential and important scholarship.

Fully indexed and with an introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, Music Education is an essential work of reference. It is destined to be valued by specialists in music education and scholars working in related areas—as well as by educational policy-makers and professionals—as a vital research tool.

In the history of the Chinese fine arts in the 20th century, the Mao Zedong Era (1942-1976) is a complete and separate period due to its unique form and style as well as special historical and academic significance.

This book grew out of an exhibition held in Guangdong Art Museum in 2005, featuring the important artworks and related pictorial and textual materials produced during the Mao Zedong Era. It gathers hundreds of vivid, colorful visual artworks that are organized under eight topics: Mao Zedong's images, revolutionary history, socialist images, the workers, farmers, and soldiers, class struggle, minority groups, female images, and the youth. These creative works provide readers and scholars with rare visual references to appreciate and explore the origin, meaning, and value of the fine artworks from that interesting period.

Key Features

VA18-56 Visual Culture, 4-Vols/Set.(文景書局)

  視覺文化
ISBN: 9780415326414　Year: 2005 　Price: GBP 270.00
Author: Smith, Marquard
A b s t r a c t


Visual culture incorporates a number of different visual practices including art, design, performance, architecture, film and photography. The study of visual culture is interdisciplinary, deriving in part from the new art history which emerged in the 1980s, the developing studies of design and material culture, and film, as well as the concepts and methods associated with psychoanalysis, semiotics, gender, class and post-colonialism.

Visual Culture: Critical Concepts is composed of essential articles written by the most stimulating academics working in the field of Visual Studies today. These texts represent both the formation of Visual Culture, and the ways in which it has transformed, and continues to transform, our understanding and experience of the world as a visual domain.

Each volume is divided into three sections. The first two sections provide a substantive collection of texts which interrogate the theme of each volume, while the third section provides a relevant case study which addresses the issues discussed in the volume.

VA18-51 Encyclopedia of 20th Century Architecture, 3-Vols/Set.(文景書局)

  二十世紀建築百科
ISBN: 9781579582432　Year: 2004 　Price: GBP 550.00
Author: Sennott, R. Stephen
A b s t r a c t


In its extensive coverage of architecture's multifaceted production from 1900 to 2000, Encyclopedia of 20th Century Architecture encompasses a far-reaching range of international architectural subjects to provide a fundamental understanding of the century's prominent architects and their buildings.
Encyclopedia of 20th Century Architecture profiles the century's vast chronicle of architectural achievements within and well beyond the theoretical confines of modernism. More than 700 cross-referenced articles examine twentieth-century materials and building technologies, planning, building types, schools and movements, and critics and historians, and architectural practice and the profession in developing and developed cities, countries and regions. In addition to a list of further readings, essays are supported with professional and historic photographs or architectural drawings and plans.
Unlike existing works in architecture, the three-volume Encyclopedia of 20th Century Architecture examines the complexities of rapidly changing global conditions that have dispersed modern architectural types, movements, styles, and building practices across both traditional geographic and cultural boundaries. Seeking well-informed variety, an international team of 300 writers - architectural historians, architects, engineers, preservationists, urban historians, critics and independent scholars - present a comprehensive and critical assessment of buildings, architects, cities and related topics of interest, to provide experts and general readers alike with an integrated view of the practice and profession of architecture around the world.

VA18-47 Encyclopedia of the Romantic Era, 1760-1850, 2-Vols/Set.(文景書局)

  浪漫樂派時期
ISBN: 9781579583613　Year: 2004 　Price: GBP 375.00
Author: Murray, Christopher John
A b s t r a c t


Encyclopedia of the Romantic Era takes a broad view of this cultural period, focusing on the developments that can be seen as characterizing the profound changes in thought and sensibility that occurred during the second half of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century. This illustrated, two-volume set of approximately 850 entries, including some that examine individuals and concepts not usually viewed as 'Romantic' (such as Kant and French artist Jacques-Louis David), will consist of analytical essays with annotated bibliographies, suggestions for further reading, and, in the case of individual-entries, a separate paragraph of biographical information.
The principle aims of Encyclopedia of the Romantic Era are to provide readers with a clear, detailed, and accurate account of the literature, thought, music, and art of the period; to indicate the rich interplay of international influences and cross-currents at work; and to explore the many issues raised by the very concepts of Romantic and Romanticism.

VA18-43 Popular Music: Critical Concepts in Media and Cultural Studies, 4-Vols/Set.(文景書局)

  大眾音樂
ISBN: 9780415299053　Year: 2004 　Price: GBP 1200.00
Author: Frith, Simon
A b s t r a c t


Popular music studies is a rapidly expanding field with changing emphases and agendas. The music industry has changed in recent years, as has governmental involvement in popular music schemes as part of the culture industry. The distinction between the major record labels and the outsider independents has become blurred over time. Popular music, as part of this umbrella of the culture industry, has been progressively globalized and globalizing. The tensions within popular music are now no longer between national cultural identity and popular music, but between the local and the global.
This four volume collection examines the changing status of popular music against this background. Simon Frith examines the heritage of popular music, and how technology has changed not only the production but the reception of this brand of sound. The collection examines how the traditional genres of rock, pop and soul have broken down and what has replaced them, as well as showing how this proliferation of musical styles has also splintered the audience of popular music.
