Cambridge University Press Fountains and Water Culture in Byzantium
Book SynopsisThis book restores the fountains of Roman Byzantium, Byzantine Constantinople and Ottoman Istanbul, reviving the sounds, shapes, smells and sights of past water cultures. Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, is surrounded on three sides by sea, and has no major river to deliver clean, potable water. However, the cultures that thrived in this remarkable waterscape through millennia have developed and sustained diverse water cultures and a water delivery system that has supported countless fountains, some of which survive today. Scholars address the delivery system that conveyed and stored water, and the fountains, large and small, from which it gushed. Papers consider spring water, rainwater and seawater; water suitable for drinking, bathing and baptism; and fountains real, imagined and symbolic. Experts in the history of art and culture, archaeology and theology, and poetry and prose, offer reflections on water and fountains across two millennia in one locaTable of ContentsIntroduction Brooke Shilling and Paul Stephenson; 1. Where do we go now? The archaeology of monumental fountains in the Roman and early Byzantine East Julian Richard; 2. Monumental waterworks in Late Antique Constantinople Paul Stephenson and Ragnar Hedlund; 3. Fistulae and water fraud in Late Antique Constantinople Gerda de Kleijn; 4.

Cambridge University Press The Afterlives of Greek Sculpture
Book SynopsisThe Afterlives of Greek Sculpture is the first comprehensive, historical account of the afterlives of ancient Greek monumental sculptures. Whereas scholars have traditionally focused on the creation of these works, Rachel Kousser instead draws on archaeological and textual sources to analyze the later histories of these sculptures, reconstructing the processes of damage and reparation that characterized the lives of Greek images. Using an approach informed by anthropology and iconoclasm studies, Kousser describes how damage to sculptures took place within a broader cultural context. She also tracks the development of an anti-iconoclastic discourse in Hellenic society from the Persian wars to the death of Cleopatra. Her study offers a fresh perspective on the role of the image in ancient Greece.It also sheds new light on the creation of Hellenic cultural identity and the formation of collective memory in the Classical and Hellenistic eras.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Part I. The Afterlives of Greek Sculptures: 1. Dangerous afterlives: the Greek use of 'voodoo dolls'; 2. Use and abuse: toward an ontology of sculpture in ancient Greece; Part II. Barbaric, Deviant, and Unhellenic: Damage to Sculptures and its Commemoration, 480–31 BC: 3. 'Barbaric' interactions: the Persian invasion and its commemoration in early classical Greece; 4. Deviant interactions: the mutilation of the herms, oligarchy, and social deviance in the Peloponnesian war era; 5. Collateral damage: injury, reuse, and restoration of funerary monuments in the early Hellenistic Kerameikos; 6. State-sanctioned violence: altering, warehousing, and destroying leaders' portraits in the Hellenistic era; Conclusion: the afterlives of Greek sculptures in the Roman and early Christian eras; Bibliography.

The University of Chicago Press Of What One Cannot Speak Doris Salcedos
Book SynopsisDoris Salcedo, a Colombian-born artist, addresses the politics of memory and forgetting in work that embraces fraught situations in dangerous places. This title leads us into intimate encounters with Salcedo's art, encouraging us to consider each work as a 'theoretical object' that invites certain kinds of considerations about history and grief.Trade Review"Of What One Cannot Speak is the next innovative and brilliant book that will once again push the field of visual studies into unexplored areas.... Bal does not simply take Doris Salcedo's work as her starting point, and neither does she argue that the violence of the political is somehow merely 'reflected' in it. Instead, she embarks on a much more ambitious and original project - initiating a discourse by allowing a work of art to take the lead." - Hanneke Grootenboer, University of Oxford"

Schiffer Publishing Ltd African Sculpture
Book SynopsisA comprehensive introduction to the vast range of tribal sculpture from Africa is presented in this photographic survey. Ashanti fertility dolls, Bambara dance headpieces, Bachokwe staff heads, and Bakuba boxes are included in 347 works from Senegal to the Congo regions, Mali to Sierra Leone. This book provides a tremendous opportunity to view the diversity, expressive quality, and sheer evocative power of African art, and to gain a better understanding of one of the great heritages of mankind.
