        Art history

        A critical introduction to its methods

        by Michael Hatt, Charlotte Klonk

        Art History: A critical introduction to its methods provides a lively and stimulating introduction to methodological debates within art history. Offering a lucid account of approaches from Hegel to post-colonialism, the book provides a sense of art history's own history as a discipline from its emergence in the late-eighteenth century to contemporary debates. By explaining the underlying philosophical and political assumptions behind each method, along with clear examples of how these are brought to bear on visual and historical analysis, the authors show that an adherence to a certain method is, in effect, a commitment to a set of beliefs and values. The book makes a strong case for the vitality of the discipline and its methodological centrality to new fields such as visual culture. This book will be of enormous value to undergraduate and graduate students, and also makes its own contributions to ongoing scholarly debates about theory and method. ;

        Excavations at ed‐Dur

        by Ernie Haerinck- Translated by Dr. Hamad bin Sarai and Prof. Hanan Salem Al Hashemi

        The late Dr. Ernie Haerinck is one of the most significant European archaeologists, who communicated with the Arab Gulf and carried out many archaeological excavations in the region. Most important of which was the excavation of the ed-Dur site in the Emirate of Umm Al Quwain, which is one of the most important archaeological sites in the Arabian Gulf, dating back to the period from the first century BC to the second century AD. Dr. Haerinck has published a number of works and research on the findings of the excavation at the site, one of which is this book, in which he, along with his team, excavated in ed-Dur temple and its surroundings. The temple is also known as "The Temple of the Sun God". The temple has two doors, eastern and western doors, along with a number of altars near it intended for offering sacrifices. The author believes that this temple is surrounded by a sanctuary, in which the visitors gather, then enter the temple from its eastern door and exit from its western door. The author also believes that this temple is the most notable place of worship discovered so far in the southeast Arabia. The author included an accurate architectural description of the temple, in addition to the surrounding altars, as well as documenting a number of archaeological discoveries that were found during excavation and archaeological surveys, such as: coins, stucco decorations on the walls of the temple, some Roman bronze artifacts such as the saddles, for example, stone statues of a bird likely to be an eagle.

        Queering Chinese Kinship

        Queer Public Culture in Globalizing China

        by Lin Song

        What does it mean to be queer in a Confucian society in which kinship roles, ties, and ideologies are of such great importance? This book makes sense of queer cultures in China—a country with one of the largest queer populations in the world—and offers an alternative to Euro-American blueprints of queer individual identity. This book contends that kinship relations must be understood as central to any expression of queer selfhood and culture in contemporary cultural production in China. Using a critical approach—“queering Chinese kinship”—Lin Song scrutinizes the relationship between queerness and family relations, and questions Eurocentric queer culture’s frequent assumption of the separation of queerness from blood family.   Offering five case studies of queer representations across a range of media genres, this book also challenges the tendency in current scholarship on Chinese and East Asian queerness to understand queer cultures as predominantly counter-mainstream, marginal, and underground. Shedding light on the representations of queerness and kinship in independent and subcultural as well as commercial and popular cultural products, the book presents a more comprehensive picture of queerness and kinship in flux and highlights queer politics as an integral part of contemporary Chinese public culture.

        Wrestling's 101 Strangest Matches

        by Oliver Hurley

        There’s nothing else in the world of sport or pantomime to compare with the manic mat mayhem of pro wrestling, which amalgamates high-flying stunts with melodrama, spandex, bodybuilding and blood – and sometimes it gets really weird. Wrestling’s 101 Strangest Matches scours 100 years of history to reveal bouts that bordered on the unbelievable. Take the grappler who lost his foot in the middle of a match, the bout that took place in an exploding swimming pool, or the baroque carnage of ultraviolent deathmatches – and then sprinkle liberally with double-crosses, drunkenness, riots, time travel, broken rings and broken bones. Boasting an impressive breadth of coverage which takes in old-school British wrestling and present-day WWE, the bill features Hulk Hogan, Kendo Nagasaki, Muhammad Ali, a wrestling robot and a monkey. Many of the stars and bizarre attractions submit to revealing interviews in a celebration of the grap game at its very strangest.
