The cultures of Nubia built the earliest cities, states, and empires of inner Africa, but they remain relatively poorly known outside their modern descendants and the community of archaeologists, historians, and art historians researching them. The earliest archaeological work in Nubia was motivated by the region's role as neighbor, trade partner, and enemy of ancient Egypt. Increasingly, however, ancient Nile-based Nubian cultures are recognized in their own right as the earliest complex societies in inner Africa. As agro-pastoral cultures, Nubian settlement, economy, political organization, and religious ideologies were often organized differently from those of the urban, bureaucratic, and predominantly agricultural states of Egypt and the ancient Near East. Nubian societies are thus of great interest in comparative study, and are also recognized for their broader impact on the histories of the eastern Mediterranean and the Near East. The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia brings together chapters by an international group of scholars on a wide variety of topics that relate to the history and archaeology of the region. After important introductory chapters on the history of research in Nubia and on its climate and physical environment, the largest part of the volume focuses on the sequence of cultures that lead almost to the present day. Several cross-cutting themes are woven through these chapters, including essays on desert cultures and on Nubians in Egypt. Eleven final chapters synthesize subjects across all historical phases, including gender and the body, economy and trade, landscape archaeology, iron working, and stone quarrying.

The Routledge Companion to Art and Disability explores disability in visual culture to uncover the ways in which bodily and cognitive differences are articulated physically and theoretically, and to demonstrate the ways in which disability is culturally constructed. This companion is organized thematically and includes artists from across historical periods and cultures in order to demonstrate the ways in which disability is historically and culturally contingent. The book engages with questions such as: How are people with disabilities represented in art? How are notions of disability articulated in relation to ideas of normality, hybridity, and anomaly? How do artists use visual culture to affirm or subvert notions of the normative body? Contributors consider the changing role of disability in visual culture, the place of representations in society, and the ways in which disability studies engages with and critiques intersectional notions of gender, race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality. This book will be particularly useful for scholars in art history, disability studies, visual culture, and museum studies.

This collection of essays presents a synthesis of current research on the Oxus Civilization, which rose and developed at the turn of the 3rd to 2nd millennia BC in Central Asia. First discovered in the 1970s, the Oxus Civilization, or the Bactria–Margiana Archaeological Complex (BMAC), has engendered many different interpretations, which are explored in this volume by an international group of archaeologists and researchers. Contributors cover all aspects of this fascinating Bronze Age culture: architecture; material culture; grave goods; religion; migrations; and trade and interactions with neighboring civilizations, from Mesopotamia to the Indus, and the Gulf to the northern steppes. Chapters also examine the Oxus Civilization’s roots in previous local cultures, explore its environmental and chronological context, or the possibly coveted metal sources, and look into the reasons for its decline. The World of the Oxus Civilization offers a broad and fascinating examination of this society, and provides an invaluable updated resource for anyone working on the culture, history, and archaeology of this region and on the multiple interactions at work at that time in the ancient Near East.

Premessa Da alcuni anni, nel mondo accademico, si è diffusa la prassi che quando un docente universitario termina il servizio, i suoi più stretti collaboratori, a sua “insaputa”, confezionino un’opera miscellanea come riconoscimento del percorso scientifico svolto. Non è il caso di questo libro. Paola Galetti, non seguendo la prassi in auge, ha deciso di regalarsi un volume nel quale invitare direttamente amici, colleghi e giovani ricercatori (molti formatisi proprio facendo il dottorato con Paola) che a vario titolo e in varie circostanze hanno condiviso con lei percorsi di ricerca comune. Proprio perché l’interesse era spostato dai contenuti alle persone, agli autori non è stato dato alcun tema specifico, ma si è lasciato liberi di rendere omaggio a Paola nel modo che preferivano. A seconda delle singole sensibilità personali sono stati confezionati contributi più vasti e articolati, rispetto ad altri più puntuali e specifici. In tutti però è emersa l’attenzione d’essere coerenti con gli specifici filoni di indagine che Paola ha portato avanti in questi decenni di insegnamento e studio presso l’Università di Bologna. Il risultato è stato un volume coerente, che è stato possibile articolare in quattro nodi tematici: la storia degli studi, Piacenza, la città e il territorio. L’arco cronologico spazia dall’età tardo antica ai secoli finali del Medioevo, mentre l’areale geografico, sebbene incentrato prevalentemente sull’Italia padana, raggiunge il centro e il sud della Penisola, aprendo finestre anche sull’Europa medievale: Spagna e Polonia. Un aspetto che emerge con forza nel volume e che ha sempre contraddistinto la produzione scientifica di Paola è senza dubbio l’interdisciplinarietà, così la partecipazione di storici, archeologi, ingegneri e storici dell’arte rende l’opera alquanto vivace e ricca di spunti di riflessione metodologica. In questa sede non è il caso di ripercorrere la carriera accademica e il percorso di ricerca di Paola Galetti, in quanto noti e ben chiari. Quello su cui vorrei soffermarmi è una breve nota personale. È per me stato un grande piacere avere l’onore di curare gli atti di questo volume. Con Paola e con il gruppo di ricerca della scuola di Vito Fumagalli (Bruno Andreolli, Massimo Montanari e Gianfranco Pasquali), in un ventennio di attività presso l’Università di Bologna ho avuto modo di crescere e formarmi come ricercatore e di portare avanti i miei autonomi filoni di studio. In questo percorso il ruolo di Paola è stato fondamentale, non solo attraverso gli insegnamenti avuti, ma anche per la grande correttezza e disponibilità dimostrata. Basti solo rilevare che tutte le ricerche sulla società piacentina altomedievale non sarebbero state possibili se Paola, senza remora alcuna, non avesse messo a disposizione la numerosa mole di dati che aveva raccolto e che solo in minima parte erano stati editi. Per queste e per altre mille ragioni non posso che esserle grato e ricordare sempre con grande affetto e piacere gli anni bolognesi di ricerche comuni. Chiudo questa breve premessa con dei doverosi ringraziamenti verso Mila Bondi, Mattia Cantatore e Marco Cavalazzi che a vario titolo mi hanno dato un grande aiuto nella fase di redazione del volume e nella revisione delle bozze. Infine un grande augurio a Paola che la sua uscita dai ranghi effettivi dell’Università coincida con un periodo di meritato riposo, dal quale attingere rinnovate energie per nuove e sempre stimolanti ricerche.

Inside the World’s Major East Asian Collections examines the rise of the “LAM,” an acronym that stands for libraries, archives and museums. In doing so, this book profiles leading experts—librarians, archivists and museum curators—who specialise in East Asian collections from across the world. In examining the dynamically shifting role of the cultural institution in the context of managing information and collections, this book provides important themes offered by these cultural experts in understanding the necessary professional skills, knowledge and personalities that are required for working in such environments of varying size, scope and composition in LAMs. As galleries, LAMs manage preservation and access of history and culture, and their missions and goals as cultural institutions continue to converge. As collecting institutions, LAMs share the common mandate to preserve and make accessible primary resources valuable for researchers and professionals, as well as the public. LAMs are mostly publicly funded, publicly accountable institutions collecting cultural heritage materials. Another aim of this book is to enhance the visibility and recognise the efforts of the LAM professionals as cultural institution leaders, since much of their great contributions in the respective fields to preserving our cultural and documentary heritages have gone unnoticed outside their parent institutions. Examines the roles and goals of cultural institutions Brings collections to life through interviews with LAM experts Presents LAMs with a focus on East Asia Serves as a platform for LAM professionals to share and exchange experiences and insights
