Abstract

"This is the first study that adopts a comprehensive, thorough, and interdisciplinary approach toward early Chinese lost-wax castings. With more than 80 images, this book provides a study on the "norms," which are seldom questioned. By examining the reasons why Chinese founders often chose not to use the lost-wax process they had clearly mastered, the book refutes the idea that lost-wax technology is the only "right way" to cast bronzes. This study demonstrates that a "norm" is in many ways an illusion that twists our comprehension of art, technology, civilization, and history"--

Abstract

« Les transformations induites par les technologies électroacoustiques et numériques ont eu comme conséquence l'éclatement des catégories musicales traditionnelles - la partition, l'instrument, l'interprète - en une riche diversité d'objets techniques dont la mise en relation est une forme d'écriture. Chaque œuvre apparaît alors comme un agencement original de ces catégories, comme une « concrétisation », pour reprendre un terme de Gilbert Simondon, de leurs fonctions dans une pluralité de techniques, de corps et d'objets. Cet ouvrage décrit, dans un langage abordable pour le non-spécialiste, la nature de ces transformations et permet ainsi d'observer de près le métier du compositeur d'aujourd'hui et la formidable variété dans la création musicale contemporaine. En s'appuyant sur des nombreux exemples illustrés, il propose aussi un important appareil conceptuel qui intéressera également les chercheurs et les étudiants en musicologie, esthétique et art. »--Page 4 de la couverture.

Abstract

Mail armour (commonly mislabelled 'chainmail') was used for more than two millennia on the battlefield. After its invention in the Iron Age, mail rapidly spread all over Europe and beyond. The Roman army, keen on new military technology, soon adopted mail armour and used it successfully for centuries. Its history did not stop there and mail played a vital role in warfare during the Middle Ages up to the Early Modern Period. Given its long history, one would think mail is a well-documented material, but that is not the case. For the first time, this books lays a solid foundation for the understanding of mail armour and its context through time. It applies a long-term multi-dimensional approach to extract a wealth of as yet untapped information from archaeological, iconographic and written sources. This is complemented with technical insights on the mail maker?s chaîne opératoire. Martijn A. Wijnhoven holds a PhD in archaeology from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He specializes in ancient military studies and has published extensively on the analysis and reconstruction of ancient armour spanning from the Iron Age to the Middle Ages. His research combines methods from history, anthropology, and archaeology, rendering a holistic approach to material studies.
