Moon Minseok--or Moonster as this WDB fans know him--wasn't born to lead.

Lavishly illustrated and deeply researched, this volume opens a window into the rich supernatural traditions of the Tai peoples of Southeast Asia. Centered on manuscripts, textiles, and talismans, it explores how sacred knowledge is embedded in material form through intricate diagrams, protective spells, and vivid depictions of benevolent and malevolent spirits. Drawing on four years of fieldwork in the Shan State of Myanmar and the Shan (Tai) people of northern Thailand, Susan Conway presents the voices and practices of ritual specialists who continue to create and use these objects in healing, protection, and divination. Blending ethnographic insight with objects held in collections in Thailand, the United States, and the United Kingdom, this book offers an evocative portrait of a living tradition where Buddhism, spiritual beliefs, and local cosmology converge in the service of well-being and spiritual balance.

The remains of ancient Mediterranean art and architecture that have survived over the centuries present the modern viewer with images of white, the color of the stone often used for sculpture. Antiquarian debates and recent scholarship, however, have challenged this aspect of ancient sculpture. There is now a consensus that sculpture produced in the ancient Mediterranean world, as well as art objects in other media, were, in fact, polychromatic. Color has consequently become one of the most important issues in the study of classical art. Jennifer Stager's landmark book makes a vital contribution to this discussion. Analyzing the dyes, pigments, stones, earth, and metals found in ancient art works, along with the language that writers in antiquity used to describe color, she examines the traces of color in a variety of media. Stager also discusses the significance of a reception history that has emphasized whiteness, revealing how ancient artistic practice and ancient philosophies of co

Centring priest and navigator Tupaia and Pacific worldviews, this richly illustrated volume weaves a new set of cultural histories in the Pacific, between local islanders and the crew of the Endeavour on James Cook’s first ‘voyage of discovery’ (1768-1771). This book revisits the National Maritime Museum’s material collections brought back from the voyage, paying particular attention to objects, journals, drawings, maps, cloth and clothes, and the attending narratives that framed Britain’s kaleidoscopic engagement with Pacific peoples. Bringing together artists, scholars, historians, theorists, and tailors, this book presents a cross-cultural conversation that breathes new life into the concepts of acquired and curated artefacts and taonga that traversed oceans and entwined cultures. Each chapter draws attention to a particular material, object or process to reveal fresh insights on the voyage, the societies it brought together and the histories it transformed. Chapters cover Tupai

A short, serious history of the co-development of sex and sexuality and the internet, and how the issues at their convergence increasingly define our lives: free speech, privacy, online banking, dating and social media, streaming technology, cultural and sexual appropriation, and mass data collection. From the moment there was an “online,” there was sex online. The famous test image used by software engineers to develop formats like the jpeg was “Lenna,” taken from Playboy’s November 1972 centerfold. Early bulletin boards and multi-user domains quickly came to serve their members sexual musings. Facebook started as a way to rate “hot or not” Harvard co-eds. In fact, virtually every significant development that defines the Internet we know and love (and hate) today―privacy issues, online payments and online banking, dating, social media, streaming technology, mass data collection―came out the meeting of sexuality and technology. And the kicker is, not only did sexuality vastly

Benjamin J. Petroelje argues that how one reads Ephesians is a function of deeper questions about how to read the Pauline book. Petroelje suggests the contemporary consensus―that Ephesians depicts development of/away from the “real Paul”―is largely a construct of modern criticism, rooted in shifting strategies about how to read a letter collection that developed in the 19th-century.Using Ephesians 3:1-13 as a point of analysis, Petroelje theorizes that the text’s “image of Paul” not only anticipates recent revisionist interpretations of Paul’s Jewish identity and gentile gospel, but also holds together tensions in the collection itself surrounding these questions. By analysing ancient letter collections beside their own hermeneutical priorities, and applying this method to the late-antique and modern reception of the corpus Paulinum, Petroelje is able to historicize the origins of the split of Paul's corpus, revealing the constructed nature of the critical consensus on Ephesians and th

從東、西方古今藝術品中錘煉而成的創作原則裝飾紋樣與印花設計領域必不可少的理論和實務著作 1856年於倫敦出版問世的《紋飾法則》（The Grammar of Ornament）被譽為英國美術工藝運動先鋒（Arts & Crafts Movement）鉅作。本書收錄一百幅精美的彩色圖版，旨在引領讀者深入觀摩東西方幾千年文化底蘊下最具代表性的裝飾藝術（decorative art）典範與應用方法。作者費盡苦心搜羅，橫跨廣袤土地與時間長河所梳理出的設計進程，為後世打通一條清晰的設計思路。爾後，瓊斯終其一生耕耘裝飾藝術之研究。他於1867 年親筆將晚清因戰亂流傳至西方的中國工藝珍藏繪製成平面圖版，並以前作中著名的〈建築暨裝飾的37條造形與色彩基本原則〉逐一分析中國傳統紋飾的設計方法，集結成《中國紋飾法則》（Examples of Chinese Ornament: Selected from Objects in the South Kensington Museum and Other Collections）。書中揭示中國紋飾的元素與構圖，經由中國人獨樹一格的配色，展現優雅恬靜、具皇家風采，又或者奇特而帶有異國情調的多重面貌，重塑了當時西方對中國的既有審美觀。本書做為裝飾藝術史不朽巨著《紋飾法則》的延續，在歷時十年後，與前作攜手交織出耐人尋味的風格脈絡。作者精闢的見解，對十九世紀下半葉工藝界，乃至於現代工業設計發展，皆有不可抹滅的重要價值。《Pattern Design 圖解圖樣設計》為日本設計家藤田伸（Fujita Shin）多年的研究成果。作者在這本向歐文‧瓊斯、拉西涅（Auguste Racinet）、艾雪（M.C. Escher）等大家致敬的技法教學書中，歸納出17種平面對稱群組的國際共通標記（包括平移、鏡射、旋轉、分割的變化式）。透過重複和拼合手法拆解圖樣規律，引發讀者一步步嘗試的樂趣、進而重組出極具現代感的迷人作品。 此一主題珍稀的套書之中，單本有其無與倫比的個性、交互對照又相得益彰。在如今人人都能取得生產工具且科技日新月異的趨勢下，如能融會貫通書中所提出的創作概念與具體方法，設計者更能奠定自身在市場中不斷推陳出新、屹立不搖的根本之道。 *** 單書介紹 ***《紋飾法則：奠定當代設計思維的37條造型與色彩基本原則》英國
