Faking It! collects eleven chapters which explore the question of
forgery from different disciplinary angles: literary historical and
art historical contributions share space with discussions of
jewels, architecture and coinage. The various case studies take as
their focus developments in Renaissance Italy and Early Modern
England as well as in France, Germany, Malta, Denmark, Sweden,
Iceland, Russia and Australia. While each chapter contributes to a
better understanding of the local context of cultural production,
together they suggest new answers to how we can understand forgery.
The concept of performance allows us to see beyond normative
approaches and gain insight into some of the ambiguities concerning
the nature of forgery. Contributors include: Brian Boeck, Federica
Boldrini, Patricia Pires Boulhosa, Laurent Curelly, Helen Hughes,
Jacqueline Hylkema, Philip Lavender, Lorenzo Paoli, Ingrid D.
Rowland, Camilla Russo, and Ksenija Tschetschik-Hammerl.
Gender, Continuity, and the Shaping of Modernity in the Arts of
East Asia, 16th-20th Centuries explores women's and men's
contributions to the arts and gendered visual representations in
China, Korea, and Japan from the premodern through modern eras. A
critical introduction and nine essays consider how threads of
continuity and exchanges between the cultures of East Asia, Europe,
and the United States helped to shape modernity in this region, in
the process revealing East Asia as a vital component of the
trans-Pacific world. The essays are organized into three themes:
representations of femininity, women as makers, and constructions
of gender, and they consider examples of architecture, painting,
woodblock prints and illustrated books, photography, and textiles.
Contributors are: Lara C. W. Blanchard, Kristen L. Chiem, Charlotte
Horlyck, Ikumi Kaminishi, Nayeon Kim, Sunglim Kim, Radu Leca,
Elizabeth Lillehoj, Ying-chen Peng, and Christina M. Spiker.
Gender, Continuity, and the Shaping of Modernity in the Arts of
East Asia, 16th-20th Centuries is now available in paperback for
