Critical Approaches To Ancient Near Eastern Art

ISBN: 9781614510291 出版年：2013 页码：842 Brown， Brian A Feldman， Marian H De Gruyter

The volume assembles more than 30 articles focusing on the visual， material， and environmental arts of the Ancient Near East. Specific case studies range temporally from the fourth millennium up to the Hellenistic period and geographically from Iran to the eastern Mediterranean. Contributions apply innovative theoretical and methodological approaches to archaeological evidence and critically examine the historiography of the discipline itself. Not intended to be comprehensive， the volume instead captures a cross-section of the field of Ancient Near Eastern art history as its stands in the second decade of the twenty-first century. The volume will be of value to scholars working in the Ancient Near East as well as others interested in newer art historical and anthropological approaches to visual culture.
