The iconic images of Parisian nightlife created by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) became a hallmark of the bohemian lifestyle in fin-de-siècle Paris. A man born into aristocracy but handicapped by his physical disability, Toulouse-Lautrec immersed himself in his radical art and found company in avant-garde artists, dancers, and other social outcasts in Montmartre, Paris's district of pleasure. His widely popular prints of those otherwise marginalized by society captured the nonconformist spirit of the Belle Epoque (1871-1914). While the formal influence of Japanese prints-flat forms, cropped compositions, and vibrant colors-on Toulouse-Lautrec and his contemporaries has been well studied, the shared anti-establishment hedonism that underlies both Japanese prints and Toulouse-Lautrec's work has not been examined in tandem. Rather than focusing on the visual connections between French and Japanese prints, Renegade Edo and Paris highlights the social impulses-pleasure seeking, theater going-that led to the tremendous print production in both Paris and Edo (present-day Tokyo). Drawing from the Seattle Art Museum's Japanese prints collection and from one of the most extensive private holdings of Toulouse-Lautrec prints, this catalogue presents more than 60 works to offer a critical look at the renegade spirit that permeates both Japanese prints and Toulouse-Lautrec's work

The book contains the Proceedings of the 37th International Symposium on Archaeometry, 12th May 2008, Siena, Italy. The aim of the Symposium is to promote the development and use of scientific techniques in order to extract archaeological and historical information from cultural heritage and the paleoenvironment. It involves all Natural Sciences and all types of objects and materials related with human activity. Papers deal with the development and/or application of scientific techniques for extracting information related to human activities of the past, including the biological nature of man himself and the environment in which he lived. Topics include: Field Archaeology and Intergrated Site Studies; Archaeo-chronometry including recent developments in Radiocarbon Dating; Human - Environment Interactions including Geoarchaeology, Palaeoclimate studies, Landscape Archaeology, Environmental reconstructions, etc.; Bioarchaeology; Food preparation and consumption in Antiquity; the Technology and Provenance of Stone, Plaster, Pigments;Ceramics, Glazes, Glass and Vitreous Materials, Metals and Metallurgical Ceramics; and Micro/nano diagnostic techniques.

Spanning over a millennium of history, this book seeks to describe and define the evolution of the China–Southeast Asia nexus and the interactions which have shaped their shared pasts. Examining the relationships which have proven integral to connecting Northeast and Southeast Asia with other parts of the world, the contributors of the volume provide a wide-ranging historical context to changing relations in the region today – perhaps one of the most intense re-orderings occurring anywhere in the world. From maritime trading relations and political interactions to overland Chinese expansion and commerce in Southeast Asia, this book reveals rarely explored connections across the China–Southeast Asia interface. In so doing, it transcends existing area studies boundaries to present an invaluable new perspective to the field. A major contribution to the study of Asian economic and cultural interactions, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Chinese history, as well as those engaged with Southeast Asia.
