Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a critical and a conceptual analysis of radical Islamist rhetoric drawn from temporally and contextually varied Islamist extremist groups, challenging the popular understanding of Islamist extremism as a product of a 'clash-of-civilizations'.Arguing that the essence of Islamist extremism can only be accurately understood by drawing a distinction between the radical Islamist explanations and justifications of violence, the author posits that despite the radical Islamist contextualization of violence within Islamic religious tenets, there is nothing conceptual

Sommario/riassunto

Depuis 1979, les critiques d'art chinois ont accompagné le développement de l’art contemporain, participant à la renaissance de la vie intellectuelle durement éprouvée sous le règne de Mao. Cet ouvrage présente d’une part le paysage intellectuel dans lequel s’est construite la discipline, et d’autre part les textes théoriques et leur réception dans le milieu académique. Attirés au départ par la pensée occidentale, un champ référentiel qui s’étend de Platon à Danto, les critiques chinois se sont tournés ensuite vers le corpus classique, pour forger des outils « propres à la Chine » afin de ré-écrire une histoire de l’art contemporain chinois délivrée du carcan post-colonial, mais au risque de se prendre au piège d’un nationalisme insidieux encouragé par le Parti communiste. Que ce soit Gao Minglu, Li Xianting, Wang Lin ou encore Wang Nanming, tous questionnent la méta-critique, le sort et l’essor de la modernité et du postmodernisme, les discours historiques ou l’art abstrait et ses liens avec la calligraphie.
Qu’ils récusent les concepts occidentaux jugés inaptes pour interpréter l’art chinois ou recourent aux concepts classiques, qu’ils défendent une démarche universelle et



condamnent les artistes et les critiques qui brandissent leur identité chinoise, ils aspirent à un art « au service du peuple », produit par des artistes intégrés à la société. Leurs écrits attestent de la vitalité de la critique d’art contemporaine chinoise.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a lucid introduction to the basics of gemmology. It familiarizes archaeologists, art historians and conservators with the science of gemstones and allows them to understand the basic



concepts of their provenance, typology and treatments. Which are the main types of gems? What treatments can be applied? How does one analyse gems? How can gems contribute to archaeometrical research? This volume is written by four experts in the fields of gemmology and archaeometry and addresses both students who need an introduction to this field and professionals who want to refresh their knowledge of the topic. This work is part of a series of introductory texts that deal with a broad range of materials-related topics in archaeometry.
