{"product_id":"the-oxford-handbook-of-greek-and-roman-art-and-architecture","title":"The Oxford Handbook of Greek and Roman Art and Architecture","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe study of Greek and Roman Art and Architecture has a long history that goes back to the second half of the 18th century and has provided an essential contribution towards the creation and the definition of the wider disciplines of Art History and Architectural History. This venerable tradition and record are in part responsible for the diffused tendency to avoid general discussions addressing the larger theoretical implications  methodologies  and directions of research in the discipline. This attitude is in sharp contrast not only with the wider field of Art History  but also with disciplines that are traditionally associated with the study of Greek and Roman Art and Architecture  like Classics and Classical Archaeology. In recent years  the field has been characterized by an ever-increasing range of approaches  under the influence of various disciplines such as Sociology  Semiotics  Gender Theory  Anthropology  Reception Theory  and Hermeneutics. In light of these recent developments  this Handbook seeks to explore key aspects of Greek and Roman Art and Architecture  and to assess the current state of the discipline.  The Handbook includes thirty essays  in addition to the introduction  by an international team of leading senior scholars  who have played a critical role in shaping the field  and by younger scholars  who will express the perspectives of a newer generation. After a framing introduction written by the editor  which compares ancient and modern notions of art and architecture  the Handbook is divided into five sections: Pictures from the Inside  Greek and Roman Art and Architecture in the Making  Ancient Contexts  Post-Antique Contexts  and Approaches. Together  the essays in the volume make for an innovative and important book  one that is certain to find a wide readership.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945415929909,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199783306","price":179.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199783304.jpg?v=1770877875","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-oxford-handbook-of-greek-and-roman-art-and-architecture","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
