Book excerpt: On Collecting examines the nature of collecting both in Europe and among people living within the European tradition elsewhere. Susan Pearce looks at the way we collect and what this tells us about ourselves and our society.

How do we use objects to construct our identity? This book breaks new ground in its analysis of our relationship to the material world.

Download or read book Centring the Periphery: New Perspectives on Collecting East Asian Objects written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Centring the Periphery: New Perspectives on Collecting East Asian Objects, edited by Nataša Vampelj Suhadolnik, explores East Asian collections in "peripheral" areas of Europe and North America and their relationship with the East Asian collections in former imperial and colonial centres. The authors not only present the stories of a number of less well-known individual objects and collections, but also discuss the evolution of fashions and tastes in East Asian objects in areas that were not centres of European colonial power, and the socioeconomic conditions in which they were collected. To date, research on the collecting of East Asian objects in the Euro-American region has focused primarily on larger collections and collectors. The stories from the periphery, however, deserve to be told. They point to important departures from the dominant discourses and practices of East Asian collecting, thus raising questions about established taxonomies and knowledge systems. With contributions by Tina Berdajs, Chou Wei-Chiang, Györgyi Fajcsák, Jin Han, Sarah Laursen, Beatrix Mecsi, Motoh Helena, Stacey Pierson, Maria Sobotka, Filip Suchomel, Barbara Trnovec, Nataša Vampelj Suhadolnik, Brigid Vance, Maja Veselič, Nataša Visočnik Gerželj, Bettina Zorn.

Download or read book On Collecting Japanese Colour-Prints written by Basil Stewart and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1917, On Collecting Japanese-Prints is meant to assist the amateur who has started a collection for the first time, or the person who, while not actually a collector, is sufficiently interested to read about the subject, yet finds the more exhaustive and advanced works thereon somewhat beyond them. How to distinguish forgeries and imitations; what prices should be given; what examples can still be obtained, are some of the questions which the writer has attempted to answer. The following chapters being primarily written for the beginner, artists whose work is very rare, or whose prints they are unlikely to come across in their search for examples, are not mentioned, unless where necessary from a historical or artistic point of view.

Book excerpt: It is a fundamental requirement for a successful running of the PSEFS project on one hand to collect information and data related to cross-border couples in Europe and on the other hand to evaluate the extent to which the two new Regulations of 2016 are known by the potential beneficiaries of the rules, the cross-border couples. Another aspect is the opportunity to verify the extent to which the EU regulatory choice of two different regulations, 1103 and 1104 of 2016, is an expression of a social and regulatory taxonomy in Europe. The report is the document through which the results of this survey will be made public.
