A Critical History of New Music in China

An Academic History of China’s Han Dynasty
This book examines the academic legacy of the Han dynasty. It explicates the line between the explaining of a classical text (训诂) and the study of classical texts and their interpretation (训诂学).

Super Young Man: Hunting in the City
In the deep abyss of the night, he was cold and emotionless. He danced on the blade of his saber, drinking blood in the midst of slaughter. Pink flower capital, he let loose the body, free and uninhibited, embrace the beautiful angel of the sky, right embrace death weeping blood goddess.

Saved from Desert Sands
Saved from Desert Sands, edited by Kelsey Granger and Imre Galambos, unites historians, codicologists, art historians, archaeologists, and curators in the study of material culture on the Silk Roads. The re-discovery of forgotten manuscript archives and sand-buried cities in the twentieth century has brought to light thousands of manuscripts and artefacts. To date, textual content has largely been prioritised over physical objects and their materiality, but the material aspects of these objects are just as important. Focusing primarily on the material and non-textual, this volume presents studies on silver dishes, sealing systems, manuscripts, Buddhist paintings, and ceramics, all of which demonstrate the centrality of material culture in the study of the Silk Roads.
