While Ming rulers reinforced hierarchical, patriarchal structures modeled on earlier dynasties, women played vital roles in shaping family and state institutions. Despite their influence, historical literature often stereotypes or overlooks them. Soulliere reinterprets texts and material culture โ€œagainst the grainโ€ to reveal how women carved out meaningful positions within the imperial household from 1368 to 1465. This richly illustrated volume offers fresh insights into the social, cultural, and political impact of women in early Ming China and is essential reading for scholars, students, and anyone interested in gender and history.

From scrolls to ceramic pillows, these images werenโ€™t just beautifulโ€”they documented resource use, critiqued social inequity, and engaged with governance and sustainability long before industrialization. Wangโ€™s groundbreaking study connects art, politics, and ecology, revealing how landscape imagery served as a medium for debating human-nature relationships and state power. By blending visual and material culture with environmental history, this book offers fresh insights into premodern ecocriticism and its relevance to todayโ€™s global challenges. A must-read for anyone interested in art, sustainability, and the long arc of environmental thought. ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ“š

The number 8 is central in many traditions, seen in the I Ching's trigrams, the 8 Immortals, Buddhist symbols, and auspicious motifs. These elements often appear as interconnected serial narratives, enriched with figures, scenes, landscapes, and symbols. To illustrate this, we showcase nine exquisite objects from the UMAG collection, each with eight sections or motifs, highlighting the diversity of Chinese craftsmanship and storytelling. These works serve as microcosms of mythology, reflecting a vast network of relationships within a larger system. The book also features six contemporary artistsโ€”YAU Wing Fung, Daphne Alexis HO, YU Hee, Adrian FALKNER, Klaus MERKEL, and Arvid BOECKERโ€”demonstrating that serial and systemic narratives continue to inspire modern art. Join us in exploring the timeless dialogue between tradition and contemporary creativity.
