Processing the Past explores the dramatic changes taking place in historical understanding and archival management and hence the relations between historians and archivists Written by an archivist and a historian it shows how these changes have been brought on by new historical thinking new conceptions of archives changing notions of historical authority modifications in archival practices and new information technologies The book takes an archival turn by situating archives as subjects rather than places of study and examining the increasingly problematic relationships between historical and archival workBy showing how nineteenth and early twentiethcentury historians and archivists in Europe and North America came to occupy the same conceptual and methodological space the book sets the background to these changes In the past authoritative history was based on authoritative archives and mutual understandings of scientific research These connections changed as historians began to ask questions not easily answered by traditional documentation and archivists began to confront an unmanageable increase in the amount of material they processed and the challenges of new electronic technologies The authors contend that historians and archivists have divided into two entirely separate professions with distinct conceptual frameworks training and purposes as well as different understandings of the authorities that govern their work Processing the Past moves toward bridging this divide by speaking in one voice to these very different audiences Blouin and Rosenberg conclude by raising the worrisome question of what future historical archives might be like if historical scholars and archivists no longer understand each other and indeed whether their now different notions of what is archival and historical will ever again be joined

Established in the belief that imperialism as a cultural phenomenon had as significant an effect on the dominant as it did on the subordinate societies the Studies in Imperialism series seeks to develop the new sociocultural approach which has emerged through crossdisciplinary work on popular culture media studies art history the study of education and religion sports history and childrens literature The cultural emphasis embraces studies of migration and race while the older political and constitutional economic and military concerns are never far away It incorporates comparative work on European and American empirebuilding with the chronological focus primarily though not exclusively on the 19th and 20th centuries when these cultural exchanges were most powerfully at work This work part of a series on the British Empire covers and compares the different ways and means that were employed in policing policies from 1830 to 1940 Countries covered range from Ireland Australia Africa and India to New Zealand and the Caribbean The book in line with the direction of the series as a whole is concerned with crosscultural matters drawing in the social and political effects of the topics under review

In The Construction of Authority in Ancient Rome and Byzantium Sarolta Takács examines the role of the Roman emperor who was the single most important lawgiving authority in Roman society Emperors had to embody the qualities or virtues espoused by Romes ruling classes Political rhetoric shaped the ancients reality and played a part in the upkeep of their political structures Takács isolates a reoccurring cultural pattern a conscious appropriation of symbols and signs verbal and visual belonging to the Roman Empire She shows that many contemporary concepts of empire have Roman precedents which are reactivations or reuses of wellestablished ancient patterns Showing the dialectical interactivity between the constructed past and present Takács also focuses on the issue of classical legacy through these virtues which are not simply repeated or adapted cultural patterns but are tools for the legitimization of political power authority and even domination of one nation over another

Imperial Manchu support and patronage of Buddhism particularly in Mongolia and Tibet has often been dismissed as cynical political manipulation Empire of Emptiness questions this generalization by taking a fresh look at the huge outpouring of Buddhist painting sculpture and decorative arts Qing court artists produced for distribution throughout the empire It examines some of the Buddhist underpinnings of the Qing view of rulership and shows just how central images were in the carefully reasoned rhetoric the court directed toward its Buddhist allies in inner Asia The multilingual culturally fluid Qing emperors put an extraordinary range of visual styles into practiceChinese Tibetan Nepalese and even the European Baroque brought to the court by Jesuit artists Their pictorial sculptural and architectural projects escape easy analysis and raise questions about the difference between verbal and pictorial description the ways in which overt and covert meaning could be embedded in images through juxtaposition and collage and the collection and criticism of paintings and calligraphy that were intended as supports for practice and not initially as works of art All scholars of the Qianlong era of early modern Mongol studies of Tibetan Buddhism and of premodern China studies will find the book indispensable Pamela Crossley Dartmouth College More than any other art historical study to appear recently this book expands our view of the visual culture of late imperial China by highlighting its ethnic complexity Marsha Haufler University of Kansas
