After World War II, museum and gallery exhibitions, industrial and trade fairs, biennials, triennials, festivals and world's fairs increasingly came to be used as locations for the exercise of "soft power," for displays of cultural diplomacy between nations and as spaces for addressing areas of social and political contestation. Exhibitions Beyond Boundaries opens with a substantial introduction to the key debates, followed by case studies that advance the field of exhibition histories both geographically and methodologically, focusing on postwar transnational exchange and the wider networks engendered through exhibitions. Chapters trace relations across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific, and the United States of America, drawing on a range of approaches and perspectives, principally from art and design history but also from social, economic and political history, and museum studies. Featured case studies include the presentation of African-American Art at FESMAN '66 and FESTAC '77, the US's 1961 Small Industries Exhibition in Colombo, Israel's early appearances at the Venice Biennale, the Vatican Pavilion at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, and Hong Kong's Pavilion at Expo 70 in Tokyo.
From Hong Kong, to Italy, to Canada, to United States, Hidi Lee believes that no matter where she works, she faces the same kind of person: the one that is confused and insecure of her own body.Having been a lingerie designer for 24 years, Lee believes this lack of confidence is due to the false body perception that is often implemented by the mass media. Lee argues against what she calls the “old school sexy” which she sees as prevalence of a curvy body or dressing provocatively. In Sexy with no Boundaries: Discover the Art of being Sexy--Mentally, Physically and Professionally, she promotes what she labels “Sexy in the New Millennium”. Being sexy isn’t just about skin-deep beauty. It’s about aligning the physical beauty with inner qualities such as mind-set, happiness, self-love, sense of humor, and confidence to complete what is the true meaning of “sexy,” from the inside and out. Let her show you how.She believes that this “one day” is approaching us sooner than anybody thinks. Now is the time to speak for love, generosity, kindness, integrity, and peace. And her dream is contagious.“Have you ever stood in front of your mirror and completely fall in love with what you see?”Lee and her contributors join forces to inspire individuals to realize that sexy is size-blind, age-blind, beauty-blind, gender-blind, religious-blind. We are all sexy and beautiful in our own way. Her ultimate goal is to turn the once confused and insecure individual to receive massive success filled with confidence and sexiness.

Despite the recent growth in university courses on European Studies and Cultural Studies, and notwithstanding increasing public concern about questions of national identity within Europe, there is currently little material available which explores the diversity of European identities specifically within the context of European literary and filmic culture. In tackling ten novels, six plays, four films, three short stories, three books of travel writing and one diary, covering fifteen nationalities in all, the authors of this volume are seeking to fill this gap. The twelve essays contain detailed textual analysis embedded within a framework of cultural theory whose most celebrated reference points include Freud, Edward Said, Benedict Anderson and Homi Bhabha. This volume is aimed not only at specialists in identity studies and those concerned with the artistic landscape of a wider Europe - including Russia, the Balkans, Finland and Turkey. It will also interest those preoccupied with building an imaginative and imagined identity for Europe, an identity which might help to sustain it as a political entity and lend it greater popular legitimacy than it enjoys at present.

The Roman Empire had a rich and multifaceted visual culture, which was often variegated due to the sprawling geography of its provinces. In this remarkable work of scholarship, a group of international scholars has come together to find alternative ways to discuss the nature and development of the art and archaeology of the Roman provinces. The result is a collection of nineteen compelling essays—accompanied by carefully curated visual documentation, seven detailed maps, and an extensive bibliography—organized around the four major themes of provincial contexts, tradition and innovation, networks and movements, and local accents in an imperial context. Easy assumptions about provincial dependence on metropolitian models give way to more complicated stories. Similarities and divergences in local and regional responses to Rome appear, but not always in predictable places and in far from predictable patterns. The authors dismiss entrenched barriers between art and archaeology, center and provinces, even “good art” and “bad art,” extending their observations well beyond the empire’s boundaries, and examining phenomena, sites, and monuments not often found in books about Roman art history or archaeology. The book thus functions to encourage continued critical engagement with how scholars study the material past of the Roman Empire and, indeed, of imperial systems in general.
