From the Gymnasium, of his native place he went to the Universities of Berlin, Munich, and Heidelberg, where he studied philosophy and the natural sciences.

The Saturated World
Explores the way middle-class American women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries added meaning to their lives through their "domestic amusements"--leisure pursuits that took place in and were largely focused on the home. Women elaborated on their everyday tasks and responsibilities with these amusements thus cultivating a heightened, aesthetically charged "saturated" state and created self-contained enchanted worlds.
Japanese Art – Transcultural Perspectives
The transcultural approach to Japanese art history embraced by the contributors to this volume centers on the dynamic aesthetic, artistic, and conceptual negotiations across cultural, temporal, and spatial boundaries. It not only acknowledges material objects, people, and technologies as agents, but also intangible practices such as knowledge and concepts as vital agencies of interaction in transcultural processes. With its premise on connectivity, trans-territoriality, networks, and their transformative potential, this research destabilizes categorical configurations such as “center vs. periphery” and “high vs. low,” calling into question the classical canon of Japanese art history.

Coverage stretches all the way from the time of Charlemagne to the present day and includes lesser-known as well as world-famous Germans. In order to ensure that entries were as objective as possible, only individuals whose life and works have come to an end were included.
Art, Culture, and Pedagogy
The legacy of Graeme Chalmers’s research in art education underpins a foundational understanding of critical multiculturalism and offers a rigorous analysis of oppression and institutionalization of unequal power relations. His work begins in stories involving disruption and advocacy, and how when working in collaboration, we may then begin to share lived knowledge in ways that bring sociopolitical dimensions to the fore to help us move towards breaking cycles of divisiveness. International scholars share both reflective commentaries that look back upon Graeme Chalmers’s contributions, as well as offer diverse perspectives that look forward to the enduring potentialities and possibilitie...
