Eco-art history in East and Southeast Asia

The essays in this anthology examine artwork and sites in East and Southeast Asia through the lens of eco-art history.

In these regions, significant anthropogenic changes to terrain, watercourses and ecosystems date back millennia, as do artwork and artefacts that both conceptualize and modify the natural world.

The rising interest in earth-conscious modes of analysis, or 'eco-art history,' informs this anthology, which explores the mutual impact of artistic expressions and local environments in East and Southeast Asia.
