●内容简介——

几千年来，大理石一直是艺术和建筑的选择材料，是奢华的象征，也是一种充满意义的材料。它适合雕刻、抛光和切片，用途广泛，效果多样。虽然我们对这种材料的物理性质、作为贸易商品的地位以及使用历史了解很多，但对这种材料美学的重点研究尚待观察。除了大理石的图像学，本书还与材料的现象学和人类学密切相关，揭示了大理石细微的美学品质。

从古代晚期到现在，以地中海为中心的理论命题和实证案例研究中，大理石美学论文阐明了大理石的物质吸引力及其标志性潜力。他们研究了这种材料可以发挥的作用范围：从建筑中的实心大理石覆层到模仿人体的柔软大理石雕刻，从其政治和哲学内涵到大理石的现代数字化和再材料化。人们还关注雕塑对象：劳动、技术和艺术家对石头质量及其纹理的敏感性。这本书带来了一个新的美学讨论，这个材料，丰富的历史，变化和可能性。

For millennia, marble has been a material of choice for art and architecture, a sign of luxury, and a material laden with meaning. It lends itself to being carved, polished, and sliced for a vast range of uses and to a variety of effects. While we know much about its physical qualities, its place as a trade commodity, and the history of its use, a focused study of this material’s aesthetics has yet to be seen. Looking beyond marble’s iconology, this volume engages closely with the phenomenology and anthropology of materials, bringing to light the nuanced aesthetic qualities of marble.

Drawing from theoretical propositions and empirical case studies centered on the Mediterranean from late antiquity to the present, the essays in The Aesthetics of Marble illuminate the material appeal of marble and its iconic potential. They examine the range of roles this material can play: from solid marble cladding in architecture to supple marble carvings mimicking human bodies, and from its political and philosophical connotations to modern digital de- and rematerializing of marble. Attention is also devoted to the sculptured object: to labor, technology, and artists’ sensitivity to the qualities of stone and its veining. This volume brings a new aesthetic discussion to this material, rich in history, variation, and possibility.
