handbooks

Encyclopedias and handbooks provide excellent ways to get an overview and start your research project. (Think of how you use this encyclopedia, probably every day.) To help give context to large research questions, the Library has just purchased a collection of encyclopedias and handbooks from SAGE Reference. You’ll find answers to questions like:

• What is the history of European Film Scholarship and how does Film Studies interact with other disciplines like Mass Media, Anthropology, and Ethnography?
• from The SAGE Handbook of Film Studies

• How does performance address social issues through Lethal Theatre: Performance, Punishment, and the Death Penalty?
• from The SAGE Handbook of Performance Studies

• What are the Four Types of Visual Culture?
• from the Handbook of Material Culture

• What is the interplay between Social Movement and Modern Dance?
• from the Encyclopedia of Social Movement Media

You can search or browse the SAGE Reference collection, and find more resources through our Arts and Humanities subject guides. If you have any comments, let us know here or via email.
