- 'Entangled Landscapes: Early Modern China and Europe' proposes a new research paradigm in global art history. As the main editor of this multidisciplinary volume, Zhuang's contribution includes a theoretical introduction (13,445 words), chapter 2 (19,695 words) and chapter 4 (11,021words, co-authored). The two chapters examine diverse material from different perspectives in distinct sociopolitical contexts (i.e. city planning and the building of the British empire; individuals' struggle in the Rites Controversy between the Jesuits, Propaganda Fide, and the Qing court). Funded twice by Marie Curie (2011-13, 2014-18), the book represents a complex and seven-year process of Zhuang's creative investigation.

- Additional information
- Entangled Landscapes is 99% Zhuang's brain child. The concept for the new cutting-edge, international genre is hers alone. She single-handedly convened the initial international Entangled Landscapes symposium at the Rietberg Museum in Zurich - securing funding from six organisations; welcoming participants from three continents; and thoroughly editing all eight contributors' chapters. In reality, she was the sole author of the Introduction - Entangled Landscapes: A new research paradigm. Similarly she was the sole author of Chapter 2, Fear and Pride: Sir William Chambers' Dissertation on Oriental Gardening, Burke's Sublime and China. In Chapter 4, Copperplates Controversy: Matteo Ripa's Thirty-six Views of Jehol and the Chinese Rites Controversy, she critically reframed into a visual analysis and completely rewrote Michele Fatica's earlier philological work on Matteo Ripa's manuscript Giornale. The naming of the second editor, Professor Andrea M Riemenschnitter on the cover and the Introduction was largely honorific according respect as her post-doctoral supervisor on her EU Marie-Curie post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Zurich (Asia and Europe Programme).
