PMJS Publication Announcement: September 2021

[Tariq Sheikh]

Dear colleagues,

We are excited to bring you our first monthly publication announcement. This is a monthly bulletin compiling information on the latest publications by PMJS members. All details below were submitted through the PMJS Publication Announcements online form.

1. Publication type: Book

Title: Picturing the Floating World: Ukiyo-e in Context

Author: Julie Nelson Davis

Affiliation: Professor, History of Art, University of Pennsylvania

Summary: Picturing the Floating World: Ukiyo-e in Context is designed as a critical yet accessible analysis of ukiyo-e, “the pictures of the floating world,” and reconsiders the genre as under construction in its own time and into the present. Opening with an analysis of period documents to establish the terms of appraisal brought to ukiyo-e in late eighteenth-century Japan, the book tracks how artistic practice and commercial enterprise were intertwined throughout ukiyo-e’s history, from its earliest imagery through the twentieth century.

Release Date: August 31, 2021

Thank you for the update; I really like this format. It may be a bit more impersonal, but that can also be a good thing since people often seem a little sheepish or uneasy about promoting their own books and articles.

Sincerely,

-Chris Kern, Auburn University

Many thanks to Abby and Tariq for the first publication bulletin! 

As Chris said, we hope this is a great way to offer an alternative format to those who do not wish to announce their work personally. We of course welcome folks to continue to post separate announcements if that is their preferred method and also to submit new work by others that they hope to see more recognition (but who may not submit the form or email themselves). Reminders to post to the publications form will be sent before the deadline of the 20th each month.

All the best,

Paula
