It features oiran beauty, Kabuki actors, erotic charms, scenery, flowers, birds, and social customs, representing the lifestyles and fashions of all classes of society at that time.

Every Ukiyo-e picture carries a wealth of Japanese folk culture codes. Only by unlocking this information in detail can we say that we truly understand Ukiyo-e and have a more accurate understanding of Japanese culture. ——Pan Li 浮世绘是流行于日本江户时代（1601-1867）、出自民间画工的版画艺术，被誉为“日本民俗的百科全书”，它以花魁美人、歌舞伎演员、春宫魅惑、民俗风景、花鸟虫鱼等社会风俗为主要题材，表现当时社会各阶层的生活百态和流行时尚。 中国浮世绘研究权威潘力清晰地讲述了浮世绘300年的兴衰史。鸟居派、歌川派等7大流派的来龙去脉，喜多川歌麿、葛饰北斋、歌川广重等31位大师的生平故事与艺术成就，《歌撰恋之部》《富岳三十六景》《名所江户百景》等200多幅经典作品的风格解析，都在书中得到了完美展现。 每一幅浮世绘都承载着丰富的日本民俗文化密码，只有巨细无遗地解锁这些信息，才能说是真正看懂浮世绘，也才能对日本文化有更准确的认识。——潘力

October 2015Cops
Roman
by Matt Burgess, Johann Christoph Maass
»Cops ist eines dieser Bücher, die süchtig machen und von denen man sich wünscht, sie würden nie enden.« Richard Price »Cops ist die mythenumwobene sechste Staffel von ›The Wire‹, nach der wir uns alle sehnen.« Charles Bock »Matt Burgess gehört zu diesen coolen, schlagfertigen Autoren wie Richard Price und Elmore Leonard, die eine vermeintlich einfache Krimihandlung in etwas ganz Besonderes verwandeln.« Carl Hiaasen Janice Itwaru arbeitet als Undercover-Cop in Queens, New York. Jeden Morgen geht sie als Junkie getarnt auf die Straße und versucht, vermeintliche Dealer dazu zu bringen, ihr Drogen zu verkaufen. Wenn sie Erfolg hat, schlagen ihre Kollegen zu. Hat sie keinen, machen ihre Vorgesetzten Druck. Hat sie richtig Pech, dann war’s der letzte Tag im Leben von Janice Itwaru. Diesen Job will niemand freiwillig machen. Doch wenn Janice achtzehn Monate durchhält, wartet eine Beförderung auf sie. Der Weg dahin ist hart: Die Kollegen sind die Pest, die Vorgesetzten stellen völlig unrealistische Zielvorgaben, und ständig drohen interne Ermittlungen gegen die Abteilung. Als die Fangquote erhöht wird und Janice immer seltener Erfolge vorzuweisen hat, geht sie volles Risiko – auch wenn sie befürchten muss, dass ein fieser Gangster, der noch eine Rechnung mit ihr offen hat, hinter ihr her ist.

The ArtsJune 2019Infinitely Close to Nature

The first book of Vo Trong Ngnia, “the architect who has changed Vietnam” commented by BBC and CNN. He is a hot candidate for Pritzker Architecture Prize, winner of over 15 international prizes including International Architecture Award and ARCASIA award, recognized worldwide on bamboo architecture and green architecture. “Sometimes we just ask the question: how many green areas, how many big trees, can we give back to our earth when we design the building?” ——Vo Trong Nghia Infinitely close to nature is the first book by Vo Trong Nghia, leading architect in bamboo architecture and green architecture, winner of more than 15 international awards including International Architecture Award, ARCASIA award, FuturArc Green leadership Award, etc. Through Vo’ s writings, interviews and cases, Infinitely Close to Nature records his classic practice in bamboo architecture, green architecture and low-cost houses. Vo believes that architecture should connect people with nature, instead of separating them off. He infuses highly “invasive” plants into the architecture space, creates “inner” space that is open or semi-open to nature, and builds green architecture with sustainable and local materials. By developing unique processing methods, he turns bamboo into “the steel of 21st century” and uses them to build strikingly grand bamboo architecture. In addition to commercial projects, Vo also pays attention to the residential condition of the low- er-income, designing low-cost houses which are inexpensive and easy to install, with their design also highly praised. The New York Times commented that he has brought Japanese simplicity to Southeastern Asia, CNN said he changed the skyline of Asia. With more than 60 high-res color pictures, Infinitely close to nature fully demonstrates the interior and exterior structure, details, inspirations and the aesthetical source of Vo’ s works.

The ArtsJanuary 2021Victorian touring actresses
Crossing boundaries and negotiating the cultural landscape
by Janice Norwood
Victorian touring actresses brings new attention to women's experience of working in nineteenth-century theatre by focusing on a diverse group of largely forgotten 'mid-tier' performers, rather than the usual celebrity figures. It examines how actresses responded to changing political, economic and social circumstances and how the women were themselves agents of change. Their histories reveal dynamic patterns of activity within the theatrical industry and expose its relationship to wider Victorian culture. With an innovative organisation mimicking the stages of an actress's life and career, the volume draws on new archival research and plentiful illustrations to examine the challenges and opportunities facing the women as they toured both within the UK and further afield in North America and Australasia. It will appeal to students and researchers in theatre and performance history, Victorian studies, gender studies and transatlantic studies.
