Tomoko Fuse's Origami Art
Tomoko Fuse has been one of the world's premier origami artists for more than 35 years. This beautifully photographed book examines the three-dimensional geometric designs she is famous for. Fuse, often referred to as "the queen of origami," discovered the art of folding paper at just seven years old. She has come a long way since then, having had her work highlighted in exhibitions around the world, including Paris Origami (Carrousel du Louvre, 1998), On Paper (Crafts Council London, 2002) and her solo show Yorokobi (Bauhaus Dessau, 2004). In addition to teaching, folding and writing, she also collaborated with designer Denis Guidone for Milan Design Week 2018 and was a featured artist in Nova's episode "The Origami Revolution" (February, 2017). An artistic anthology of her most impressive work, Tomoko Fuse's Origami Art can serve multiple purposes: as inspiration for an experienced origami folder; as a truly impressive coffee table book for the artistically-minded; or as a push for intermediate folders to try their hand at modular origami models.

Pink
This book on the nature of the colour pink makes its debut, featuring works by fifty international artists and young talents from the art academies in Weimar and Tokyo. It is the result of an unusual intercultural discourse, initiated by the artists and art professor Barbara Nemitz.
Literature, Modernity, and the Practice of Resistance
This book is a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary study which compares responses to modernity in the literary cultures of Japan and Taiwan, 1960-1990. Moving beyond the East-West framework that has traditionally dominated comparative enquiry, the volume sets out to explore contemporary East Asian literature on its own terms. As such, it belongs to the newly emerging area of inter-Asian cultural studies, but is the first full-length monograph to explore this field through the prism of literature. The book combines close readings of paradigmatic texts with in-depth analysis of the historical, social, and ideological contexts in which these works are situated, and explores the form and function of literary practice within the “miracle” societies of industrialized East Asia.

Rosa
»Jag blir gladare när jag tar på mig nåt starkt. Och rosa är väldigt starkt och glatt för mig. Jag tänker att även andra blir glada när man syns eller när man har nåt fint på sig.« Rosa är en färg som väcker känslor, alltifrån vällust och begär till avsky och hat. Men vad är det som gör färgen så laddad? Varför kan en man bära rosa skjorta utan att väcka uppmärksamhet i vissa sammanhang, men anses provocerande om han gör det i andra? Vad betyder rosa för unga feminister? Och varför är en del föräldrar tveksamma till att klä sina döttrar i rosa medan fl ickorna själva gärna frossar i färgen? I Rosa – den farliga färgen försöker Fanny Ambjörnsson ta reda på vad människor menar när de säger sig älska rosa, och vad de hatar och känner sig äcklade av. Genom att undersöka betydelsen av en rosa herrskjorta, den rosa prinsessfasen och rosa motstånd granskar hon vad färgen står för här och nu. Och vad människors attityder till rosa säger oss om vår samtid.
Consuming Bodies
