: Gil Hizi's careful ethnography on "soft skills" self-improvement workshops in China examines the pursuit and enactment of virtue, termed "capitalist virtuousness".

The book reveals how these workshops create heterotopian spaces where participants perform an idealized sense of self-worth and autonomy, even if these transformations remain short-lived and bounded.

With a deep appreciation of the moral turn, "Transient Becoming" offers insights into Chinese studies, affect studies, anthropology and sociology.

A big exhibition by Indonesian artist Eko Nugroho just opened at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute. A must-see! We're always grateful to him for letting us use one of his wayang figures on the cover Jan Mrazek's witty and literary meditation on Javanese wayang in a media age. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/18i248z5Zw/

: 🇯🇵 🇵🇭 "Making Home" by Mario I. Lopez is an ethnography that examines Japanese-Filipino marriages in contemporary Japan. It explores the often tense dynamics of these relationships, revealing how gendered Catholic practices, cultural negotiation, and the politics of belonging shape everyday life.

The book is the culmination of Lopez's research in Northern Kyushu over the course of 15 years. Centering religious practices within migration studies, it overflows with insights into the evolving landscape of transnational families in Japan.

: 📚 "Print Passages" provides the first in-depth history of Indonesian print culture. It addresses practical and sociopolitical questions alike – from how types were set, and how print and book businesses operated, to how printed media served as both an instrument of colonial control and a vehicle for resistance.

On 28 August 2026, join us for a free virtual book launch and discussion, featuring author of Print Passages, Lisa Kuitert. She will be joined by four fellow historians and book studies experts to share fresh insights from the release and discuss its impact on the wider field. This event is co-organised with ADAKSI Indonesia.

Details:
• Fri 28 Aug 2026
• 7PM-9PM UTC+7 (Western Indonesia Time) / 2PM-4PM Central European Time
