Transformative Works & Cultures vol. 5: link-blogging!

[ahorbinski]

I can feel myself teetering on the abyss that yawns beneath all aca-bloggers, namely, not having enough bloody time. So while I get posts together on the symposium on Japanese politics I attended last week and the documentary Autumn Gem, which I saw today and which is very good, have some links from the current issue of Transformative Works and Cultures. Disclaimer: I know all three of these authors personally (which is why I'm linking to them).
