people interested in legal aesthetics -- an often ill-defined subject -- might like Christian Kock's new book, A Rhetoric of Aesthetic Power: Moving Forms link.springer.com/book/10.1007.... it does not focus on law in particular, but much of what he says may be useful for scholars in that area.

My book, Fiction on the Page in Nineteenth-Century Magazines, is out now with Oxford University Press! academic.oup.com/book/58989 It’s a book about page fillers, product placement, and strange hybrid fiction. It asks how the page of the magazine became a spur for new, odd genres.

A privilege of being Arts Editor of @law-and-humanities.bsky.social is seeing connections between arts pieces; our 1st Issue of 2025 will include reviews of ballet Ruination directed by Ben Duke & the novel Prima Facie by Suzie Millar & for me these speak to each other…
