Another excellent journal title from MIT Press, October is at the forefront of art criticism and theory and focuses critical attention on the contemporary arts and their various contexts of interpretation: film, painting, music, media, photography, performance, sculpture, and literature. Examining relationships between the arts and their critical and social contexts, October addresses a broad range of readers. Original, innovative, provocative, each issue presents the best, most current texts by and about today’s artistic, intellectual, and critical vanguard. —from their website

Hokusai Manga
Due to a generous donation from the Oregon State Library, we now have 15 volumes of Hokusai Manga, the sketches of Katsushika Hokusai published between 1814 and 1878. Filled with beautiful landscapes, amazing creatures, and funny people, these hand printed books are an excellent addition to our collection. Some of the volumes are on display in the case in the library living room near the computer lab. The rest can be found in Special Collections. The library also has a recently published facsimile of many of the sketches from this set which you can check out. Here’s the call number: NC 1709 .K3 A4 2011.

Nka focuses on publishing critical work that examines the newly developing field of contemporary African and African Diaspora art within the modernist and postmodernist experience and therefore contributes significantly to the intellectual dialogue on world art and the discourse on internationalism and multiculturalism in the arts. Nka mainly includes scholarly articles, reviews (exhibits and books), interviews, and roundtable discussions. —from the publisher’s website
