Lovely to hear from you, Christine.

I am well: moved to the country with my pregnant partner away from the woes of the city :)

I have lots of news:

While waiting for the final and essential submissions to the third volume (by Nkiru Nzegwu, Sheila Lintott and Rrose), I've started putting the collection together. All three volumes will appear consecutively in the first half of 2021. The first will open up with canonical topics presented in fresh ways, and some stimulating interruptions, like the concluding satire - "Socrates Inc." - exposing the corporate spirit of the contemporary academy. The second volume will feature contemporary problems, challenges and perspectives, and emerging issues. The third volume is culturally most disruptive and focuses on futuristic/avant-garde/immortal topics in aesthetic theory and practice. Your contribution will go into the second volume. All contents will be freely (and creatively) available on the publisher's website (Melbourne-based Mont Publishing), and hard copies will be affordable, and available in pulp fiction format, i.e. pulp aesthetics.

A full citation for your valuable contribution is:

2021. Aesthetic Literacy: a book for everyone. vol. 2/3, forthcoming. Melbourne: Mont Publishing.

Hope all is well with you,

Valery
