A conversation with Maureen Meister about her new book

Arts and Crafts Architecture across America

Around when the second season of “Arcane” was coming out I was really feeling the emotional dynamics between Jinx and Vi again. My past song “Cast a Villain” I actually thought fit a lot of Jinx’s experience and saw a unique opportunity to make an uplifting part 2 to the character in that darker song with inspiration from that dynamic. To do that I wrote the story as a duet and brought back some of my favorite vocalists. Quite different from a lot of what I’ve made but I love how it turned out and I hope you do too!

THE TRANSPACIFIC MIDDLE

Gregory Hargreaves interviews Sunny Xiang about her book project “The Transpacific Middle,” in support of which, Xiang, an assistant professor at Yale University, received an exploratory grant from the Hagley Center for the History of Business, Technology, & Society.

In “The Transpacific Middle,” Xiang discusses her research on the culture of the American Cold War in Asia through the lens of ephemeral literature, including fashion magazines, pulp fiction, & advertisements. In so doing, Professor Xiang raises methodological questions about the nature of evidence, investigation, and the archive itself.
