new publication dates

The COVID pandemic has obviously wrought havoc on many fronts. The publication of academic books is no exception. Two of my forthcoming books have delayed publication dates as a result.

Artful Objects was initially scheduled to be published in early November. It was then pushed back to January 5, 2021 and I see now that it has been rescheduled for March 23, 2021. That one is good to go.

Skirmishes still says “Spring 2020” on the punctum website, though we’ve obviously missed that date. But I can report that the proofs are corrected and final editing is underway. Apparently there’s some chance the book might still appear before the end of 2020, though I can’t guarantee it. Fairly soon, at any rate.

The manuscript of Architecture and Objects is also finished, though I’ve been seeking feedback from knowledgeable people and will work on it a bit more. Still, I’d say that 2021 publication is a safe bet. The University of Minnesota Press is the publisher for this one, my first time doing anything with them.

ADDENDUM: Another is almost finished, which I forgot to mention in the original post. It’s a co-authored book with someone in another humanities/social sciences field. We’re going to finish it before shopping it, and I’ll leave it off the list of forthcoming works until we have a publisher. What I can say is that it has something to do with the topic of time.
