With Margot Mellet ( @mmellet) we have launched a call for propositions for the next issue of Studies in Book Culture (https://www.erudit.org/en/journals/memoires/):
Publishing Collectives: Creations, practices, engagements
Short abstract:
How do the publishing practices of these collectives evolve, change, or stabilize as they come into contact with digital culture? How do collectives steer publishing in navigating between the determination of practices through digital tools and the free appropriation of those tools? Amidst the various reconfigurations of the ways of doing publishing that collectives put forward, can we identify the moment at which a specific chain of production becomes established as the new paradigm?
