why online dialogues and chats should be published in the book form? what kind of publics you want to reach? How much is it a book fetish?

Yes, this.
What about the research catalogue?

Maybe one way of finding new pathways to expanded publishing, is addressing the notions of discursivity and traceability that do not rely solely on linguistic articulation in our logos-centric academic publishing domains. I think here of Ranciére’s distribution of the sensible and of thinking of publishing as a form of disruption of the very hegemonic academic publishing platforms of today. Perhaps another way of thinking of this ins in terms of transmedia formats in which, instead of each “medium” replicating a singular “discourse”, the “discourse” is indeed happening across different modalities that are always and already partial and “distributed”. In this sense, publishing is an ongoing form of relation among each medium/fragment — that can be either a verbal text, a live stream, a video, a happening, a jam, a performance. Again: this involves letting go of a logo-centric approach that relates more to symbols (documentations, traces) then actual discursive practices that occur in realtime.

Vague thought but: How does publishing based on the notion of resonance look like? (published VS publishing, expanded in time, keep it open for people to contribute to over time, unfinished…)

What about process? how can/is process discussed/visualized in expanded publishing?

what about temporality within publishing? e.g. changes throughout different editions?

and situatedness of ones practice, access to ressources, that influences a practice? how are we discussing/visualizing those? also thinking of nostalgia when publishing ages and decays?

is there something like dust that slowly covers publications not interacted with anymore? is there sonething like “paper aging” within the digital?

is it a book fetish or is it sometimes a question of accessibility In the sense of ‘using the appropriate language’? This format is easy to access, everyone knows we’re writing on it at the moment. Without research and quotes and silent work place. We’re just thinking along with the knowledges we gained through living, encountering and probably reading. Writing gives me space to take my time. And writing provides soace .

I think this is a good point; these traditional modes of writing as a slow process. What sorts of slowness does expanded publishing afford?

I also picked up on this characterization of the print book as fetish. It can be, of course, but for me it above all has a unique use value (especially for reading long texts, but not limited to that). And surely the INC also believes it has use value? Books published as precious fetishes look different.

although attention spans and media change, sensory experience of materials (book) or materials of work become 2dimensional if not published physically/experiencable. How can we solve that gap?

Also I wonder if we should try to publish in the polished social media style just to run after this, or rather spend time with the content ( I do not think this is only nostaligia)?

question to Tommaso and Giulia

Being both an educator and designer, and considering the importance of inclusivity and accessibility while lecturing, I’m wondering about the format of your presentation. Since we are here to produce and share knowledge, the way research is presented and accessed plays an important role.

Could you share a bit more about your method of presenting today? Why did you choose to present through multiple websites — including waiting for pages to load, tiny images and unreadable credits — rather than using a more structured format like a Keynote presentation? I’m curious to understand the intention behind this choice.

Reiterating the question here, But also curious about the method of publication of a thing about methods of publication

I come from China, where arbitrary censorship influences how people express their thoughts in public and even in private circles. How is it possible to publish to decrypt poetic/experimental writings and make transparent the process of censorship that shaped the choices of wording?

You mean, like a translaation app for self censored text?
