When the printmaking rollers spin, what is going through the minds of those operating the rollers?
As life itself is a political endeavor and the editing process a form of activism, self-taught publishers find themselves treading a narrow path, much like a flame flickering in the darkness of the night. Although they may not always be in sync with the zeitgeist, they are, nonetheless, significant undercurrents in forming communities, experimenting, and connecting with others./Despite being out of step with the times, they invariably leave an indelible mark.
Our forum cordially invites self-publishers and researchers from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China, to engage in a comprehensive review of the historical paths of self-publishing. Our primary focus will be on the affective structure, changes in technological infrastructures, and historical events that have co-configured self-publishing practices. Our discussions will transform the scattered footprints into a cohesive map and create historical dialogues and mutual reference for self-publishing practices.
As the printers roar to life once again, we urge you to take a backward glance, flip through the zines, and formulate knowledge alternatively.
