Permeable Glossary for a Living Publishing Practice

From creating, designing and conceptualising to filtering, circulating and amplifying, publishing practices involve different processes and matters. Even though there are multiple theories and authors that approach each of them in a particular way, I propose to make a pause on defining them individually and focus on possible entanglements. Not to find a generalized idea of publishing but to see it as a complex and interwoven materiality.

The current state of the glossary was made during different workshop sessions were practitioners are invited to question, reflect and diffract on the current publishing practice. Based on the previous state of the glossary, this sessions are called Rumination Sessions as a performance of multiple digestion. The participants added new entries, annotated on previous ones, highlighted snippets of it, bring up questions. The process aims to re-think and create collectively every word definition as a layering of annotations. Unlike traditional glossaries, in this glossary words are open to interpretation, expansion and mostly transformation.
