Experimental Publishing \u2013 Critique, Intervention, And Speculation<\/h2>\n

In 2019 and 2020, the Centre for Postdigital Cultures<\/a> (CPC)\u00a0will be hosting a series of symposia\u00a0exploring contemporary approaches to experimental publishing.\u00a0Over the course of the series, we will ask questions about the role and nature of experimentation in publishing, about ways in which experimental publishing has been formulated and performed in the past, and ways in which it shapes our publishing imaginaries at present. This series aims to conceptualise and map what experimental publishing is or can be and to think through what lies behind our aims and motivations to experiment\u00a0through\u00a0<\/em>publishing. As such, it forms the first activity within the CPC\u2019s new\u00a0Post-Publishing programme<\/a>, an initiative committed to exploring iterative and processual forms of publishing and their role in reconceptualising publishing as an integral part of the research and writing process, i.e. as that which inherently shapes it.<\/p>\n
