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?

Additional information:
https://www.usherbrooke.ca/gnec/pj/call_for_papers_mdl_no_34_ev.pdf

Deadline for the proposal in English or in French (short format, 300-word): September 1st, 2025.
Deadline for the completed papers (between 25,000 and 60,000 characters in length), if proposal accepted: March 1st, 2026.

If you have any questions, please write to me or react to this pouet!

Avec Margot Mellet (@mmellet) nous avons lancé un appel à contributions pour le prochain numéro de la revue Mémoires du livre (https://www.erudit.org/fr/revues/memoires/) :

Créations, pratiques et engagements des collectifs éditoriaux

Résumé court :
Comment est-ce que les pratiques éditoriales de collectifs, au contact de la culture numérique, évoluent, changent ou se stabilisent ? Comment les collectifs permettent de faire naviguer l’édition entre déterminations des pratiques par les outils numériques et appropriation libre de ces outils ? Dans les reconfigurations des façons de faire de l’édition qu’ils proposent, à quel moment la chaîne de production se fige-t-elle et s’institue comme un nouvel ordre ?

Informations complètes :

Screaming into the void because now I have to figure out a whole new interface when my brain is struggling to process new information, thanks to certain billionaires; but any #bookstudies, #phd, #creativewriting folks around?
(Also just realised this has an edit function - another point against Twitter lol)

I’m just an editor, looking at a new platform, wondering if #aupresses folk, scholars in fields incl but not limited to #bookstudies, #printculture, #lgbtq studies/activism, African American studies, #americanstudies, #EnvironmentalStudies, #environmentalhistory, and other fields in which UMass Press publishes are… here somewhere?

@erik_kwakkel I loved your images from #manuscripts on the bird site- especially the comments got me really hooked on #medieval #bookstudies

#introduction Hi everyone! I’m a student of #bookhistory #bookstudies at WWU Münster. My focus at the moment is the intersection of Indigenous North American and EuroAmerican book history via 19th century newspapers. However, I’m a sucker for any and all things book history/book studies related. I am also an avid #TTRPG player and #boardgame geek. I’ve also managed to mix book studies in with my fascination of #realitytv. I’ll probably never figure out how to use this app but it’s fine.

@Bookish Hi Leah, thanks for this! Corinna Norrick-Rühl here, book and publishing historian, #SHARPist, bookshelf enthusiast #BookStudies #bookhistory #publishinghistory
