The project explores self-made books and private bookmaking practices in contemporary Europe and the Middle East, focusing on their material, symbolic and social dimensions. Adopting a genealogical perspective, it examines how non-commercial publishing and book production shape relationships, express identity and responds to political and technological change. Drawing from the disciplines of anthropology, book history and sociology of literature, the project aims to reappraise the social significance of the print book in the era of digital publishing.
A key-note lecture Tactical Publishing, Using Senses, Software, and Archives in the Twenty-First Century will be delivered by Alessandro LUDOVICO (University of Southampton)
