R. Klanten, A. Mollard, M. Hubner - Behind the Zines: Self-publishing Culture

Die Gestalten Verlag, ISBN-13: 978-3899553369, 240 pages, 2011, English If you're stuck with the concept of zines as a product of punk, you'd better check this book and learn how "self-publishing" in print has evolved. A book about magazines has always been a kind of celebration, turning the issues of the "expiring" magazines into history in the pages of a (non-expiring) book. But even more important than the many visuals here are the inspiring interviews that have been ... [ Continue ]

Marshall McLuhan, W. Terrence Gordon - Counterblast: 1954 Facsimile

Gingko Press, Inc, English, ISBN-13: 978-1584234524, 32 pages
McLuhan "zine"?!? This must be the first reaction once exposed to Counterblast. In the early golden era of the mimeograph, which also lead to a wave of science fiction zines in the U.S., the visionary theorist was already experimenting in communicating his own sharp and enlightening ideas. In the year of the McLuhan centennial, Transmediale festival has cooperated with Gingko Press to reprint a facsimile ... [ Continue ]

Nicola Mullenger, Annette Wolfsberger, Cultural Bloggers Interviewed,  LabforCulture,  English,  2010,  96 pages,  ISBN-13: 978-1906496500, cultural_bloggers.jpg

LabforCulture,  English,  2010,  96 pages,  ISBN-13: 978-1906496500
The two editors of this book define blogging as a "cultural seismograph" - a fascinating definition, looking at the regular activity of cultural blogging not as a constant production of quality content, but as a pulsating generator of stimuli, able to trigger reactions and events just with the power of being published online (and there's an interesting similarity with what the international zine community ...

The persistance of paper by Alessandro Ludovico

The persistance of paper, Alessandro Ludovico, persistence_of_paper.jpg

Paper publishing will never be the same again. It is deeply affected by a dual contradictory need. On one hand, real-time updating is pervading the printed page space with various technologies, and on the opposite, the need for something reliable and not dependent on the lack of tcp/ip waves or ...
