Today (19 February) I’ll give a keynote lecture about “Tactical Publishing” during the Paper Bonds conference at CEFRES - Centre français de recherche en sciences sociales in Prague. Paper Bonds is about “how self-made books and non-commercial bookmaking practices can foster personal connections, shape identities and build communities across Europe and the Middle East”. Looking forward to listen to leading researchers Hélène Martinelli, Giedrė Šabasevičiūtė and Ali Al-Moussaoui.
