So proud to have an article out in this amazing special issue, which is exploring open access and (scholarly) publishing from a much-needed critical perspective (from different angles) that is often missing in mainstream discourses. This issue really is a crucial intervention. Congratulations to @Rebekka_Kie all the authors, editors, and reviewers, and the wider #CultureMachine community.

Really chuffed that the Experimental Publishing Compendium https://compendium.copim.ac.uk/ has been nominated for the @DHAwards 2023. I really like the model these awards follow, being predominantly an awareness raising activity focused on putting interesting DH resources in the spotlight. Please do vote for the Compendium in the ‘BEST DH TOOL OR SUITE OF TOOLS’ category here: http://dhawards.org/dhawards2023/voting/ (scroll to the bottom of the page to vote) but do also have a look at and vote for the other amazing resources nominated in the various categories.

The Experimental Publishing Compendium is a guide and reference for scholars, publishers, developers, librarians, and designers who want to challenge, push and redefine the shape, form and rationale of scholarly books. The compendium brings together tools, practices, and books to promote the publication of experimental scholarly works. #DH #DigitalHumanities #ExperimentalPublishing

On International Women’s Day I wanted to highlight the amazing work done by the open access feminist library and press @citapress

Have a look at their recently released downloadable reading companion: “The Divine Right of Learning” a guide to their open access collection An Immortal Book: Selected Writings by Sui Sin Far. “The Divine Right of Learning” is for any reader who comes across Sui Sin Far’s work and decides to learn more about the author and the context of her work. Whether you are a casual reader, a student working on a project, an educator preparing a lesson, a book club member looking for help guiding discussion, or just a person online looking for something interesting to skim.

The guide looks at the history of exclusionary policy targeting Chinese immigrants in the US and Canada, the concept of “the New Woman,” feminist themes in late 19th/early 20th century literature, and more!

Absolutely ridiculously expensive, but this does look great: 'The Edinburgh Companion to Women in Publishing, 1900–2020.' Edited by Nicola Wilson et al.

Women’s creative labour in publishing has often been overlooked. This book draws on dynamic new work in feminist book history and publishing studies to offer the first comparative collection exploring women’s diverse, deeply embedded work in modern publishing. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2024

Available for pre-order, with texts by Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi, Ryan Duffy, Dante Philp, Nick Thoburn, Jamila Squire & Seth Wheeler: ‘A Thousand Little Machines: A/traverso and the movement of ’77’
https://agitpress.net/books/p/a-thousand-little-machines

In 1977 youth revolts spectacular in their intensity, creativity and violence would send shockwaves throughout Italian society. These rebellions, belonging to the autonomia movement, were characterised by a mass refusal of wage-labour and powered by novel experiments in communication, in particular the printed word. Hundreds of revolutionary newspapers known as ‘movement sheets’ would circulate Italy during those years, acting as little machines to produce political subjectivity. This book contains the recollections of the autonomist militant, philosopher and media theorist Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi on autonomia and the tumultuous events of ’77, told through the pages of A/traverso, the Bolognese movement sheet he produced with others between 1975 - 1981.
