Description

Living glossary for a diffractive publishing practice is an ongoing and ever-changing attempt to introduce a diffractive methodology inside publishing practices, understanding publishing as the mere act of making public. It is organized as a container of words that are never fully defined, only annotated. Words become tools, concepts, resources, and shapes with properties that enhance new possibilities. In this glossary, they don’t close the publishing scenario to territory arts or design. Instead, they are porous and permeable to other spheres of action.

The glossary is seen as mutable, and the current state results from collective workshops where participants are invited to think and converse around its words and annotations. During the workshop, diffraction performs a conscious interconnection of practices beyond reflection.

From the technical side there is source pad were all annotations take place in a markdown format which is processed by a Python script that writes it as a website using Pandoc and then Js.
