This zine series explores independent publishing by Asian practitioners, particularly under transcultural experience shaped by international migration. Through interviews with independent publishers, this zine explores the sites and relations of knowledge production, examining issues like survival tactics, operation, care, relearning, sociopolitical engagement, and activism. It is a contextual adaptation of Hannah Arendt’s definition of vita activa – labour, work, and action. As a means of knowledge and aesthetic production, publishing is both about making publication (artefacts) and making the public (relations). Together, they offer us a close look into how they navigate the Western cultural systems to build soft infrastructures for the incredibly diverse practices related to the Asian context. 本小誌系列探討亞人的獨立出版實踐，尤其關注國際移民經歷的塑造的跨文化體驗。 通過採訪獨立出版者，本小誌探討知識生產的場所與關聯，審視生意策略、作業、關懷、重新學習、社會和政治參與、行動主義等議題。這本小誌將漢那•阿倫特“積極生活” (勞動、工作、行動）的概念結合出版業。 作為知識與美學生產手段，出版業的目標既關於製造出版物，也關於塑造公眾。 本小誌讓我們近距离观察出版商是如何探索西方文化體系，为与亚洲背景相關的極其多元的實踐構建設施的。 Show more
