Saul, here's one.<br><br>The Paris-based collective <a href="http://www.castillocorrales.fr/galerie/apropos.html">castillo/corrales</a>, working as <a href="http://www.castillocorrales.fr/section7/section7.html">Section 7 books</a>, has organized several forums to discuss publication, in the course of which some theoretical frameworks have been developed. One is the following definition, which I proposed last Fall when Section 7 convened a <a href="http://www.castillocorrales.fr/galerie/index.php/2009/01/22/26-un-mouvement-agreable-dans-les-idees">3-day colloquium</a> on publishing and distribution (at Montehermoso in Vitoria, Spain). <br>
<br>"Publication is not the production of books but the production of a public for whom those books have meaning. There is no pre-existing public. The public is created through deliberate, willful acts: the circulation
of texts, discussions and gatherings in physical space, and the
maintenance of a related digital commons. These construct a common
space of conversation, a public space, which beckons a public into
being. This is publication in its fullest sense." (podcast of that session <a href="http://suddenly.org/?p=683">here</a>.)<br><br>This Fall, Montehermoso is publishing texts that emerged from that gathering as <font size="2">UN AGREABLE MOUVEMENT DANS LES IDEES</font>, with contrinutions from Section 7, Kim West, <span class="sstitre">Melanie Gilligan, Will Holder, and Peio Aguirre</span>. <br>
<br>Though Section 7 and castillo/corrales have mostly produced actions (improvising a bookstore, selling art, making art) the writing of core group members François Piron and Boris Gobile might also be relevant here.<br>
