Introduction

The purpose of this thesis is to unpack and explore separately each component of the project. In the first chapter, I will reflect on the glossary component, by thinking about what is a glossary beyond a list of words, and what are the potentialities of using such a structure for a publication; in the second chapter, I will explain the system component, by describing how this system of words looks like and why it suggests seeing the publishing practice as a complex system; in the third chapter, I will attempt to exemplify the experiment component by threading connections among the words by speculating about outcomes and giving examples; in the fourth chapter, I will state the manifesto component of the project by stating the publishing manifesto as a tool to reflect about the practice.
