Born in Marseille in 2019, Phylactère* unfolds around an aperiodic printed journal conceived as a space for research, creation, and encounters. It aims to explore the relationship between orality and writing, performance, and publication.
The journal transcribes performances with plural and subjective visions; giving voice to amateurs, artists, designers and thinkers alike. It focuses on the before and after of a performance, and gathers their multiple readings and forms such as transcriptions, scripts, protocols, drawings, poems, reports, — revealing the singularities of verbal forms through expressive typography and layout. Each contribution is thus translated differently according to its nature and specificities, giving it a new autonomous, and printed status. According to us, writing, signs, typography, become bodies that allow for the multiplication of meanings and identities. By giving voice to a diversity of often underrepresented and marginalised voices, Phylactère also embodies an intersectional feminist approach. In echoes of Sam Bourcier's terms, we move towards a "living archive" model: an archive close to the body, gestures, affects, and emotions. The journal is thus a hub for experiments and documentation around new inclusive imaginaries.
Phylactère is also organising readings, performances and workshops that are then transcribed in the journal. By gathering a moving community, the journal becomes a meeting place: the point of intersection between an event and its published format. This porosity embodies our position, based on a desire to hybridise practices between artists, graphic designers, editors and initiators of encounters.
