Abstract(s)
The present dissertation intends to offer an overview of the Portuguese printed independent edition in the digital context, namely the first two decades of the 21st Century. The proposed study aims to identify: who are the players and what are the strategies in the contemporary Portuguese creative production scene? From the hypothesis of which the digital context reshapes, restricts, and even suppresses classic tasks related to the production chain of printed matter, such as: the design and composition of types, editorial design, printing, binding, and distribution of copies. Thus, would it can be considered utopian the works of the current actors of the artistic printed? Based on these assumptions became necessary to investigate the meaning of the utopia, going to look for the originating work from Thomas More, 1516, and how this work, and its proposal, relates to the vanguard of the editorial design, particularly, Kelmscott Press, from William Morris. Therefore, from this historical preamble, this research looks to offer links among the artistic vanguards, and the book of the artistic, and the Portuguese auto-edition along of the 21th century. Finally, as well having as reference the fecund projects such as: Tipo.pt, and the Portuguese Small Press Yearbook, edited since 2013 by Catarina Figueiredo Cardoso and Isabel Baraona, the present work explores closely the current panorama of Portuguese independent edition, relating it to the creative origins of printed editorial design and the legacy of previous generations of Portuguese publishers, notably, Fernando Ribeiro de Mello (Afrodite) e Vitor Silva Tavares (& etc). The methodology approach consists in bibliographic revision and historical analysis, at the same time was applied interviews to contemporary characters of the independent printing in Portugal, five representative cases of the Portuguese small press were analysed: Associação Chili com Carne, Stolen Books, STET, O Homem do Saco and XYZ Books
