The Blue Notebook: Vol16#1

Abstract

This output (The Blue Notebook Vol 16 #1 ) extends Mosely’s research outputs from “abbe 2020”, “abbe 2017” & “abbe 2015”. Mosely selected papers delivered at abbe 2020 and co-ordinated the blind peer reviewing of them, approved papers were then professionally edited and submitted for blind refereeing and publication in the journal The Blue Notebook. The Blue Notebook has emerged as the leading journal within in the field of artists books and holds a broad base of subscribers and readers across the globe. This volume of the journal extends the international representation of five Australian artists and writers contributing to the field of artists books (and of print culture).

This outcome continues to address the call from scholars in the field to advance the critical nature of the field with a developing critical terminology and corresponding discourse. The abbe events were established to contribute to this call and abbe 2020 and the subsequent publication of papers delivered at the conference extend Mosely’s contribution to the field. Five articles were published in Volume 16 #1.
