Tabili of contents

Born out of the wish to perpetuate the table as a site that prolongs our knowledge becoming¹, Tabili of Contents introduces and expands our ongoing research* that lies at the heart of our works within Tabili. 

With Tabili of Contents we draw further on the Table of Contents as the main body of a piece of text that locates specific information to prepare its reader. The table is a place of live interactions and appurtenant exchange of knowledge and information. Collectively, we aim to navigate and contextualize these matters we initially touch upon around the table. 

We wish to preserve this first encounter of knowledge and information with the aid of Tabili of Contents and our transcripted publications. We are delighted to take it from (t)here. Welcome to our table. 

All our publications are available to purchase via e-mail for 9€ each.

1. Édouard Glissant, Poetics of Relation (1990) 

*We want to emphasize the expansive and significant ways of knowing that run through our research and our table. Our way of scientific research and intuitive understanding go hand in hand are thus considered to be interconnected. One does not exclude the other; both are crucial components to reach new conclusions.
