Collecting and collectivity: though sharing a common root, no
two words seem so different. If the act of collecting is a source of
individuation from which emanates selfhood, then collectivity
opens a field for self-abnegation and group performance.
Inquiries into the relationship between collecting and collectivity
are especially relevant at a time when the avant-garde has grown
suspect of the purities of Marxism while at the same time
become more firmly entrenched in the machinations of the market.
Collecting has become not only a practice at the service of
the individual collector; it has also evolved to become a practice
of community building. We invite submissions from all disci-
plines—theorists, historians, and artists working in any media—
that confront and query the dialectic of collecting and collectivity,
acquisition and community.
