Inframince Journal: Interview (Pitch first)

Overview
Inframince Journal is a new online publication whose founding issue takes 'Fragmentation' as its organizing provocation. The editors frame fragmentation not merely as shattering but as a condition of asynchronous parts, unstable narratives, and oblique transformations—a state in which what was concealed becomes visible in the fissure. They seek writing that pluralizes the term, attending to what lies between split edges and how the fractal part gestures elsewhere. The call is for essays and conversations with writers, and the journal explicitly welcomes experimental interpretations of the theme. The journal operates without a submission fee and is based online, with no geographic restriction. Its name evokes Marcel Duchamp's concept of the inframince—the barely perceptible difference between two things—suggesting a curatorial interest in nuance, threshold, and the almost-imperceptible. For a founding issue, the editorial stakes are high: the selected work will define the journal's early aesthetic and intellectual character. Writers are asked to pitch first, a process that privileges conceptual clarity and fit over finished drafts. What the journal offers is publication in a nascent venue with a clearly articulated theoretical framework. There is no prize or monetary award indicated. The curatorial vision is one of rigorous play: fragmentation as method, as subject, and as formal strategy. The editors are looking for writing that does not merely describe fragmentation but enacts it—work that is porous, unstable, and alive to the middle. This is an opportunity for writers whose practice engages with discontinuity, collage, digital decay, memory, or any of the many registers in which the fragment appears.
