B#S Edizioni

B#S publishing (“B#S Edizioni” in italian) house was born as an official tool for developing and deepening the lines of literary research related to the legacies of ancient wars (told in Renaissance poetry), the modern ones (contemporary epic) and the visual art responsible of representing them (exhibition catalogue).

Built in four series, the new publishing house aims to propose a high-quality scientific publishing that enhances the product at all stages, from creation to dissemination.

Granato gathers writers’ insights on identity and cultural heritage. The series holds poetry, prose, reportages under an essential leitmotif: raising awareness about our present.

“Worthy of memory” but, by their very constitution, the exhibitions and the museum installations are volatile and ephemeral: the seriesMemorabilia is born in response to this, its purpose is to reintroduce through illustrated volumes the most significant paths within the contemporary artistic landscape.

The two dimensions of the printed book lose many of the possibilities of fruition of the concrete work: therefore the goal of the series is to work specifically on the graphic design of the volume to restore part of the richness that is lost and at the same time to offer a new perspective on the artwork that exalts new possibilities of consumption and reception. Captions and scolia complete the offer, giving a critical dimension of absolute importance.

Works of high impact on topics and subjects consistent with those of the B#Side War festival (the importance of memory, tolerance, respect for diversity, twentieth-century wars, Renaissance and Baroque culture, contemporary art) shall be preferred.

An historic series, “Ieri e oggi” collects international witnesses of conflicts from the twentieth century until the present. Since the First World War, the mother of all the modern wars and of many modern scriptures, the general meditation on the act of war changes, marked by no longer the history of politics but the history of man: “Ieri e oggi” intends to support this turn by proposing to the reader direct witnesses of historical events, in order to draw attention on the phenomena that are little known, because they are crushed inside a twilight zone by historiography and the media.

Through high quality scientific curatorship, the series aims to open new realms for historical research by encouraging new approaches and a research into less known phenomena, but also to propose formerly completed panoramic thanks to volumes of nonfiction to the market.

Concomitantly with the B#S festival, researches and critical-literary editions were published, in particular.
