Zgriptor is an independent journal exploring the intersections between material and digital cultures. It aims to promote discussion around themes of time, labour, technology, community action, and communication - unpacking the em(body)ment inherent in all of these topics. Dedicated to supporting the work of emerging writers and artists, the journal is published on a rolling basis online, and publishes a print edition once a year. Born out of a desire to make academic writing and criticism accessible, the journal hopes to offer space for experimental writing.
