Revenance is dedicated to the forgotten or untold histories of 19th Century avant-garde and dissenting countercultures. It promotes historiography practiced as game, as activism, as trans-generational collaboration, as communal memory, which running athwart the academic, refuses to describe history as finished, and does not stand apart to observe its object from a distance, in the posture of false 'objectivity' which Power always assumes. Instead: a committed historiography, which does not stand outside the stream of time or apart from its object: intellectual and precise, yet ludic and multi-form, one moment manifest as an essay, the next as a poem. A historiography created within the utopian fringe, and for the same community, responsive to our changing conditions, needs, and desires. A historiography that we take personally, merging imperceptibly into experiments in daily life, social praxis, and thought. Volume I collects the first five issues of the journal, from 2016-18.
