ARCHE
Welcome Note
I admit it: Arche is a bit of a pun. On the one hand, it means “First Principle” in Greek and was the name of my undergraduate philosophy journal. On the other hand, it can be read as a truncated “Arche-ology”, which is, of course, the goal of Prismatica. Arche, then, represents the first principle of Prismatica, which is social and cultural arch(a)eology. Arche also serves as an introduction to the greater literary pursuit, Encyclopedia Prismatica, which features far more detailed essays, stories, poems, and art pieces.
Arche is not without import though; among shorter articles and general updates, the weekly newsletter will also feature two recurring columns—Composer of the Week and Artist of the Week—and contributions from readers and contributors to ENPRI. This is a space which, while less academic and rigorous as the journal, is more social, communal, and investigative. Far less editorial work goes into articles published in Arche (though standards still exist), and there is no publication process or submission workflow. If you have something to contribute to the Prismatica community, simply send it via email and see it uploaded in the following newsletter. With rare exceptions, any piece can find its way into the digital walls of Arche.
