The tavern part in the collision of a triptych erotic Bathyscaphe  |
| Bathyscaphe designed in honor of the release of No. 2 of the namesake magazine |
"Finally a newspaper expensive and luxurious for people who do uninterested in the news! "
Thus
The self-proclaimed Bathyscaphe , journal heterogeneous, cosmopolitan and anachronistic that beat sales records around the world. we presented in the tavern there is little achievements of some crew members and free electrons orbiting around. This fall the magazine launched in Quebec, against all odds literary, his sixth issue, which was hailed by The Old Observer as the most essential achievements of the past decade for fans of curiosity. I am careful to reproduce the headlines defamatory unbridled Duck, whose tone is probably due to jealousy of a rival newspaper discovered in a double page devoted to his cousin in the order Anseriformes. The tavern has conducted the survey of primary interest, Benoît Chaput to try to learn more. BC: Before I answer I must clarify that the bathyscaphe is led by a group of four, editions
Only masters aboard or
Hermine Ortega, Antoine
Peuchmaurd , Alexander Sanchez
and myself. I can not answer questions in my own name: each promoter would probably have its own version of things, short stories vary considerably according prospects.
- Ed: By choosing such a name for a magazine, do you plan to avert the fate, assuming that he absolutely had to run there?
I would not say it like that. In fact, it seems to me that finding a name - whether for a magazine, a conspiracy or a familiar object - is possible during a group game full of charm where chance and free associations ideas have their say. In this case, Hermine Ortega is very quickly came up with this name with its dictionary definition which we were immediately seduced. This definition, found in sub-heading for each number is:
"Digital Living intended to drive monitors at great depths underwater" . We liked the idea of exploration in the area of culture. And our skiff was not afraid of being cast into confrontation because it was the bottom that was most at ease. It is true that our approach to culture is more toward the so-called "losers." Like everyone, we're not big things and not "specialists". It's as beings without qualities, "doctors in no way" that we like to observe and drift with the current submarines.

- As you read, it was regularly the troubling impression of dealing with a bunch of investigators who have a secular look almost naive on a minor issue, and endeavoring to consider of utmost importance, as these adventures of the subject addressing the sources of geese Craven.
This game is not worth the candle if the question "minor" after survey reveals surprising issues: like any good game, with minimal application and childish seriousness, it is possible to come to shake many certainties in the world matters "major". So this story sources
geese Cravan I had initially been somewhat intimidated by the fact that Jean-Yves
Bériou , the author of the chronicle "The Adventures of the subject," offers challenge of his inquiry as the very name of the publishing house that I lead. But discovering where it leads, I stayed speechless: from a drift on the words "Goose Craven," it really happens to touch the main lines of poetry: the principles of analogy, the genius of metamorphosis, the secret report of the words and the world. A look almost naive sometimes see clear through the most troubled waters.
- How The Bathyscaphe he born?
I always liked the little magazines. Fascinated by those of avant-garde but also by contemporary magazines such as Wildebeest
and
Mandrill around
Thierry Horguelin or
Hotel Marmoset of
Jimmy Gladiator. I had a great time to discover that Christian
Dotremont had created several, often a single number, with numbering perfectly ridiculous. But it was during a conversation with Antoine Peuchmaurd and Valerie Webber, his girlfriend, the idea of Bathyscaphe was born. The conversation revolved around sex. Valerie, experienced and much younger than me, had opinions on the subject that shocked me somewhat. It was both his field work and academic studies. As she is English, we thought it would be interesting to do a publication with a "sex column" where it could spread its expertise in their language. I considered then to have a chronic naive in response to hers and put together our different perspectives to light. I had read in a book about its history that the Revue Blanche
published chronicles and contradictory and the idea had really liked. This conversation was really the spark to start. Throughout the discussions the journal has taken a particular form: we kept the idea of a bilingual magazine, where everyone could speak their language without its text is translated. This is particularly important because Montreal is a city where we are by the two languages that are dominant in the crossroads between Europe and America. Course was added the idea of having correspondents on these continents around (New York, Toronto, Montreal, Liege, Paris, Brive, Marseille, Geneva).
- What is the common thread?
difficult question of all! The Bathyscaphe is primarily a journal of culture out of date. That is, we are interested in culture as a resource in our lives as wholes, certainly not as fresh product that should ensure the market. We talk about books, music, architecture, poetry, environments, movies etc ... that help us live or on the contrary, we suffocate. Everyone does it their own way, by a chronicle. The Bathyscaphe is not a journal of creative writing but it is true that sometimes the border is thin. And, paradoxically perhaps, we encourage the creation of our visual designers and photographers. In fact, The Bathyscaphe formed by the currents. It is often difficult to define but each issue looks at Bathyscaphe and like nothing else!
- What is the relationship between it and the Goose Craven?
can read in the bear's Bathyscaphe that the journal is published
"by Only editions masters on board in collaboration with Craven's Goose ". This means especially that I am responsible for the layout of the newspaper. I am the editor
geese Cravan and founding member of the committee Editorial Bathyscaphe. It is therefore extremely close, but the relationship stops there. In fact, the bathyscaphe is a financially and editorially independent
geese Cravan . But here, as elsewhere , borders are often blurred happily.

- Taking into account just the financial aspect of the business, how can we today have the audacity to launch a magazine?
must undoubtedly a joyous unconsciousness. The fact is that the quest for fuel to run the propeller is very difficult. Voluntarily operated without subsidies, no advertising, there are only subscriptions and direct sales to take us forward. To date we have managed to keep the price of newsstand sales at $ 5 for America and 5 euros for Europe. And subscriptions at $ 20 or 25 euros. That is barely enough to put the stamp on the envelope and we'll have to resolve to rise somewhat in price. But we believe in the value of the luxury of a submarine traveling in an envelope postmarked. For some, including us, life is only offered by the breaches of this kind belongs to the slow luxury submarine post.
