Résumé:In 1968, the magazine Chorus was founded by a group of poets (described as the ‘new realists’) and visual artists, united by the leitmotiv of ‘deciphering the language of everyday reality’. The means used by the magazine to establish a choral ‘editorial enunciation’ are analysed (layouts and covers, choice of page layouts, de-auctorialization processes favouring editing of anonymised texts): the way in which textual and visual contributions converge to express the same observation, the saturation of images in urban space. The present article is also based on Monsieur Bloom, magazine created and directed by Franck Venaille in 1981; he places orders with authors and visual artists, and showcases the material and concrete dimension of the writer’s work (manuscripts and typescripts, photographs, postcards). The continuous pagination of the six issues of Monsieur Bloom brings together a community of voices around Venaille’s conception of writing, whose desire is to blur differences of style through the idea of a polyphonic narrative. These two publishing adventures attest to the fact that the idea of the journal as anthology has been surpassed, and illustrate the potential of the journal-object when it finds itself at the crossroads of different aesthetic regimes.
