Editorial stable Éditorail or "The Asylum why?"
Because we believe in the reality, but confident of his abilities when clutched in the matter. Because without imagination, there is nothing. Because depart is the refusal of the seat. Because we believe in science, even fictitious. Because the fantastic is rich in entertainment, but so empty when satellite from a lack of awareness of philosophical, political, eclectic, a sun that burns everything, even his own orbit. Because anticipation, before any form of dissent is essential to understanding. Because that's the reaction that comes rebirth. Because of the enormous potential vanguards falls increasingly into oblivion. Because Doubt and the deconstruction of all possible to set foot on new and old truths. Because the purity of thought is only possible through the abstraction of the unreal. Because the senior is more important than what we showed. Because for too long we have forgotten this place, still vast and unexplored, which is called Surreal. Because language is not reliable and it continues with the softening intellectual. Because in dissecting the literature, we reached the heart. Because at the sterility of the modern material, we must - to resist - still waving the fertile sky fantasy.
At first glance, the creation of a new literary magazine - or fanzine - combining fantasy and science fiction might seem rather banal to the growing affluence and the popularity of these kinds of imagination on the Quebec scene. At second sight, it was the same. And third view, it was quite different since reappeared these ghosts were so present during the twentieth century so far: the avant-garde. That is to say, the forms and means of deepening the life, language, thought, psyche, society, politics, and poetry. Many of these artistic movements reactionary born between human through the academy. Then we had the idea to put together different themes and hobbies who lived in these three directions: the propensity critical and futuristic science-fiction wonders and oddities of great concern and "cries of the spirit" and other stylistic deviations from the avant-garde.
With this bi-annual, we hope to set itself up as a forum for exchange of ideas and / or an asylum where madness can develop a tenacious and more than ever, logical.
