The Journal of Rejected Research
The Molesworth institute Journal of Rejected Research is an experimental publication falling under the category of disjunctive librarianship and engaging a wide range of approaches to the idea of the journal as a conceptual platform for exchange. All submissions must have been rejected at some point in time. Content of Volume One Issue One was rejected by the Iowa Prison Industries Graphic Arts Department. Content of Volume One Issue Two was collected via open call, through a popup publishing platform in the Quint Gallery restroom in La Jolla, California, from April 21 through July 14, 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words journal, rejected and/or research:
“What the Journal posits is not the tragic question, the Madmans question: Who am I?, but the comic question, the Bewildered Mans question: Am I? A comica comedian, thats what the Journal keeper is.”
—Roland Barthes (19151980)
“When an opinion has taken root in a democracy and established itself in the minds of the majority, it afterward persists by itself, needing no effort to maintain it since no one attacks it. Those who at first rejected it as false come in the end to adopt it as accepted, and even those who still at the bottom of their hearts oppose it keep their views to themselves, taking great care to avoid a dangerous and futile contest.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (18051859)
“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (19211990)
