*Volume 1, Issue 1 – Silentium Fractum* focuses on the misuse of process: how litigation, regulatory procedure, and institutional policy are used to conceal wrongdoing and suppress dissent. The articles in this issue trace the contours of procedural violence, but also explore the tactical spaces within which truth may still be documented, preserved, and eventually heard.
Together, these articles form an indictment of how systems designed for justice are repurposed to protect power. These articles also offer counter-possibilities: that occupation of the system, with documentation, narration, and resistance within formal processes, has the potential to crack illusions of neutrality.
Our motto, nulli di, nulli domini, declares “no gods, no masters.” We believe systems of power are not inevitable. These systems are constructed — and anything constructed can be deconstructed.
