To some extent, an exception here was a very extensive list of journals published by Theo van Doesburg in De Stijl in 1924T The list was still definitely not complete, but Van Doesburg’s ambition is clear not only to suggest that he and he only had the ultimate overview. Parading his worldwide contacts, comparable with the global map in Blok, he staged himself simultaneously as the ultimate constructivist authority by adding little crosses and/or squares to a selection of titles indicating, whether they were basically interesting or belonged to his constructivist pantheon.

By exception, maybe in response to the longlists and shortlists in other journals, Kassák published such a list once combined with a new chart that appeared in MA in 1924.* 31 32 Between his longIist of “received journals" and the shortlist presented as geometrical arranged chart again remarkable discrepancies are apparent.
