Inhalt

DER INTERNATIONALE BUCHMARKT / THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKMARKET – HOW CAN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NATIONAL BOOK MARKETS BE EXPLAINED AND HOW ARE THESE MARKETS CONNECTED ?

This *** English-language *** lecture, which focuses on aspects of both (selected) international book markets (i.e. ones outside Germany) in the plural and the one, international book market in the singular, asks centrally for explanations of obvious differences between different book markets and analyses institutions and processes that constitute the one international book market.

I will start illustrating the differences between different national book markets with the help of not least figures. In the search for the reasons for these differences, I will, among other things, illuminate the concept of national book cultures, including the respective book policies that are naturally connected with them.

As far as the connections and convergences of these national book markets in the direction of an international book market are concerned, I will cover economic and cultural globalisation, global publishing trends (not least in connection with digitisation), licensing relationships and international publishing conglomerates and strategies, but also, for example, book packaging for international markets and international co-editions.

In the course of the semester, I will present a few selected book markets in more detail and in their vivid national context (or have guest speakers presenting them, respectively) and then also look at other specific agents of internationalisation, e.g. international book fairs and associations (this partly also with the help of guest speakers) as well as supranational policy approaches (by e.g. UNESCO, EU.
