The Global Histories of Books: Methods and Practices de Elleke Boehmer

The Global Histories of Books: Methods and Practices: New Directions in Book History

Editat de Elleke Boehmer, Rouven Kunstmann, Priyasha Mukhopadhyay, Asha Rogers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 aug 2017
This book is an edited volume of essays that showcases how books played a crucial role in making and materialising histories of travel, scientific exchanges, translation, and global markets from the late-eighteenth century to the present. While existing book historical practice is overly dependent on models of the local and the national, we suggest that approaching the book as a cross-region, travelling – and therefore global- object offers new approaches and methodologies for a study in global perspective. By thus studying the book in its transnational and inter-imperial, textual, inter-textual and material dimensions, this collection will highlight its key role in making possible a global imagination, shaped by networks of print material, readers, publishers and translators.

Recenzii

“This rich and diverse collection of essays certainly proves a valuable addition to the growing scholarship on the global histories and transnational circulation of books. It also provides professors with fascinating case studies to examine with their students.” (Cécile Cottenet, Comparativ -Zeitschrift für Globalgeschichte und vergleichende Gesellschaftsforschung, Vol. 29 (3), 2019)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“In this smart, wide-ranging study of texts on the move, the global history of the book becomes a counter-history of the nation. Rather than pitting one against the other, contributors show how entangled these spheres are – and how key print culture is to illuminating points of convergence and divergence. Moving skillfully between dog-eared volumes and the booksellers, readers and marketplaces that made them, this collection brims with insights about the lives of books and their role not simply in reflecting global relations but in creating them -- with every turn of the page.” — Antoinette M. Burton, Professor of History, University of Illinois, USA, and co-author with Isabel Hofmeyr of Ten Books that Shaped the British Empire.
