Abstract

Du scribe de l'Antiquité à la star médiatisée d'aujourd'hui, l'évolution du statut de l'auteur est considérable. Si le lien entre l'écrivain et son texte s'affirme à la Renaissance avec l'essor de l'imprimerie, il faut attendre le XVIIIe siècle pour qu'apparaisse l'idée de propriété intellectuelle, qui va nourrir les débats pendant plus de deux siècles. Mais c'est au siècle suivant que les auteurs, conscients de leurs intérêts communs, se lancent dans une lutte pour la reconnaissance de leurs droits qui les mobilisera jusqu'à nos jours. C'est aussi au XIXe siècle que, grâce au développement de la presse, les auteurs se découvrent livrés à la curiosité du public et apprennent à utiliser la publicité qu'elle leur offre. Histoires des idées, du livre et de la littérature se conjuguent ici pour restituer une histoire inédite et passionnante de la condition d'auteur.

Abstract

With the advent of new digital communication technologies, the end of print culture once again appears to be as inevitable to some recent commentators as it did to Marshall McLuhan. And just as print culture has so often been linked with the rise of modern industrial society, so the alleged demise of print under the onslaught of new media is often also correlated with the demise of modernity. This book charts the elements involved in such claims-print, culture, technology, history-through a method that examines the iconography of materials, marks and processes of print, and in this s

Abstract

For as long as he can remember, designer Stan Van Steendam has been interested in lettering on street facades. In the meantime, his fascination for typography, and for street typography in particular, has become something of an obsession. Street typography rarely gets a lot of attention and old lettering usually disappears when new developments take place. Nevertheless, it is still of significant value: facade lettering is part of the atmosphere and feeling of the neighbourhood, representing its history and the expansion of the city. It tells a unique and captivating story: a story which Stan Van Steendam has managed to capture in a series of over 80 photos. See Brussels through his eyes and discover hidden gems you might otherwise have passed by without a glance. These snapshots represent a captured moment, showing the transience of what was once carefully painted, set or carved. The photo aesthetics and the careful design are what make this book an ode to typography and a declaration of love to the city of Brussels.

Abstract

How literary and religious traffic between Bengal and Britain in the late 18th and early 19th centuries impelled a complex and contested cosmopolitan imperial culture.From Little London to Little Bengal traces the traffic in culture between Britain and India during the Romantic period. To some, Calcutta appeared to be a “Little London,” while in London itself an Indianized community of returned expatriates was emerging as “Little Bengal.” Circling between the two, this study reads British and Indian literary, religious, and historical sources alongside newspapers, panoramas, religious festivals, idols, and museum exhibitions. Together and apart, Britons and Bengalis waged a transcultural agon under the dynamic conditions of early nineteenth-century imperialism, struggling to claim cosmopolitan perspectives and, in the process, to define modernity.Daniel E. White shows how an ambivalent Protestant contact with Hindu devotion shaped understandings of the imperial mission for Britons and Indians during the period. Investigating global metaphors of circulation and mobility, communication and exchange, commerce and conquest, he follows the movements of people, ideas, books, art, and artifacts initiated by writers, publishers, educators, missionaries, travelers, and reformers. Along the way, he places luminaries like Romantic poet Robert Southey and Hindu reformer Rammohun Roy in dialogue with a fascinating array of lesser-known figures, from the Baptist missionaries of Serampore and the radical English journalist James Silk Buckingham to the mixed-race prodigy Henry Louis Vivian Derozio.In concert and in conflict, these cultural emissaries and activists articulated national and cosmopolitan perspectives that were more than reactions on the part of marginal groups to the metropolitan center of power and culture. The British Empire in India involved recursive transactions between the global East and West, channeling cultural, political, and religious formations that were simultaneously distinct and shared, local, national, and transnational.

Abstract

This work offers the first English-language survey of the book industry in Renaissance Italy. Whereas traditional accounts of the book in the Renaissance celebrate authors and literary achievement, this study examines the nuts and bolts of a rapidly expanding trade that built on existing economic practices while developing new mechanisms in response to political and religious realities. Approaching the book trade from the perspective of its publishers and booksellers, this archive-based account ranges across family ambitions and warehouse fires to publishers' petitions and convivial bookshop conversation. In the process it constructs a nuanced picture of trading networks, production, and the distribution and sale of printed books, a profitable but capricious commodity. Originally published in Italian as Il commercio librario nell’Italia del Rinascimento (Milan: Franco Angeli, 1998; second, revised edition, 2003), this present English translation has not only been updated but has also been deeply revised and augmented.
