In the contemporary dynamic and turbulent economic environment being present and up to the minute becomes a necessity for almost any business. Social media is a communication infrastructure that allows and concomitantly sets the rules for information and message dissemination. Just as most organizations nowadays, publishing houses need to establish a strong online presence through posts on social media platforms. As they are both economic and cultural agents, the messages shared by publishers on social networks imply a higher degree of social responsibility and their content is particularly important. The present paper aims to explore how Romanian publishing houses are communicating with their current and potential customers on social platforms. The posts on various social media such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, etc. from the last two months of 2022 and the first two months of 2023 are investigated through the content analysis research technique. As the book industry is strongly linked to the concept of knowledge, the analysis is performed from the perspective of the Theory of Knowledge Fields. The findings of this study could prove useful to various actors involved in the book industry and other cultural organizations, as it provides insights into cultural promotion via social platforms practices. The subject is topical since book consumption is an essential part of a healthy cultural and social life of a country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research intends to perform a situation analysis of the Spanish publishing sector to see to what extent private publishing companies adequately interpret market signals and adapt to them. The study raises several questions for the Spanish publishing market: first, how is the price elasticity of the sale of copies?; second, what impact does the greater or lesser number of private publishers have on the sale of copies?; third, how does the sale of copies condition the evolution of the average print run?; and fourth, what impact does reading habit have on issue sales? The analysis carried out concludes: firstly, that the sale of copies is a price-elastic function to the price of books; second, that the greater the number of publishing agents, the higher the level of book sales; thirdly, those publishing companies adapt the average print runs per title in a period based on the copies sold on the market in the previous period and, finally, fourthly, the existence of a positive and direct relationship between the copy sales and the number of regular readers. Spanish publishers face digital transformation -and changes in their respective business models-, without losing sight of the variables studied that act as driving forces for their behavior and design their strategy in the market.

In the 1990s a research team of Polska Bibliografia Literacka [Polish Literary Bibliography] registered samizdat print material from the era 1976-1989. Kandziora, who was part of the team, now reflects on the new insights afforded by the project. The bibliographers demonstrated how samizdat printing evolved into a mature publishing market. He outlines the styles associated with different journals and generations contesting the system and proposes an appropriate periodisation. Kandziora also questions the image of underground publishing as a hermetic system and proposes to describe it both as a sphere of literary values and of works that transgress the division between official and underground publishing, but also as a space in which new, liminal genre forms emerged, destabilising the boundaries of traditional literariness.

Compared to the Habsburg era, when Yiddish writings were hardly printed in Bukovina - due to the centralized policy of Vienna and the openness towards integration and assimilation on the part of numerous Bukovinian Jews, as well as because of the status of Yiddish as the language of uneducated Jews - the Yiddish printing industry, as well as the Yiddish libraries didn't develop until the early 1920s, simultaneously with the emergence of national identity concepts. This paper is based on descriptive research and discusses the importance of these institutions in shaping trajectories of cultural, national and linguistic identities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper addresses the process of postcommunist denationalization by focusing on the privatization of cultural institutions, as it occurred in the case of major Romanian publishing houses in recent decades (Editura Politică/ Humanitas, Univers, Minerva, etc.). Our approach acknowledges the leading role of humanist intellectuals in launching and legitimizing devices of privatization immediately after 1989, a curious phenomenon which reasserted the larger pattern of literature-centrism developed in the former socialist cultures. These intellectuals; enthusiastic siding with principles of market capitalism, from their new positions of book publishers and cultural managers, paved the way for the rapid implementation of neoliberal policies. At the same time, leading the process of privatization helped these intellectual groups gain the upper hand in the public narrative on main ideological topics, such as the memory of communism, the interwar far right, and the path towards Westernization. Our analysis traces several empirical stages of this particular privatization of culture: 1) the legislative frame of denationalization and market liberalization; 2) the publishing policies and the promotion of certain book collections; 3) the dissemination of anticommunism that enabled publishing houses themselves to serve as political platforms. Overall, we aim to explain how this intellectual enterprise failed to ensure direct economic and cultural profits but was spectacularly successful in establishing a long-term recipe for neoliberal restructuring in several areas of society.

This paper highlights the characteristics that have created a fighter for freedom. The study analyses the main works of Brenan and their publishing houses. Brenan had fought against the authoritarianism of his father and social class to choose a life on his own. Thus, he decided to become a writer. Brenan was in Spain when the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936 and he had to return to England. The military uprising had made him committed to the Republican Cause. He analysed the background of this war in "The Spanish Labyrinth" (1943). Later, he wrote "The Literature of the Spanish People" (1951). Accordingly, Brenan's reputation as a Hispanist was established and was offered the "Alfonso XIII Chair of Spanish" at Oxford, but he refused the proposal. In 1949, Brenan toured Spain and searched Lorca's grave, then he penned "The Face of Spain" (1950). In 1953, despite his controversial publications, Brenan was allowed to settle in his villa in Málaga, Spain. Here, Brenan's myth was born in his autobiographical work "South from Granada" (1957): a young man who leaves the enslaving modern society and seeks his way in the mountains. "The Spanish Labyrinth" was translated into Spanish by Ruedo Ibérico (1962) and "The Literature of the Spanish People" by Losada (1958). Both publishing houses were owned by professionals and intellectuals sympathetic to the Republican Cause who were in exile. Brenan agrees with a pro-democracy and anti-communist Anglo-American discourse within the context of the Cold War and next to the Congress for Cultural Freedom. Brenan's books were banned in Spain, but they were a cry for freedom against Francoist censorship and seed for other researchers. Brenan came to represent a way of liberation. Brenan's fight is alive on the twenty-first century web. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many famous intellectuals, artists and writers stress various positive aspects of reading. Scientific research in medicine and psychology also prove the positive outcomes of reading. Therefore, it is not a surprise that books are highly valued by societies. Nevertheless, book reading seems to be a rarity in some societies. Although reading is beneficial, the book market is not flourishing in many countries, including Romania. The present paper sets a framework for developing marketing strategies that could be used by Romanian publishers to attract more readers. The methodology comprises two parts. A first section is dedicated to the Romanian book market. Investigating its specificity helps us pinpoint the references for successful marketing strategies. The second part is based on the analysis of the scarce literature on marketing in the book industry in order to identify key aspects and vulnerabilities of marketing strategy in this sector.

As they operate in an increasingly turbulent environment, modern organizations have to organize their activity in such a way that they meet the needs of their target audience as well, as quicker and as appropriate as possible, that they meet the consumers' demand and that they achieve a profitable and positively perceived existence. Alongside other categories of goods and services suppliers, publishing houses are organizations that operate in an intensely competitive market. Through their specifics, publishing houses target specific categories of audience, not only institutions and enterprises (such as: public and private libraries, educational institutions, other types of cultural institutions etc.), but also individuals. Consequently, publishing houses have to design, target and promote their offer so that they meet the demand for this specific type of cultural consumption in an appropriate manner. The purpose of this paper is to present the main techniques and tools used by publishing houses to implement communicational marketing activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the present article is to identify the social and cultural value of Public Relations in the Romanian book sector. Our approach overpasses the functionalist perspective of Public Relations as an organizational discipline and considers Public Relations as a discipline that institutionalizes relationships and discourses that are commonly practiced in the society by mutual and tacit agreement. We investigate the current communication practices used by three Romanian publishing houses in order to generate and to increase the symbolic value of the book. In order to analyze the uses and practices of Public Relations of generating literary sociability at the level of Romanian society, we analysed the communication management through owned new media (websites, blogs, Facebook) that three of the publishing houses in Romania have developed since their foundation. We analyzed the conversational competency in the online environment, using a complex methodology: starting from three Romanian publishing houses, selected on the basis of dimension, financial capacity and consumer perception of reputation, we have analyzed the content produced on the main owned-media channels used for public communication (websites, blogs, social media pages and accounts -- Facebook, Twitter) between June -- October 2014. We also analyzed the quality of interaction, by taking into account the number of positive reactions to a post, the number of replies and the number of comments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay focuses on the historical development and uniqueness of the pondok educational system in the northern region of peninsula Malaysia especially Seberang Perai. Unlike the more modern secular education, the pondok system does not guarantee employment for its graduates. Yet in the past it managed to gain much support from the local community and it became the preferred choice of the locals to educate their children. Despite its inaccessibility into the location, problems of transportation and the provision of very basic amenities, the pondok still managed to attract many students from the northern region, other parts of Malaya (later Malaysia) and outside the country. Some of the contributory factors identified for these phenomena were the strong local interest in religious knowledge, nationalism and the social standing of pondok teachers or Tok Guru within the local community as manifested in the writing of religious treatises which were either printed in Penang or Seberang Perai. This essay discusses the evolution of the pondok amidst a difficult environment and to explain how they managed to hold on until the present day. Attention is also directed towards the publication of religious treatises and their marketing in the Seberang Perai area and the connection of the publishing houses with local pondoks.

This introduction lays out the scholarly and methodological context in which to situate the contributions to this special issue. By combining a rigorous scrutiny of hitherto untapped archival sources with a re-examined application of Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of culture within the field of periodical studies and publishing history in Italy (1940s–50s), the studies illuminate the complex ways in which journals, periodical editors and the connected publishing houses negotiate cultural practice in a literary field increasingly dominated by the polarization of political discourse.

With the spread of Internet intermediaries, newspaper publishers have lost some ground with regard to their social and economic influence, but also in terms of public discourse. Hence, we assume that newspaper publishers might intend to influence knowledge orders regarding the position of intermediaries. Unlike the publishing houses, Internet intermediaries do not have similarly privileged access to traditional news production, to a still central tool to influence the knowledge order. Taking Google in Germany as a case study, we examine how the press discourse has constructed Google. We also investigate if the rules of this discourse can be found in Google's texts. Drawing on Michel Foucault, we analyse texts from four major German newspapers, and we look at Google's activities over the past 20 years. The results suggest that the press have focused on Google's power, thus constructing a negative image of the company. Google's statements followed the rules of this press discourse while constructing a divergent self-portrayal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
