The course aims to present the fundamental characteristics of book production and circulation, the publishing industry, reading behaviour, and the effects of the digital revolution and to provide students with the tools for knowledge and understanding of the changes taking place in this field. The course consists of lectures, seminar meetings and case analyses.
The course is divided into three parts:
1) Trends in publishing, the book market and reading: from paper to digital. The Italian context is examined in particular: statistical data, social impact and socio-economic problems linked to the publishing sector. Professional figures in the publishing process. Current trends in publishing production. The transformation of cultural behaviour at the time of the net. The digital environment and the metamorphosis of writing/reading.
2) The history of Italian publishing with particular attention to the twentieth century and the years of the economic miracle.
3) Multidisciplinary approaches to the study of reading: theories of reception; neuroscience and cognitivism; the book between writing and reading: the work, the text and its physical manifestations.
