About
Mémoires du livre – Studies in Book Culture is a bilingual, open-access journal dedicated to the study of the book in all its forms, including rare books, periodicals, and ebooks. The journal is interested in everything concerning the past, present and future of the book: agents and institutions in the chain of production, materialities and contents, practices and uses. It is interested in the power that operates within the world of the book as well as in the power that books have. Mémoires du livre – Studies in Book Culture strives to shed light on the whole book culture, from the production to the reception of books: every link in the chain is an object of study, from author to reader, including editor, distributor, translator, bookseller, and librarian. Resolutely interdisciplinary (history, literary studies, economics, sociology, etc.), the journal is equally open to the study of identities – by gender, culture, social group – as they express themselves in the history of the book.
