WHICH ARTICLE

We have chosen to transcribe Francesca

Pasquali article on ‘The participatory turn in the

publishing industry’.

As a group we have decided to focus on one of Pasquali’s main debates

on the “death of books”

KEY CONCEPTS

‘THE DEATH OF BOOKS’

Publishing market has undergone major changes. If we compare what Is taking place with what happened in the early 1990’s - the first time the press began claiming the “death of books” following the diffusion of word processors and multimedia hypertext we must acknowledge that some fundamental changes are taking place.

In todays society the lifecycle of books are changing due to online retailers strategies, readers online conversations and social reading practices and their connection to Facebook, twitter and personal blogs.

Not only this but the status of books is changing: what we used to think of as the essential features of books (symbolically representing in their paper and ink within the whole publishing field) are now under question. E-books reveal that a book should not necessarily be a piece of linear printed writing but can in fact be downloaded within seconds from the internet and read on a digital device such as a kindle or Ipad.

TRANSCRIBE

We have decided as a group to transcribe our argument into a news article. This will take the form of a main news night presenter who will then pass over

to other members of the group who will act as theorists and present there side of the argument. The video will include comedy however get the argument and correct

points across at all times.
