What Do Books Do? Politics and Materiality of Communication

Original language description

The conference focuses on several seminal topics in modern Book Studies. The topic is ideology and politics in books, but in its physical form, not in the content. We do not discuss the „political books“ but to investigate how books – a. e. the physical thing itself, with its various forms and properties – carry, effect and mediate or bring about political and ideological meanings, how they do politics, how they intersect and interact with ideological values and the political aspects of culture and society. The condition of such an idea is the acknowledgement of materiality, and the conviction that it’s not only us who do things with things, but that things actually do things with us too – they have effects on us and there is a constant.
