{"product_id":"reading-books-and-prints-as-evanghelia-stead-9783319538310","title":"Reading Books and Prints as Cultural Objects","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book contributes significantly to book, image and media studies from an interdisciplinary, comparative point of view. Its broad perspective spans medieval manuscripts to e-readers. Inventive methodology offers numerous insights into visual, manuscript and print culture: material objects relate to meaning and reading processes; images and texts are examined in varied associations; the symbolic, representational and cultural agency of books and prints is brought forward. \u003c\/p\u003e An introduction substantiates methods and approaches, ten chapters follow along media lines: from manuscripts to prints, printed books, and e-readers. Eleven contributors from six countries challenge the idea of a unified field, revealing the role of books and prints in transformation and circulation between varying cultural trends, 'high' and 'low'. Mostly Europe-based, the collection offers book and print professionals, academics and graduates, models for future research, imaginatively combining material culture with archival data, cultural and reading theories with historical patterns. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Evanghelia Stead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319538314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319538310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Evanghelia Stead","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44181362213119,"sku":"9783319538310","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31bf17b5-31de-4013-b485-1c770a923cb8.jpg?v=1690260039","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-books-and-prints-as-evanghelia-stead-9783319538310","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
