| Abstract: | This special issue brings together a collection of articles that examine the publishing, dissemination and reception of texts in South Africa, an area more commonly known by the umbrella terms 'print culture' or 'history of the book'. The articles were first presented as papers at a seminar co-hosted by the University of Pretoria and Oxford Brookes University on 13 May 2013. Contributions: Reflections on the mission(s) to capture the 'reader' and 'book' in southern African art (Lize Kriel); The role of printed books in the dissemination of contemporary South African art and artists (Sarah Anne Hughes); Embroidered stories, remembered lives: the Mogalakwena Craft Art Development Foundation storybook project (Ria van der Merwe); 'Unique perspectives on South Africa': imagining South Africa through the Homebru book marketing campaign, 2002-2012 (Elizabeth le Roux); The 'South African Lady's Pictorial and Home Journal' as a subtle agent of change for British South African women's view of race relations in southern Africa (Isabella J. Venter); Books and publishing in the South African trade market: changing writers, changing themes (Jana Möller). Bibliogr., notes, ref., sum. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
