Contents
Books make revolutions, shape societies and alter knowledge. But how books manage to do this is an intricate history, especially of non-fiction. This lecture traces this history, beginning with humanism and the Reformation, continuing with the development of modern science in the 17th century, the Age of Enlightenment and Revolution, and ending with the development of a bourgeois society, which was and is a society of readers, in the 19th century. This history gets into manifold contradictions not only, but in the 20th century, when knowledge popularisation and political radicalisation go together. The emergence of the modern scientific society after World War II is hardly conceivable without the expansion of internationally active scientific publishers. Digitalisation is once again driving the globalisation of the knowledge society in the 21st century. The topic of the lecture is therefore the current situation of the non-fiction and science market and its future.Dates
