Fala-se de um tema, livros, com o qual a autora possui uma relação como artista, pesquisadora e editora. A fotografia e o livro de artista são relacionados sob três aspectos: a produção, a edição e a circulação. É uma proposição que traz uma leitura sobre livros ¿ e divide-se em: uma proposta de escrita, que se aproxima do ensaio literário para falar de livros bem como da escrita pessoal para abordar o contexto; uma proposta de pesquisa em arte atrelada às poéticas visuais, caracterizando a experiência da autora como uma artista que possui produção no tema e pretende interpretá-lo; uma proposta de livro, recôncavo, e suas etapas de produção, edição e circulação / Abstract: A report of the trajectory of an art investigation. The author speaks of a theme, books with which she relates as an artist, a researcher and an editor. The artist photography and book are related by three traits: production, editing, and promotion. It is a reading proposition of books ¿ and is divided in: (1) a writing proposal, which is similar to a literary essay to discuss books, and close to the personal writing to approach context; (2) a research proposal in arts linked to visual poetics and characterizing the author¿s experience as an artist that has other productions in this theme and intends to interpret it; (3) a recôncavo [deep cavity] book proposal, with its phases of production, edition and promotion / Mestrado / Artes Visuais / Mestra em Artes Visuais

"Impressed with the obvious quality of Peter Pauper Press publications, the author became interested in discovering the underlying philosophy of the Press, its origin and history, the types of books it publishes, and its contributions to the book world. Because the Peter Pauper Press is so personal a publishing house, it is not possible to write its history without writing also of Peter and Edna Beilenson, who publish, print, and design the Peter Pauper books"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "February, 1957." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Ruth H.

The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of selected textbook publishing personnel concerning the value of state level textbook adoption systems. The perceived value has been examined in relation to intents for state level textbook adoption systems as identified in an investigation by Tulley (1983). In addition, perceptions concerning appropriateness, importance, achievability, and accomplishment of those intents for state level textbook systems and the influence of state systems beyond textbook selection decisions were investigated. The method used for the collection of data was a survey instrument, a written questionnaire, developed especially for this study. The questionnaire was designed specifically for selected textbook publishing industry authors and editors of reading programs, and regional and local sales representatives with state level textbook adoption experience. Data were derived from responses to the questionnaire with frequency count for each alternative tabulated and percentages of respondents selecting each alternative calculated and presented according to total sample, publishing firm and role responsibility of the respondent in the publishing firm. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis and domain analysis conducted with written comments. The results of this study indicate that state systems are perceived as having considerable value. Eleven generalizations related to major strengths for state level adoption systems emerged during this study. In addition, respondents noted eight of these generalizations as appropriate, achievable, and actually being accomplished. The results of this study, however, did reveal some major weaknesses of state level adoption systems. State systems’ decisions were viewed by the respondents as having impact which goes beyond the individual state. / Ed. D.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The buying and reading patterns of book lovers have changed dramatically over the past decade. The effects of a shrinking reading market are far-reaching: tough(er) competition not only affects the profitability of the industry, but also places increasing pressure on sustainable growth over the long tenm. Hence the aim of this investigation: (0 identify publishing strategies that could counter these tendencie. .. - with reference to a study comparing the situation in the Netherlands and in South Africa. Michael E. Porter's model offers a useful framework for the critical assessment of international patterns in the publishing world. Changing client needs result in books competing all the more intensely with other forms of entertainment for disposable rands. However, in this struggle for survival the inherent value of books is being destroyed by too low profit margins. Porter's model also fits local tendencies, such as stiffer competition from overseas role players for whom geographical expansion to developing countries is the only way to attain and keep market share. An analysis of the Dutch industry presents three strategic choices: market domination, variety-based positioning or needs-based positioning. Within the context of the South African industry the conclusions of this study could find valuable applications, especially for the publishers in the NB group: • Market domination is not a viable strategy for a local publisher in South Africa. The competition offered by imported books (with a market share of 73%) is too strong. • Radical technological development demands a multi-media approach. Although the success of this strategy has not been adequately demonstrated, large-scale investment by new ventures in the Dutch industry underlines the necessity to investigate possibilities. • Although NB Publishers have lead the Afrikaans niche market with literature of high quality for decades, this segment is threatened by the increasingly important role of English, as well as the wide variety of world literature available in local bookshops. Moreover, profit from the Afrikaans niche market is being further eroded by foreign publishers establishing local imprints in South Africa and luring top writers. IT NB Publishers wish to maintain the lead in this market segment, they have to implement a strategy that not only guarantees quality, but manages to draw and keep the best writers and editors. Further hereto, specific actions need to be launched to develop the Afrikaans niche market. • In the relatively small South African market focus on future growth is essential. This given demands by implication a strategy that develops the underutilized potential of the black middle class. • All leading publishers in South Africa have a social responsibility to promote the reading, writing and availability of books, and strategies to this effect need to be coordinated with those of the Government. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Boekliefhebbers se koop- en leespatrone het in die afgelope dekade dramaties verander. Die gevolge wat 'n krimpende lesersmark inhou, is verreikend: Strawwe(r) mededinging beinvloed nie net die winsgewendheid van die industrie nie, maar plaas ook toenemend druk op langtermynvooruitsigte van volhoubare groei. Daarom wil hierdie ondersoek - aan die hand van 'n vergelykende studie tussen Nederland en Suid-Afrika - uitgewerstrategiee vind wat hierdie tendense kan teewerk. Michael E. Porter se model bied 'n handige raamwerk waarbinne internasionale patrone in die uitgewerswereld krities beskou kan word, o.m. klantbehoeftes wat verander sodat boeke al sterker moet meeding om besteebare rande naas ander vorme van vermaak, terwyl die inherente waarde van boeke in 'n stryd om oorlewing vernietig word deur te lae pryspunte. Ook plaaslike tendense pas binne hierdie model, byvoorbeeld strawwer mededinging van oorsese rolspelers vir wie geografiese uitbreiding na ontwikkelende lande die enigste manier is om markaandeel te wen en te behou. 'n Analise van die Nederlandse industrie bring drie strategiese keuses na vore: markdominansie, variteit-gebaseerde, of behoefte-gebaseerde posisionering. Gevolgtrekkings uit die ondersoek kan - binne die konteks van die Suid-Afrikaanse bedryfsomgewing - waardevolle toepassings vind, veral by die NB-Uitgewersgroep: • Markdominansie is geen strategiese koers vir 'n plaaslike uitgewer in Suid-Afrika nie. Die mededinging van ingevoerde boeke (met 'n markaandeel van 73%) is te sterk. • Ingrypende tegnologiese ontwikkelinge vereis 'n multi-mediale aanpak. Hoewel die sukses van hierdie strategiese keuse nog nie genoegsaam bewys is nie, beklemtoon grootskaalse beleggings deur nuwe ondernemings in die Nederlandse industrie die noodsaak om moontlikhede te ondersoek. • Alhoewel NB-Uitgewers vir dekades in die Afrikaanse nismark die markleier was met literatuur van hoë gehalte, word hierdie segment bedreig deur die rol van Engels wat toenemend belangriker word, asook die wye verskeidenheid van wereldliteratuur wat in plaaslike boekwinkels beskikbaar is. Daarby word wins uit die Afrikaanse nismark verder weggekalwe deurdat buitelandse uitgewers plaaslike drukname in Suid-Afrika vestig en topskrywers wegrokkel. lndien NB-Uitgewers steeds die voortou wil neern in hierdie marksegment, moet 'n strategie geimplementeer word wat nie net gehalte waarborg nie, maar ook topskrywers en redaksionele talent werf en behou. In aansluiting hierby moet spesifieke aksies geloods word om Afrikaans as nismark uit te bou. • In die relatief klein Suid-Afrikaanse mark is 'n gerigtheid op toekomstige groei noodsaaklik. By implikasie vra hierdie gegewe om 'n strategie waarin die onbenutte potensiaal van die swart middelklas ontgin kan word. • Alle leidende uitgewers in Suid-Afrika het 'n sosiale verantwoordelikheid om lees, skryf en die beskikbaarheid van boeke te bevorder, en hierdie strategiee behoort met die van die regering gekoordineer te word.

[pt] A dissertação apresenta o trabalho de designers-editores de livros, profissionais que possuem conhecimentos da área do Design e atuam no mercado editorial na função de editor. Evidencia o diferencial que a personagem do designer-editor traz ao contexto atual do mercado editorial e ao campo do Design. Diante das transformações ocorridas no entorno do universo editorial, profissionais da cadeia produtiva do livro e editores têm suas funções desafiadas e novos conhecimento são exigidos. Habilidades voltadas para a busca por inovação, criatividade e gestão da complexidade com que se estrutura o mercado são necessárias. O trabalho teve como objetivo identificar quais os conhecimento adquiridos a partir do DESIGN diferenciam o EDITOR na sua atuação no MERCADO como editor de livros. Para isso, foram estabelecidos os contextos da editoração do Brasil, aspectos históricos e culturais, delimitada a função do editor de livros no mercado contemporâneo e caracterizadas as competências e habilidades que capacitam o designer. A dissertação documenta três experiências editoriais: André Villas-Boas e a 2AB editora; Vitor Barreto e as editoras Novas ideias e 2AB; e Christiano Menezes e a DarkSide books. São analisadas as biografia dos três editores, o histórico de formação das editoras, as linhas editoriais propostas, os catálogos constituídos e as obras representativas editadas. E ao final, delimitadas as influências da experiência em Design sobre o exercício da função editorial. / [en] The dissertation presents the work of designers-book publishers, professionals who have knowledge of Design and act in the book publishing market as a publisher. It seeks to highlight the differential that the designer-book publisher brings to the current context of the book publishing market and the field of Design. Faced with the transformations that have occurred in the surroundings of the publishing world, professionals in the production chain of the book and publishers have their functions challenged and new knowledge is required. Skills aimed at the search for innovation, creativity and management of the complexity with which the market is structured are necessary. The work aims to identify which knowledge acquired from DESIGN differentiates the EDITOR in its work in the MARKET as a book publisher. For this, the research establishes the contexts of Brazilian publishing, historical and cultural aspects, delimits the function of the book publisher in the contemporary market and characterizes skills and abilities that enable the designer. The dissertation documents three editorial experiences: André Villas-Boas and 2AB editora; Vitor Barreto and the Novas Ideias and 2AB editora; and Christiano Menezes and DarkSide books. Then, it analyzes the biographies of the three editors, the history of publishing houses, the editorial lines, the catalogs and representative works. Finally, it delimits the influences of the experience in Design on the exercise of the editorial function.

"The rise of Protestantism in the seventeenth century was responsible for a deep gloom in the scanty literature which was produced for children during that period. Children were given instruction concerning religion and preparedness for death. But then, as now, children appropriated adult books that interested them. It is pleasant to remember that children at this time found enjoyment in three books not intended for them: Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels, and Pilgrim's Progress. It was into this scene that John Newbery came--he who was destined to be called The Father of Children's Literature. Publisher and writer of about two hundred children's books, he was the first man to realize that children had no stories of their own and to attempt to remedy that deficiency. Newbery brought to children pleasure and happiness in books that had been almost entirely lacking before his time and his contribution marks a milestone in the development of a special literature for children. In the following chapters an attempt has been made to draw together information concerning the life, character, and works of this unusual man and to evaluate his contribution to children's literature"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1950." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Louis Shores, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 34-35).
