Previous issue date: 2015 / Resumo: Relato de um percurso de pesquisa em arte. 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

The biography of a press: A study of the philosophy, history, and books of the Peter Pauper PressUnknown Date (has links)
"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 value of state level textbook adoption systems as perceived by selected textbook publishing personnelSanton, Beryle Crockett January 1988 (has links)
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.

Die uitdaging van volhoubare groei : 'n kritiese ondersoek na uitgewerstrategieeBarnard, Riana 12 1900 (has links)
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.

John Newbery--father of children's literatureUnknown Date (has links)
"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).

Die wisselwerking tussen die agente betrokke by die publikasieproses van literere vertalings / The interaction between the agents involved in the publication process of literary translationsSpies, Carla-Marie 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this dissertation two relatively under-researched areas within the scope of translation
studies are investigated: the production process of translations and the sociological and
cognitive aspects involved in this production process (as opposed to only studying the
translation product). Process and sociological studies are currently on the forefront of
research in translation studies and this dissertation attempts to contribute to these fields.
The current study investigates the role of the various agents (among others the publisher,
reviser and editor) involved in the production process of translations to illustrate how this
process involves more agents than only the translator. Translation is proven to be a process
involving a network of agents who work together to produce the final product, i.e. the
target text. In this dissertation this interaction between agents is examined by making use of
Latour's Actor-Network-Theory (ANT), a sociological theory that focuses on the network and
links between agents within a production process.
The production processes of literary translations that are analysed in this dissertation are
Niggie – To hell with Cronjé (Ingrid Winterbach), Vaselinetjie – My name is Vaselinetjie
(Anoeschka von Meck) and a selection of the "Stoffel tales" – In bushveld and dessert: A
game ranger's life (Christiaan Bakkes). These texts were all translated by the literary
translator Elsa Silke and published by NB Publishers in 2007, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The versions of the texts analysed are the source text, the concept translation, any other
preliminary versions (manuscripts) and the completed published target text. These texts are
analysed along with all available correspondence between agents to reconstruct the
production processes in order to determine how translations are produced by means of
interaction between different agents. This study is therefore greatly exploratory by nature
and aimed at revealing the "invisible" of the production process of literary translations in order to contribute to and promote research within this under-researched field of
translation studies. The main focus of this study is to analyse how each agent's inputs have a sociological impact
on other agents and the production processes, as well as how their interaction and
decisions impact the target text. The results are predominantly presented descriptively
(within the framework of Descriptive Translation Studies [DTS]) and concepts of Nord's
Functionalism, Even-Zohar's Polysystem Theory, Bourdieu's theory on the field of cultural
production, Sharpe and Gunther's editing principles and Mossop's theory on editing and
revision of translated texts are used to analyse and discuss the production processes of the
three literary translations mentioned above. In conclusion a model is presented, based on
these analyses, depicting a possible optimal production process for literary translations. A
possible chronology of steps in the production process and means of interaction between
agents are depicted by this model. With this proposed model this dissertation contributes to
theory development within the field of translation studies and editing and revision theory.
This model can be applied to production processes of literary translations to test if it is
viable to apply in practice to ensure a more effective production process as well as a
successful product (target text). If this model proves to be effective, it can eventually serve
as a guideline for literary translation practice. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie proefskrif word twee studieterreine ondersoek wat in die verlede min binne die
vertaalwetenskap nagevors is: die bestudering van die produksieproses van vertalings en die
bestudering van die sosiologiese en kognitiewe aspekte betrokke by hierdie produksieproses
(teenoor slegs die vertaalproduk). Die ondersoek van hierdie terreine is op die oomblik op
die voorgrond in die vertaalwetenskap en hierdie proefskrif dra daartoe by om hierdie
studieveld te verbreed. In hierdie proefskrif word daar gekyk na die rol van die verskillende
agente, onder andere die uitgewers, redigeerders en reviseurs in die produksieproses van
drie literêre vertalings om te illustreer dat die produksieproses van literêre vertalings nie
slegs die insette van een agent, naamlik die vertaler, behels nie, maar dat dit 'n proses is wat
uit 'n netwerk van agente bestaan wat saamwerk om die eindproduk (naamlik die doelteks)
te produseer. Hierdie netwerk van verhoudings tussen agente in die produksieproses word
ondersoek na aanleiding van Latour se sosiologiese Actor-Network-Theory (ANT) wat op die
netwerk en skakels tussen agente binne 'n produksieproses fokus. Die produksieprosesse van literêre vertalings wat in hierdie proefskrif ontleed word, is
Niggie – To hell with Cronjé (Ingrid Winterbach), Vaselinetjie – My name is Vaselinetjie
(Anoeschka von Meck) en 'n keur uit die Stoffel-verhale – In bushveld and desert: A game
ranger's life (Afgekort as In bushveld and desert) (Christiaan Bakkes) – almal tekste wat
onderskeidelik in 2007, 2009 en 2008 by NB-Uitgewers verskyn het en deur die literêre
vertaler Elsa Silke vertaal is. Die bronteks, die konsepvertaling, enige ander voorlopige
weergawes (manuskripte) en die uiteindelike gepubliseerde doelteks word telkens saam
met die beskikbare korrespondensie tussen die onderskeie agente bestudeer om die
produksieprosesse te rekonstrueer en te bepaal hoe die vertaalprodukte deur middel van
wisselwerking tussen onderskeie agente tot stand gekom het. Hierdie studie is dus grootliks
verkennend van aard en het dit ten doel gestel om die "onsigbare" van die produksieproses
van literêre vertalings bloot te lê ten einde verdere navorsing in hierdie onderontwikkelde
been van die vertaalwetenskap te bevorder. Daar word hoofsaaklik gekyk na die wyse waarop elke agent se insette 'n sosiologiese impak
op die ander agente sowel as die produksieprosesse en/of 'n tekstuele impak op die
doelteks gehad het. Die resultate word hoofsaaklik deskriptief (vergelyk deskriptiewe
vertaalstudies, DTS) aangebied en bespreek en daar word van konsepte uit Nord se
funksionalisme, Even-Zohar se polisisteemteorie, Bourdieu se veldteorie, Sharpe en Gunther
se redigeerbeginsels en Mossop se teorie oor redigering en revisie van vertalings gebruik
gemaak om die analises uiteen te sit en te bespreek. Na aanleiding van dié analises word 'n
model in die laaste hoofstuk aangebied wat 'n moontlike optimale produksieproses vir
literêre vertalings voorstel. Die aanbevole chronologie van stappe in die produksieproses en
die wisselwerking tussen agente word deur hierdie model voorgestel. Met die daarstelling
van dié model dra die proefskrif dus tot teorieontwikkeling in die vertaalwetenskap en op
die gebied van redigeer- en revisieteorie by. Hierdie model kan op die produksieprosesse
van literêre vertalings toegepas word om te toets of dit wel in die praktyk werk om 'n
effektiewe produksieproses te bewerkstellig en 'n geslaagde vertaalproduk te produseer.
Indien wel, kan dit uiteindelik as 'n riglyn vir die literêre vertaalpraktyk dien.

Scholarly publishing in Africa : a case study of African university pressesDarko-Ampem, Kwasi Otu January 2004 (has links)
University press publishing was introduced in sub-Sahara Africa around the mid 1950s as the new independent countries strived to accelerate the pace of education and training of their peoples with the sole purpose of the rapid socio-economic development of their countries. Just like their universities, African university presses were modeled after their American and European counterparts. Like all genres of publishing, scholarly publishing in Africa has not been cushioned from the challenges imposed by economic factors. In fact publishing in Africa enjoyed a short boom in the early 1970s, but due to the serious socio-economic downturns in most of these countries, starting from the early 1980s, these gains have been halted and in some cases reversed. This study examines the policies and practices of six sub-Saharan Africa university presses. It is a multi-site case study to establish how far the presses have adopted and/or adapted their policies to suit the environment and circumstances of Africa. The study investigates the extent to which constraints facing them affect their publishing efforts, their coping strategies, and the possible avenues of reducing the effect of these constraints. Several data collection methods were employed including on-site visits, interviews, and observations at three of the presses, and a mail survey of all six presses. There is a serious absence of competition and cooperation between the presses surveyed. There are no aggressive fund raising strategies, yet the survey showed financial constraint as the most crucial factor that impedes the development of their publishing activities. The presses do not have press publishing areas or press lists, which define the subject areas in which each of them concentrates its publishing. None of the presses has a formal written policy on manuscript acquisition. The study confirms that university presses publish mainly in the humanities and social sciences. Views on a unique African model of a university press are divided. The issue of author-publisher relationship is high on the presses agenda, especially as African scholars seek publishing avenues with African presses. Opinion on publishing non-scholarly materials was divided but swayed towards getting the needed profits to support non-profitable but essential publishing by the university press. For the majority of the presses, the most important publishing category is undergraduate textbook, and direct sales is the most popular means of marketing their works. The presses have succeeded at selling between 25-65% of their output. The study concludes that the coping strategies adopted by the presses in the face of harsh environmental conditions include the introduction of ICTs, changes in the treatment of authors, editorial policy on publishing non-scholarly materials, staff levels and use of outsourcing, and different approaches to sources of funding. It recommends a consortium of African university presses based at the micro level on Specialization, Cooperation, and the adoption of ICTs especially print-on-demand technologies. Each press must operate as a Trust in order to enjoy autonomy as a private company, but be registered as a non-profit organization. At the macro level funding must be vigorously sourced through donor agencies including The African Development Bank. Governments should prioritize book publishing, the development and stocking of libraries, encourage reading, set up regional university presses, and introduce book and publishing components into research project funds. The study recommends further research into the effect of technological developments on university press publishing in Africa, a follow up study in 10 years to see how university presses in Africa are surviving, and a detailed study of university press consortia and the implications for tertiary education in Africa.
