Books, Publishing, Research fields, Historical sociologyAbstract
Since the first attempts to apprehend and explain the phenomenon, book publishing has been apprehended within a disciplinary and thematic context formed by a constellation of traditions and approaches in both sociology and history with multiple interconnections. This article looks to provide a systematic framework for the reader interested in gaining an understanding of one particular field of theoretical and empirical research, what I call here a historical sociology of publishing. A necessarily incomplete project, the approach is purposefully selective, examining the theme through the exploration of two specific traditions, French and Anglo-Saxon, with a particular focus on the last half century.Downloads
