Book Studies II builds on the course of the same name from the winter semester (in the standard course of the academic year) and introduces students to other topics from this field of research and application. The course focuses mainly on 3 thematic areas: the social function and social form of reading, the state and knowledge of the publishing field and issues of sustainability, recycling economy and bibliodiversity. Additional topics will turn to some methodological issues such as Media archaeology or New historicism. The course has three face-to-face tutorials and self-paced study support.
