Book Studies for Dessert? A Response to the Interdisciplinary Potluck of “Was ist Literatursoziologie?”
This contribution enters into conversation with the previous articles penned for this three-part special issue series “What is the sociology of literature?” from the disciplinary standpoint of book studies ( Buchwissenschaft ). Specifically, Donald F. McKenzie’s concept of studying the ‘sociology of texts,’ proposed in the early 1980 s, is reconsidered
Moving Memoir Across Markets and Media: A Study of Popular Memoir and Its Genre Effects
Memoir moves readers for genre-specific reasons, and memoir also moves across markets, languages, media, and fandoms. Despite its ubiquity and popularity, memoir is an under-researched genre in book history. Our article seeks to address this gap through a discussion of genre theory and the concept of “memoirification,” and then through a brief case study of how popular memoir moves between the anglophone and German-speaking markets. In our case s…

“Pay to Play” in the German Book Trade
This paper considers the success of the thriller Der neunte Arm des Oktopus (transl.: The Ninth Arm of the Octopus , Cologne: Bastei Lübbe, November 2020) by German drugstore magnate Dirk Rossmann. Certain elements of brand-name authorship are applicable here, but the market power of Rossmann goes far beyond name recognition. Beyond the typical marketing for a ‘big book’ in the sense of contemporary trade publishing, Rossmann flooded the campaign…
