And @lbmcgrath.bsky.social

Anna Ferrando’s work on Italian agents contributes to a growing body of scholarship on agents in Europe and the U.S. This heretofore neglected figure in publishing history is becoming an object of interest for both book historians and literary sociologists.

Well worth reading this #VanishingCulture report from @archive.org which focuses on our fragile cultural records and how the loss of such items impacts cultural memory #DigiPres #DigitalPreservation #Archives #preservation #CyberAttack #culture #access #memory ia800701.us.archive.org/31/items/van...

11 spécificités françaises de l’enseignement supérieur vues par l’OCDE, de la réussite au financement en passant par les compétences et l’insertion professionnelle. La France s’en sort plutôt bien sur quelques sujets, plutôt mal sur d’autres. A lire universites2024.fr/11-specifici...

Our workshop is now over. Thank you to my 2 wonderful co-organizers, Anna Ferrando and @corinnanorue.bsky.social, and to the great scholars who generously shared their knowledge and ideas, making these past 2 days a moment of genuine intellectual exchange.

“By focusing on independent presses, cultural organizations, and translators, we can better understand—and even anticipate—future trends in global literature.” As noted for German books, Marquez’s success can also possibly be attributed in part to his fabulous agent, Carmen Balcells.

In recent weeks, a number of people have mentioned returning to this article of mine from 2021. Here's a gift link.

Excited to finally announce the release of my first ever book, and the first ever book from we here press. It is a pocket-size guide to my archival theories and experiences in the form of essays- some you may have heard in part as lectures, some which are unpublished until now. www.weherepress.org

Just out/appena uscita! JEMS 14 (OA from Firenze UP), with 12 terrific articles on "The Politics of Book History--Then and Now". A great pleasure to edit this issue with @georginaemw.bsky.social, a brilliant collaborator (whose book, Paper and the Making of Early Modern Literature, is out soon!)

It’s here! Congratulations @danaawilliams.bsky.social! 🥂📚

I want to boost this master work by Dr Edda Fields-Black, “Combee” shows how you can recover Black histories of resistance in unlikely places. I got to meet her while she was writing this book when I was doing similar research on the enslaved owned by the Calhouns at Clemson U. 🗃️

In this erudite and provocative book, William Marx explores our invisible libraries—how we build them and how we should expand them. Out May 20. Learn more and preorder yours: press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Some sad confirmation from @bcgl.bsky.social while I was at UW last week—the National Digital Newspaper Program—which builds Chronicling America—has been shut down Historical newspapers are probably the archival material most used by the general public—for genealogy, local history—it’s such a loss

I've been meaning to locate the descendants of those who survived, but haven't started yet. Who knows if a cousin walked into my bookshop in Paris? One of the survivors was my dad's cousin Maurice. He joined the resistance in Paris, and later lived in Toulouse, where he died in 2010.

Is there a history of the pocket Constitution? 🗃️ I'm aware of this, from the National Constitution Center. But it leaves some things out. For example:

I fully endorse this thread on how to keep your stuff. The Cloud is *never* enough. It's your life's work! Not worried? Our govt is crushing knowledge systems like a mob of monster cybertrucks smashing into the front door of the library. Kate Ozment tells you how to make your stuff recoverable.

My NEH grant was terminated in service of a new focus on “patriotic programming,” but as an American and an Americanist, I know that resisting this dangerous decision and the broader movement of which it is a part is my patriotic duty. Wrote abt it @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/1936...

Who translated Foucault's The Order of Things? progressivegeographies.com/2025/04/06/w... Not the most important thing even in Foucault studies, but a chance archival discovery and an old oddity...
