Bookselling as Resistance?
A Conference Report by Carla Schäfer (University of Münster)
BRN Conference 2025: Bookselling as Resistance
Book historical work has been increasingly highlighting books - their publication, distribution and reception - in intersectional activist contexts, shining light on interconnections between community-building, politics and the book. In our conference, scheduled for September 2025 in Münster, Germany, we plan to hone in on bookselling as a practice and consider the ways in which resistance can be interpreted vis-à-vis bookselling and bookstores.
