Social media, how the way in which we obtain information on books has changed in 20 years

01-10-2024 10:00 01-10-2024 11:00 Europe/Madrid Social media, how the way in which we obtain information on books has changed in 20 years Facebook saw the light of day for the first time in 2004. Although there had been other networks in the previous decade, this one impacted the world differently and was the first to be used in the publishing industry, by publishers, authors and booksellers, as a means to reach readers directly. Today, 20 years later, sites such as X, Instagram and Tik Tok are used as essential places to inform people about books, how have they evolved and what consequences has this had in these 20 years?

Panel discussion

What role do libraries play in the book sector?

01-10-2024 12:00 01-10-2024 13:00 Europe/Madrid What role do libraries play in the book sector? What role do public libraries play in the book chain? How should they converse with authors, publishers and bookshops? What is its space at a commercial event such as the Madrid Book Fair? Public libraries are often largely forgotten in the book ecosystem. Authors and publishers think first of bookshops to organise their book presentations, talks and workshops. However, bookshops and libraries are not adversaries; nothing could be further from the truth. The two spaces must converse and cooperate to present themselves as heterogeneous but complementary alternatives for the dissemination of literature and encounters with it. Libraries need to recover their presence in the book chain and not restrict themselves to being the final repositories for copies. They must be active and attractive agents for authors and readers.

Expectations for the growth of children’s contents in audio format

Literature in Chinese to translate

02-10-2024 13:15 02-10-2024 14:45 Europe/Madrid Literature in Chinese to translate Chinese literature has undergone an enormous transformation and boom in recent years, ranging from well-established authors such as Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan to unusual phenomena such as the emergence of Chinese science fiction and manhua graphic novels.

In this panel discussion we’ll see what’s been translated into Spanish so far and, above all, what remains to be translated and what current-day Chinese literature has to offer readers and publishers. Resources will also be presented for any Spanish-language publishers wishing to explore the Chinese literary world. CC1, Sala 1.5
