Through an exploration of contemporary changes in publishing set against a historical understanding of the conceptual origins of copyright, I propose a redefinition of the book. I argue that the book is a dynamic system for the commodification of ideas and cultural expressions. As a system rather than a material object the book packages, stores, verifies, gatekeeps, permits trade by allowing transference of ownership, and verifies by documenting previous ownership of texts on which its ideas are built. Through this system creative, artistic, innovative, and cutting edge scientific ideas reach an audience. This is where its economic value and cultural worth liesKnjigo danes kot vir informacij izziva internet, kot prenosnika nacionalne kulture pa drugi mediji, a ohranja svoj privilegirani prostor kot cenjen in občudovan posrednik literarne kulture. Ta razprava, oprta na raziskave sodobnih sprememb v založništvu in historično razumevanje konceptualnih izvorov avtorskih pravic, predlaga redefinicijo knjige. Pokazati skuša, da je knjiga predvsem dinamičen sistem za komodifikacijo idej in kulturnih praks. Kot sistem (in ne kot materialni objekt) knjiga sestavlja v celoto, shranjuje, nadzoruje, dopušča trgovanje (dovoljujoč prenos lastništva) in verificira (s pomočjo dokumentiranja predhodnega lastništva tekstov oziroma idej). S pomočjo tega sistema lahko kreativne, inovativne, umetniške in znanstvene ideje dosežejo občinstvo. Ravno v tem sta tudi njegova ekonomska in kulturna vrednostTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaSlovensko društvo za primerjalno književnost
