[ 31.12.09 ] At the beginning of each year, cultural redistribution takes place on a large scale, namely, when, on 1 January, the commercial rights of descendants to the creative works of their ancestors expire. From this day onwards, these works may be copied, adapted, sampled, and reorganised. They are no longer private property, but have become common property - in other words, they fall into the ... beri naprej
[ 18.12.09 ] Good news for all online borrowers and digital readers. It’s like Christmas brought forward to mid or rather early December: the tokens have arrived - the gifts will be coming sometime later. Time will tell what we’ll actually receive. Though in the two cases depicted here, it may take a while. But promises are in place, under the tree, so to speak - the first step has been taken. A ... beri naprej
[ 11.12.09 ] If everything new is of the devil’s making, then technical advances must, at the very least, be compared with SS troops; a simple calculation, based on a certain kind of cultural pessimism, which can be arrived at in fractions of a second. And it makes absolute sense to all those who casually spout Hitler comparisons in response to a weakly brewed morning cup of coffee. An equally simple ... beri naprej
[ 07.12.09 ] This time the ‘medium of the week’ comes from ZYX Music: ‘With Jazzy Christmas , you can enjoy jazz versions of classic Christmas songs.’ These words are to be found at the ‘Onleihe’ blog , whose recommendations are always up-to-date and in tune with the Zeitgeist. A few weeks ago it was Nobel Laureate Herta Müller’s turn with Atemschaukel . Though admittedly, in general, ... beri naprej
[ 28.11.09 ] First you’re battling a huge swell on the world’s oceans – and then, all of the sudden, you’re cruising through smooth inland waters. So it seems for European writers’ associations at the moment: the waves first generated by the Google Book Settlement have pretty well subsided since Google – along with its American negotiating partners – presented an amended version of the ... beri naprej
[ 19.11.09 ] Effective immediately, readme.cc will be available not only on the internet and our computer screens, but also in printed form, running from right to left. Made possible by the Egyptian-German Cultural Centre (ÄDK) in Cairo, a non-profit organisation for education and culture that celebrated its tenth anniversary in March 2009, the project aims to mediate linguistically between cultures in ... beri naprej
[ 12.11.09 ] In November 2008, around 500 publishers participated in BUCH WIEN 08, Austria’s first international book fair, which sought to make Vienna a hub for the trading of books between the East and the West. How successful it was should become clear at this year’s edition of the fair , which is being held from 12 - 15 November 2009. Readme.cc will once again take part in this international ... beri naprej
[ 05.11.09 ] The poetry collection Alternative Geography by Egyptian poet Iman Mersal , recently published in Hebrew translation, has become a literary event in Cairo. The daily Al-Masri al-Youm "spotlighted" the book in its culture section, with a lengthy review of the Hebrew edition written by Mohamed Aboud, the paper's Israeli Affairs correspondent. The book was translated by Prof. ... beri naprej
[ 30.10.09 ] True, the controversies surrounding China, Guest of Honour, at the Frankfurt Book Fair eclipsed everything else. At least that’s how it seemed on the surface. News, of course, also accumulated during the book fair on that never-ending topic to which many of us in the literary world have a love-hate relationship: e-books. New electronic reading devices seem to be springing up like ... beri naprej
[ 23.10.09 ] In actual fact, it was a welcome change. At the Frankfurt Book Fair, which ended just a few days ago, everyone was discussing topics related to China, the fair’s Guest of Honour : China’s official delegation here, its dissidents there; who had been invited and who, disinvited; or talks cancelled at short notice that had never been confirmed in the first place. And so everyone forgot to ... beri naprej
[ 19.10.09 ] ‘An enchanted castle in southern Austria. From the main road, you’d never suspect such a jewel lying there, hidden behind a farmstead: Hainfeld near Feldbach, the largest moated castle in Styria, former residence of the renowned orientalist Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall (1774–1856). A symbolic site at which to hold the European Literature Days.’ So reported Die Presse , one of ... beri naprej

[ 01.10.09 ] In 1980, a 23-year-old curly-haired Jewish American student named Aaron Lansky decided to take upon himself a mission nobody had undertaken before: to rescue deserted Yiddish books. The language spoken by three-quarters of world Jewry in the late 19th century was almost lost a century later. Valuable books, passed on by Jews throughout the generations, books that had survived the Holocaust ... beri naprej
[ 24.09.09 ] Mathias Enard, Lavinia Greenlaw, Finn-Ole Heinrich, Jaroslav Rudiš, Ferdinand Schmatz and many others will read and discuss literature in the historical surroundings of Hainfeld Castle in Styria under an initiative from the European literature portal Readme.cc.

[ 18.09.09 ] Anyone who happened to be lucky enough to click on a remote region of the online version of one of the major Italian daily papers (such as the ‘Culture’ or maybe ‘Technology’ section) during the last few weeks was able to learn that the Associazione italiana editori (AIE - Association of Italian Publishers) has also joined the chorus of protesters against the Google Book Settlement. ... beri naprej
