The secondary book market in Poland

100%
EN
The text is a concise outline of the functioning of the secondary book market in Poland, which was shaped on the basis of the network of public and private secondhand bookshops, which operated before 1989. This market includes the institutions and processes that are linked to turnover of already produced and introduced at least once in trade assortment of antiquarian bookshop, or otherwise – any library materials that have been previously sold or issued by the widely understood manufacturer. Although most of the objects that are the subject of this trade are books, but next to them the same product range includes all library materials, also manuscripts, official documents etc. Today, the market is developing in three areas – stationary institutions (antiquarian bookshops), extramural (booksellers and other forms of occasional trade) and the Internet. The analysis of those phenomena was based on press reports and the Internet, broadly defined market offer observations, and interviews with the participants, carried out through several years, especially in the period of 2012–2015, when I made a research program NCN no. 2011/03/B/HS2/03908.

Górecka Ewa, Inne miejsca – filmowe obrazy antykwariatu jako heterotopie [Other Places: Cinematic Images of Antiquarian Bookshops as Heterotopias]. „Przestrzenie Teorii” 32. Poznań 2019, Adam Mickiewicz University Press, pp. 197–211. ISSN 1644-6763. DOI 10.14746/pt.2019.32.10. An antiquarian bookshop is a compelling site in the space of culture. Its history and its dense network of associations with an array of other cultural phenomena (e.g. fetishism, collecting, the rise and roles of libraries and museums, to name but a few) have long captivated creative practitioners – writers, painters and film-makers. 84 Charing Cross Road by D.H. Jones, The Ninth Gate by R. Polański and Antykwariat (The Second-Hand Bookstore) by M. Cuske are films in which antiquarian bookshops are appointed similarly central roles, but which at the same time differ from each other generically, each of them being a generic hybrid. In their cinematic renderings, the antiquarian bookshops appear as heterotopias in the sense proposed by Michel Foucault. The representations of the antiquarian bookshop revolve around its otherness vis-à-vis their surroundings, and frame it as unique, functionally variable within culture (a trading venue vs. a meeting point; a trading venue vs. a microcosm) and time-accumulating (heterochrony). Though generically disparate, the cinematic images of the antiquarian bookshop are all intimately embedded in Western culture.
