Abstract

This study investigates the circulation and reception of six bestsellers between Canada and Australia (2005–2014). We ask which contemporary bestselling books travel between Canada and Australia, how and by whom these books are mediated, and how they are received by readers. Through content analysis of Canadian and Australian print media mentions and online reader reviews (n = 4407), we find variation in reception of bestsellers, influenced by genre and author profile. Bestsellers’ national origins are usually disregarded by media and reader reviews.

畅销书在加拿大和澳大利亚之间的跨国接收

本研究调查了加拿大和澳大利亚（2005-2014）之间六本畅销书的发行和接受情况。我们询问哪些当代畅销书在加拿大和澳大利亚之间传播，这些书是如何以及由谁来传播的，以及读者如何接受它们。通过对加拿大和澳大利亚平面媒体提及和在线读者评论的内容分析（n=4407），我们发现畅销书的受欢迎程度存在差异，受流派和作者简介的影响。畅销书的民族血统通常被媒体和读者评论所忽视。
