摘要

摘要:本文旨在描述将女权主义实践融入古董书商的三个主要角色:购买、编目和销售的原则。虽然女权主义目录学的学术研究在学术领域不断发展,针对珍本图书行业个人的女权主义运动(如美国古籍书商协会的妇女倡议)近年来取得了成功,但在日常实践中对女权主义的正式探索还很少。为建立一个更多样化、更包容、更容易接近的珍本图书交易和业余藏家群体,奠定这一基础是更广泛努力的重要一步,他们在决定哪些图书得到保存、哪些图书最终被机构收藏、哪些最终可用于学术研究方面发挥着关键作用。这篇文章以作者作为古书经销商和珍本图书公司的联合创始人的亲身经历为例,调查了女权主义实践的原则。它概述了典型的不言而喻的经济影响,这些影响塑造了珍本图书贸易的文化,以及该行业的一些传统如何使偏见持续存在,从而导致吸引、欢迎和维持与藏家关系的不必要障碍。通过提供具体的例子,本文还展示了如何将女权主义原则融入到珍本图书交易的基本技能中,从而使经销商受益,以及为什么每个书商都应该成为女权主义书商。这种做法在短期内使经销商受益,使他们能够以更知情的方式购买,同时减少了在编目和销售实践中不必要地疏远特定书籍的潜在买家的风险。此外,从长远来看,这有利于经销商,因为它支持了更大的买家群体的增长,因为正是他们从根本上保持了珍本图书交易引擎的运转。

On Feminist Practice in the Rare Books and Manuscripts Trade: Buying, Cataloging, and Selling
Abstract:This article seeks to delineate principles for incorporating feminist practices into the three main roles of the antiquarian bookseller: buying, cataloging, and selling. While scholarship in feminist bibliography is growing in the academic sphere, and feminist movements for individuals in the rare book trade (such as the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America's Women's Initiative) have seen success in recent years, few formal explorations of feminism in the everyday practices of the trade have yet followed. Laying this groundwork is an important step in the wider efforts to build a more diverse, inclusive, and accessible rare book trade and body of avocational collectors, both of whom play critical roles in deciding what gets preserved, what ends up in institutional collections, and what is ultimately available for scholarly research. This article surveys principles for feminist practice with examples based on the author's own experience as an antiquarian book dealer and cofounder of a rare book firm. It outlines typically unspoken economic influences that have shaped the culture of the rare book trade, as well as how some traditions of the trade can perpetuate bias that results in unnecessary obstacles to attracting, welcoming, and maintaining relationships with collectors. In providing specific examples, this article also demonstrates how incorporating feminist principles into the fundamental skills of the rare book trade is beneficial to dealers, and thus why every bookseller should be a feminist bookseller. This practice benefits dealers in the short term by enabling them to buy in a more informed manner, as well as reducing the risk of needlessly alienating potential buyers of specific books in their cataloging and selling practices. Further, it benefits dealers in the long term by supporting the growth of a much bigger pool of buyers, as it is they who fundamentally keep the engine of the rare book trade running.

期刊介绍: Film Criticism is a peer-reviewed, online publication whose aim is to bring together scholarship in the field of cinema and media studies in order to present the finest work in this area, foregrounding textual criticism as a primary value. Our readership is academic, although we strive to publish material that is both accessible to undergraduates and engaging to established scholars. With over 40 years of continuous publication, Film Criticism is the third oldest academic film journal in the United States. We have published work by such international scholars as Dudley Andrew, David Bordwell, David Cook, Andrew Horton, Ann Kaplan, Marcia Landy, Peter Lehman, Janet Staiger, and Robin Wood. Equally important, FC continues to present work from emerging generations of film and media scholars representing multiple critical, cultural and theoretical perspectives. Film Criticism is an open access academic journal that allows readers to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, and link to the full texts of articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose except where otherwise noted.
