Resumen
OLIVA MENDOZA, Carlos. Your Weight in Gold. The Printed Book and the Textuality of Sense. Rev. filos.open insight [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.20, pp.37-51. Epub 02-Mayo-2023. ISSN 2395-8936. https://doi.org/10.23924/oi.v10n20a2019.pp%25p.372.
This paper presents the idea of the book as a commodity and, at the same time, as a critic of capitalism. In contrast to the idea of the hermeneutic text, in this paper the idea of book is traced as the central commodity of industrial capitalism and its overlap in the formation of nations and the processes of identity, configured through printed capitalism. Finally, it is crucial in this paper to emphasize how the market is configured by the credit structure of the book, since the beginning of the book’s industrialization.
