- Abstract
- Literary culture has recently become aware of the printed book as an object and a medium.

Drawing on theoretical perspectives of e.g. Jessica Pressman, Dominick Schrey and Henry Jenkins, I investigate how these works celebrate the book as an auratic object and an old medium, while also presenting the book as a commodity that is marketed and sold on the conditions of the new media culture. Thus, I argue that the works in different ways reflect the new ambiguous status of the printed book: it is celebrated as a guarantor of a traditional literary culture and is accordingly positioned in opposition to the contemporary commercialized media culture – while it is also being (as it always has been) a commodity and thus functioning on the commercial and cultural conditions of this new media culture.
