Bästsäljare är böcker som säljer i stora upplagor, som får ett stort antal läsare och är omtalade i medier och bland läsare. Trots att bästsäljare kan anses vara den mest synliga litteraturen på bokmarknaden har forskning om hur de skapas, framställs och mottas varit begränsad, likaså forskning kring bästsäljares kulturella och sociala betydelse. I forskningsantologin Hype är bästsäljaren som fenomen i fokus, inte minst utifrån perspektivet att populära berättelser bevisligen spelar stor roll för miljoner läsare. Bästsäljaren, betraktad som ett globalt fenomen, befinner sig i ett kraftfält mellan producenter och konsumenter, något som belyser det ömsesidiga beroendet mellan kultur, marknad och individ. Antologin behandlar en rad olika frågor som hänger samman med bästsäljande skönlitteratur såsom hur hajp skapas, bokmarknadens utveckling och fokus på stora böcker, författarens position i det samtida mediala landskapet, historiska perspektiv och förhållandet mellan bästsäljare och forskning. - Bestsellers are the books that sell well, are read by large numbers of people, and are widely talked about in the media and among readers. Yet there has been little research on the creation, reception, and cultural and social significance of bestsellers. Recognizing that popular narratives play an important role in the lives of millions of readers, Hype Bestsellers and Literary Culture looks closely at the literature so many people read. As global market phenomena, situated in between the power spheres of producers and consumers, bestsellers also highlight the interdependency of culture, market, and the individual. This volume addresses such diverse questions as the creation of hype, the role and the meaning of the author in the presentday media landscape, changes in the book trade, historical perspectives on bestselling literature, and the relationship between bestsellers and literary research.

In the long-awaited follow-up to the international bestseller Funky Business, Jonas Ridderstråle and Kjell A Nordström launch a new manifesto for how to make it in the world of Karaoke Capitalism. The karaoke economy is dominated by individuals with endless choice. The trouble for business is that the karaoke club is also home to institutionalized. Copy-cats abound. Only imagination and innovation place societies, organizations and individuals center-stage. Karaoke Capitalism is a call to arms. Kjell and Jonas are rebels with a cause. With their unorthodox combination of academic rigor, forceful logic and funky free-thinking they once again re-write the rules for evolutionaries. This is a true work-out for the wits. Free your mind! The book teaches us how to successfully compete on competencies, create capitalism with character, and how to have a great life while also making a living. It is required reading for all those wanting to be a first-rate version of themselves rather than a second-rate version of someone else. "If you loved Funky Business as much as I did, you´ll love Karaoke Capitalism. Weird? Most certainly. Different? Most definitely. But, if you want to re-imagine your organization and your career it´s a thought-provoking place to start." Tom Peters, management guru and author of "Re-imagine" and many other fine management books.

Funky Business Forever - How To Enjoy Capitalism [Bok / Danskt band]

The growing flow of digital culture depends on the hidden protocols of its underlying systems. To explore how interfacing shapes spectatorship online, this pioneering study pinpoints experiences of flow through the friction of photo-based glitch art by Phillip Stearns, Rosa Menkman, and Evan Meaney. Homing in on the viewer, these three cross-disciplinary case studies present and analyze material that is new to the art-historical context. In particular, they focus on how glitched artworks in online environments make viewers aware of their own activity within the flow, causing a break from the increasingly naturalized integration of system and individual. When a glitch invites the viewer to try out different positions in relation to the system, a tactical spectatorship unfolds.
