Book exhibitions ..
A civilized parade and an elitist expression !
The inspiration of Jesus
ElHam Essa
Despite the fact that the written reality in general and the outputs of journalism, reading, writing, or the printed volume, if you may name it, are living in a real dying state at the whole world level after Technologies have infected them with death .. The communication sites and the mechanisms of new work hit it hard, affecting other historical legacies left to us by the predecessor, while the successors found themselves in front of new data and reality and the mechanisms of abuse imposed by modern technologies through the mating of computers and the internet, which led to the birth of programs and sites that negatively affected the movement of many means of culture that prevailed for decades and perhaps centuries ..
For example, the paper press, magazines and periodicals have become news in Cannes, to name a few .. After she officially died in some countries ... It is still grown and banned in other countries .. As for the radio, which is no longer heard except on buses and private cars, while the area of influence of television has narrowed after the means of watching and personal enjoyment through the mobile dominated, bypassing the collective viewing mechanisms that prevailed through TV screens, as it could not attract viewers except in some important events, especially football matches, some festivals, activities and exceptional special offers, except that most homes have covered the TV screen or marginalized it as a means that has become second only to the mobile .
At a natural first glance, we find the movement of printing, distributing and selling books has also been greatly affected by it, which led to the closure of many printing houses and publishing houses .. The question is now strongly posed .. How long will the bookselling industry resist and will bookstores selling or reading be affected .. And what are the translations of book fairs in light of goals that have become vague due to falling sales, they say
The natural answer lies in the cultural level of each environment, some countries have a high cultural and scientific level .. We find that printing books is still popular, widespread and influential, and vice versa .. As for libraries as important scientific and cultural sources to provide books and resources to those in need of intellectuals, science students and others .. Many of them have changed their curricula and working mechanisms to suit the new reality .. Where the printed, compressed and illustrated books were introduced .. And other measures that are consistent with the reality of change ..
As for book fairs, they have become the most reliable in the elite export of books, printing and publications, as they still strongly express the spirit of writing and expenses, even though they have witnessed heavy losses in buying and selling with scarce sales imports for most exhibitions, especially Arab ones, in which publishers suffer from transportation and printing costs, other fees and taxes, but they do not find that momentum and those sales that cover even a small effort from their various losses..
Here, the concerned Arab countries should change the nature of the relationship with publishers and make publishing houses and book fairs marketing agencies for a civilized identity more than any other file that can translate this title .. And this is through what those international exhibitions promote, especially those highlighted and preceded by a major media campaign that makes the pioneers increase and even crowd with a phenomenon that predicts the existence of the womb of reading and writing in the conscience of the nation, even if it is reduced for various reasons and external agendas ..
We hope that governments and concerned parties, in general and cultural, in particular, to pay attention to the importance of the book fair and to prepare themselves more for its development and to change the liberal attitude and direct financial support, the file of book fairs and books in general is no less efficient in protecting the civilizational project and the national security of any country .
The traditional confidence in the culture and consciousness of Man and his need for a love of knowledge and knowledge make libraries and exhibitions a necessary and irreplaceable cultural need ... Provided that you take into account all variables, including natural, psychological, moral, intellectual and forward-looking .. For users and those dealing with it, the state and governments stand at the head of all of them.
