Established by the Publishers Association (PA) in 1947, the TMA divided the English-speaking world into British and American markets and granted British publishers the exclusive right to sell their editions across the empire (later the Commonwealth) throughout the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. This talk will discuss the role the PA played in defining and defending the empire market in the 1940s. Examining the PA\u2019s appeals to the British wartime government to promote book exports and its quarrels with American publishers, the talk will illustrate how the PA extracted the \u201cempire market\u201d from the \u201cempire\u201d, the economic from the political, to maintain British publishers\u2019 book exports to dominions and colonies that would soon become independent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaker:<\/strong> Dr Hyei Jin Kim holds a DPhil in English from the University of Oxford. She researches the place of culture in international organisations such as PEN International and UNESCO and the role institutions play in structuring the international book trade. Her current project focuses on the material conditions of literature in English by examining the Traditional Market Agreement, a division of postwar Anglophone publishing territories, and its impact on literary publishing and reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Dr Hyei Jin Kim &#8211; CBCP Visiting Research Fellow This research seminar is a hybrid event &amp; is free &amp; open to all To join us in person come&#8230;<a class=\"read-more\" href=\"&#104;&#116;&#116;&#112;&#115;&#58;&#47;&#47;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#101;&#97;&#114;&#99;&#104;&#46;&#114;&#101;&#97;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#46;&#97;&#99;&#46;&#117;&#107;&#47;&#99;&#101;&#110;&#116;&#114;&#101;&#45;&#102;&#111;&#114;&#45;&#98;&#111;&#111;&#107;&#45;&#99;&#117;&#108;&#116;&#117;&#114;&#101;&#115;&#45;&#97;&#110;&#100;&#45;&#112;&#117;&#98;&#108;&#105;&#115;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#47;&#101;&#118;&#101;&#110;&#116;&#47;&#101;&#99;&#111;&#110;&#111;&#109;&#105;&#99;&#45;&#97;&#110;&#100;&#45;&#110;&#111;&#116;&#45;&#112;&#111;&#108;&#105;&#116;&#105;&#99;&#97;&#108;&#45;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#45;&#98;&#101;&#103;&#105;&#110;&#110;&#105;&#110;&#103;&#115;&#45;&#111;&#102;&#45;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#45;&#116;&#114;&#97;&#100;&#105;&#116;&#105;&#111;&#110;&#97;&#108;&#45;&#109;&#97;&#114;&#107;&#101;&#116;&#45;&#97;&#103;&#114;&#101;&#101;&#109;&#101;&#110;&#116;&#47;\">Read More ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":804,"featured_media":2262,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"coauthors":[49],"class_list":["post-2424","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 -
