BOOK EXHIBIT NOTES
| FOR PUBLISHERS, MARKETING AND EXHIBITS MANAGERS |
Every year the IAPL holds a major Book Exhibit in conjunction with its annual
conferences.
We have a large and elegant exhibit planned for the 2002 conference in Rotterdam. The exhibit will be held in close proximity to the rooms where sessions are held, permitting easy flow from the conference presentations and discussions to the Book Exhibit. This will also be in the same location as the IAPL 2002 Registration and Conference Cafe.
The Book Exhibit is arranged each year by the IAPL Executive Director and is organized by an experienced staff who have been involved in running IAPL Book Exhibits for many years.
Typically about 400-450 people attend IAPL conferences and this year's program has been heavily subscribed to in terms of paper submissions and program preparations. We also have an extraordinary list of major speakers and conference participants, including Peter Greenaway, Luce Irigaray, Jean-Luc Nancy, Slavoj Zizek, Dominique Janicaud, Mario Perniola, et al.
Except for the January 2000 "Turnings" special IAPL conference in Naples (Italy), this is the first time that a major conference of the IAPL will be held in Europe. We are excited about this prospect and look forward to an especially large interest this year.
The Conference Topic is "Intermedialities" and hence we encourage not only your current list of publications in the areas of Contemporary (and particularly Continental) Philosophy, Literary and Cultural Theory, Media and Film Studies, Aesthetics and Art Theory, Contemporary Political Theory, Gender Studies, Performance Studies, and the like, but also more broadly works in the history of philosophy, literary criticism, intellectual history, aesthetic theory, and cultural studies.
The IAPL Book Exhibit features the specially identified display of publications by individual publishers. Each publisher reserving display space will have place for the exhibit of books, posters, catalogues, order forms, fliers, and the like. We work primarily with individual publishers for the display of their work. Publishers have indicated that they are particularly satisfied with this aspect of IAPL Book Exhibits.
For publishers reserving space, we are able to include special order forms in conference participants' packets (as long as we receive them at the conference location at least one month prior to the beginning of the conference).
For those publishers unable to send representatives, our staff is able to set up and supervise the display. We can also collect publisher's conference discount order forms (with credit card payments only) and return them to the publisher's designated person for processing after the conference is completed.
Publishers sending their own representatives are of course welcome to prepare and supervise their own tables as well as sell books as they see fit. If they send editors and prefer to have IAPL maintain their tables, we are also able to make arrangements to do so.
We ask that publishers send to the IAPL Executive Director a list of books to be exhibited at the conference no later than May 15th, 2002. This can be done by e-mail or by fax (as listed below). We also request an e-mail or fax confirmation of the number of boxes being sent.
Please contact the IAPL Executive Director for table reservations and details on sending of books to Rotterdam (for receipt no later than May 15th, 2002).
