Luis Gonz\u00e1lez showed a big picture of the empty streets in Madrid during the spring of 2020: when the meeting should take place. Instead of convening at the Casa del Lector&#8217;s auditorium (as previous years) the FGSR and IPDA\u00a0\u00a0had to use internet tools such as videoconference and remote canvas.<\/p>\n<p>From this experience the FGSR\/IPDA\u2019s team learned many things: for instance, they should collaborate and that is why decided to join forces with the Digital Publishing Summit. Gonz\u00e1lez added \u00abWe also realised that people needed to talk and understand the meaning of what was going on\u00bb:\u00a0 more than 500 professionals participated in a series of conferences during two weeks and leaders shared their insights with them.<\/p>\n<p>It was a success, but they were more ambitious and decided to work together in three remote collaborative groups, because the organisers of Readmagine&#8217;s last year&#8217;s edition aimed to understand the impact of this exceptional crisis on business models and behaviours, as well as the sort of new policies for the publishing industry that should be introduced in the European agenda. He added: \u00abIn short, we wanted to learn from this situation and discuss strategies to emerge stronger from the crisis&#8230;\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Although, as Mr. Gonz\u00e1lez admitted, in those days they feared that the impact on the market could be catastrophic, finally it is clear that \u00abwhen people were confined at home for months they used reading books as a survival resource and that the proportion of frequent and intense readers has increased and remain higher than before the lockdowns\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>The data of the book market in Europe in 2020 were not catastrophic (even quite good in some cases) and that those related to the first half of this year continue in a striking trend of increase.<\/p>\n<p>Following those remarks Luis Gonz\u00e1lez mentioned his personal experience: \u00abYes, many people took refuge in books. But it is clear that they also sought answers from them. In my case, for instance, I wanted to find clues in some books that I had already read a long time ago and I revisited the Jaspers\u2019s ideas, because I wondered if we could be witnessing one of those <em>axial ages<\/em> he wrote about&#8230; or Brown\u2019s <em>The world of late antiquity<\/em>\u00a0to find parallels with this time. A time in which we feel that we are on the border of another stage\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>From those experiences and from those elucidated readings the FGSR and IPDA\u00a0invited the Readmagine\u00a0community to participate in this new edition \u00abA very European edition of Readmagine. We invite you to think that we are citizens of the \u00abRoman Empire\u00bb, of a new Roman Empire that is mutating and taking shape as a European society\u2026\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Gonz\u00e1lez showed the image of the new edition and concluded: \u00abAnd this is the reason why we have used the Roman god Janus as a symbol of our meeting this year. Because he was the god of endings and beginnings, of transitions, of doorways , but also of dualities&#8230; The next few years could also have two faces and because of that, we think it&#8217;s useful to have this wakeup call for the European system of books and reading\u00bb.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_cell_one_fifth-f57c70f9f5a63fd800eb5b955b847c2a\">\n.flex_cell.av-av_cell_one_fifth-f57c70f9f5a63fd800eb5b955b847c2a{\nvertical-align:top;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_cell.av-av_cell_one_fifth-f57c70f9f5a63fd800eb5b955b847c2a{\npadding:30px 30px 30px 30px !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-av_cell_one_fifth-f57c70f9f5a63fd800eb5b955b847c2a av-gridrow-cell av_one_fifth no_margin  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_cell_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  content-align-top'  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><div id='after_grid_row_1'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-1405'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box av-av_social_share-ab1295240bea1d1200dd92c8b0db438f av-social-sharing-box-default  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_layout_row  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-social-sharing-box-fullwidth'><div class=\"av-share-box\"><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>Compartir esta entrada<\/h5><ul class=\"av-share-box-list noLightbox\"><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Compartir en Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/2021\/12\/11\/readmagine-21-the-wakeup-call-for-books-and-reading-in-europe\/&#038;t=READMAGINE%2021%3A%20THE%20WAKEUP%20CALL%20FOR%20BOOKS%20AND%20READING%20IN%20EUROPE' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Compartir en Facebook'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Compartir en Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Compartir en X\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=READMAGINE%2021%3A%20THE%20WAKEUP%20CALL%20FOR%20BOOKS%20AND%20READING%20IN%20EUROPE&#038;url=https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/?p=1405' data-av_icon='\ue932' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Compartir en X'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Compartir en X<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail avia_social_iconfont' ><a  aria-label=\"Compartir por correo\" href='mailto:?subject=READMAGINE%2021%3A%20THE%20WAKEUP%20CALL%20FOR%20BOOKS%20AND%20READING%20IN%20EUROPE&#038;body=https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/2021\/12\/11\/readmagine-21-the-wakeup-call-for-books-and-reading-in-europe\/' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Compartir por correo'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Compartir por correo<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1407,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-ideasen","post_format-post-format-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1405"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1405\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1411,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1405\/revisions\/1411"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/renodo.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
