Have you heard about BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS?

A pilot open access model for books

BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS is a collective-action approach to funding open access (OA) books. Through this model, we aim to make OA publication available to a wider range of authors by spreading the cost across multiple organisations, while providing additional benefits to participating libraries. We are the first commercial publisher to pilot such a model. Our hope is to engage a more diverse set of authors, bringing their work to a wider global audience.

THE BOOKS

In this pilot phase we aim to make 20 frontlist titles in African Studies and International Development OA immediately upon publication. The titles, including some from Bloomsbury’s renowned Zed Books imprint, are due to publish between March 2024 and February 2025.

BENEFITS TO LIBRARIES

• Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 20 research titles available OA

• Receive 1 year’s access to 194 backlist titles in African Studies and International Development

• Be publicly acknowledged on our website

• If we do not raise enough funds to publish the titles OA, receive permanent access to all 20 frontlist titles

• If we raise 50% of our target funding and can only publish 10 titles OA, receive permanent access to the 10 titles that are not made OA

Semiotics with a Conscience Decoding Dangerous Discourses

Marcel Danesi, University of Toronto, Canada

Edited

by Helen Julia Minors, York St John University, UK

Bringing together chapters that explore theory and practice, this book questions the process and role translation has to play in the context of music and dance Unrestricted by genre, style or cultural location, it provides a range of case studies to think critically about the sound and movement arts of music and dance using translation as a model to better understand the collaboration of these art forms It is the second volume to explore translation in relation to music, and the first to overtly tackle this topic in terms of dance
