The Case of Harlequin Enterprises and Sweden. Skrifter utgivna av Avdelningen för litteratursociologi vid Litteraturvetenskapliga institutionen i Uppsala. Publications from the Section for Sociology of Literature at the Department of Literature, Uppsala University, 38. 272 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-85178-28-4. English text. This dissertation deals with the Canadian category publisher Harlequin Enterprises. Operating in a hundred markets and publishing in twenty-four languages around the world, Harlequin Enterprises exempliıes the increasingly transnational character of publishing and the media. This book takes the Stockholm-based Scandinavian subsidiary Förlaget Harlequin as a case-study to analyze the complexities involved in the transposition of Harlequin romances from one cultural context into another. Using a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches it is argued that the local process of translation and editing – here referred to as transediting – has a fundamental impact on how the global book becomes local.

  • Robert Bartholomew
    OBITUARY Robert Bartholomew Fifth-generation map publisher with the Edinburgh-based family business that brought the name Antarctica into common use MAY 30 2017, 12:01AM, THE TIMES Robert Bartholomew in 2015. He studied printing at Heriot-Watt College and after a year in London joined the family firm Robbie Bartholomew was a small boy when he was taken to his father’s map-printing works, an imposing building with a Palladian façade in the Newington area of Edinburgh. He was allowed to peer into the 400ft well that had been dug from the basement and would supply up to 5,000 gallons of water an hour to the new air-conditioning plant at a constant temperature of 3C. He returned to Bartholomew’s Maps after the war, where regular improvements to printing quality, production procedures and binding continued as the company’s output increased from seven million maps a year in 1913 to 100 million by 1975. In 1955, the year that he was appointed production director, Bartholomew’s took possession of its first automatic folding machine, replacing the women who for many decades had folded maps by hand in the mounting room. He later oversaw the early developments in computerisation. Robbie Bartholomew was from the fifth and last generation to work in the family business. Bartholomew & Son had been founded in about 1826 by John Bartholomew (born 1805), whose father was an engraver for Daniel Lizars of Edinburgh. John George Bartholomew (born 1860), from the third generation, was a founding member of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and cartographer to George V.

Congratulations to all who entered, and deserving acknowledgment for the winners, place-getters and highly commended recipients. Maybe we can have an extra celebration at next year’s Awards dinner scheduled to be held at Mercure Brisbane Hotel on May 28.
