English abstract

Amazon has radically changed the publishing world. And this transformation is so profound that everything done before by the publishing industry today is seen as the product of an apathetic industry, chronically indifferent to change. Nothing could be further from the truth, as this text tries to highlight, and in an attempt to demystify this view, it recovers four moments and areas of the past history of publishing, all with transformative effects that still influence our practices: labor, intellectual prop-erty, Christmas celebrations and mass consumption

Spanish abstract

Amazon ha cambiado radicalmente el mundo editorial, y esta transformación es tan profunda que todo lo que se ha hecho hasta ahora en la industria editorial es visto como el produc-to de una industria apática, crónicamente indiferente al cam-bio. Nada más lejos de la realidad, como trata de poner de manifiesto este texto que, en un intento de desmitificar esta visión, recupera cuatro momentos y ámbitos de la historia pasada de la edición, todos ellos con efectos transformadores que aún influyen en nuestras prácticas: el trabajo, la propie-dad intelectual, las fiestas navideñas y el gran consumo.
