El impacto del Covid-19 en la Feria Internacional del Libro de Bogotá

Abstract

Beyond each of our singularities, two fundamental interests unite us at book fairs in the world: first, readers (and future readers), that is, everything we do around the circulation of content and knowledge , and the promotion of reading as an axis of development and social growth; the fairs generate conversations that provoke essential social and cultural transformations. And, second, the circulation and commercialization of books, the strengthening of the publishing industry in cities and countries. Taking this into account, how did the pandemic generated by Covid-19 affect and transform the Bogotá International Book Fair (FILBo)?
