Pojam parateksta i analiza nakladničkog parateksta na primjeru nakladničkih biblioteka
Paratext and analysis of publisher's paratext in the context of book series

Summary/Abstract: This paper entitled Paratext and analysis of publisher's paratext in the context of book series analyzes the relationship between books, texts and readers exemplified with publishing paratexts of six Croatian book series in the period between 1969 and 1991. In his important study Paratexts: Thresholds of Interpretation (1987, 1997) Gerard Genette interpreted literary protocols that mediate between texts, readers and publishers and affect the process of reading and text reception. The paratext is the textual, printed "threshold", "lobby" or "entrance hall" of literary text, "undefined zone" or "border zone" which has become an important theoretical tool in the analysis of a particular publishing series. Genette divided the paratexts into spatial, temporal, substantial, pragmatic and functional paratexts. He also distinguishes the publisher's paratext which is in the domain of the publisher and publishing house, in addition to the authorial paratext which is controlled by the author himself.
