Abstract:

How book editors participate in editing practice is a basic theoretical problem in the

study of editing and publishing science. From the perspective of cultural intermediaries theory

and Maguire’s “three dimensions” of cultural intermediaries, this paper analyzes the complex

cultural production practice of “book-doing” in literary book editing based on the “editor’s

Notes” written by 48 literary book editors reflecting the editing process. It is found that literary

book editors generally complete the material production, symbolic production and legitimate

production in the linear process of construction practice, knowledge practice and influence

practice in the complex balancing art of the mixed logic of aesthetic logic and market logic.

The results show that as a result of cultural practice of both material and symbolic production,

books are “done” by editors rather than “written” by writers. The product of writer’s practice is

the work, and the product of editing practice is the book. Book editor is a highly active “cultural

intermediaries” rather than a functional “gatekeeper” in the production of literary books.
