Incorporating buyer resistance forces into the analytical framework of antitrust law reveals several key insights. First， the implementation of book resale price maintenance （RPM） strategies does not necessarily lead to price hike-type damages. Second， RPM lacks the conditions to impose effective vertical restraints on distributors. Third， it is difficult for publishers and distributors to enter into cartel conspiratorial behaviors. Finally， the welfare of consumers may not necessarily be reduced. It is elucidated that book resale price maintenance can curtail publishers’ double-price-raising behavior at the efficiency level， prevent dealers who are unwilling to provide pre-sale services from free-riding， and ensure a diversified supply of books and a diversified layout of bookstores at the cultural level. This should be weighed by following the analytical idea of “prohibition in principle + exemption from exceptions” . The exemption system for book resale price maintenance must be improved in four aspects: adopting a discretionary exemption model， limiting the duration and type of exemptions， clarifying the conditions for efficiency exemptions and cultural diversity exemptions， and incorporating an exemption procedure beforehand.

From the perspective of meeting the needs of students’ adaptive learning， immersive learning， intelligent tutoring， and teachers’ analysis of students’ learning situation， intelligent recommendation of resources， and intelligent teaching assistant， this paper expounds the three-tier architecture model of digital textbooks from the perspective of digital transformation of education， namely， the “data layer”“service layer”“application layer” . Relying on core services such as “knowledge mapping” “environmental perception”“artificial intelligence” “cloud computing”， a highly cohesive and loosely coupled functional application system for digital textbooks is built through five functional tools， namely “effectiveness”“information”“scenario” “evaluation”“Cognition” . Make the digitalization of teaching materials change from rich media of resources and digitalization of information organization to intelligence based on knowledge engineering. Digital teaching materials should meet the needs of the transformation and development of education informatization， and develop from providing teaching content as the main basis to providing functions and tool systems with more educational and teaching value.

To explore the application of generative AI in publishing， from the perspective of the users， this study conducted surveys（ 346 valid responses） and interviews（20 records） with industry professionals. Findings show widespread use of generative AI across publishing processes， primarily driven by its utility. Professionals reported significant performance improvements， attributed to AI’ s empowerment of cognitive stages in content generation. However， limited understanding of AI mechanisms hinders consensus on copyright and usage. While AI is expected to transform publishing， its alignment with core industry values remains uncertain.

It further compares their respective development logics and concrete practices. Based on China’ s national conditions， the study proposes suggestions including the educational philosophy for digital textbook development， a human-centered design principle for textbooks， the enhancement of teachers’ digital competencies， the refinement of digital textbook standards， and the establishment of comprehensive institutional support. The aim of this research is to draw on international experiences to propel the high-quality development of digital textbooks in China， thereby facilitating the modernization of education through the construction of high-quality digital textbooks.

Based on the privacy management theory， this study adopts the in-depth interview method to reveal individuals’ management practices regarding the privacy boundaries of digital reading traces from three progressive levels， namely privacy boundary recognition， privacy boundary coordination， and privacy boundary balance. It promotes an understanding of the dynamic relationship between individual reading behaviors and social reading interactions in the digital reading era. The study finds that privacy boundary recognition is mainly identified according to three types: users’ privacy sensitivity， the affordance of platform technologies， and the social publicity of reading. Privacy boundary coordination is negotiated through the degree of relationship， the attributes of traces， and the principle of reciprocity. On this basis， the study reflects on the hidden concerns caused by the out-of-control coordination of digital reading traces privacy boundaries and proposes optimized paths such as the privacy boundary management mechanism under the refined segmentation of social relationships， the deidentification-based classification and dilution mechanism for digital reading traces， and the multi-level negotiation mechanism for the visibility degree of digital reading traces.

Based on the application results of artificial intelligence as a general technology and its inspiration to the publishing industry， this study discusses how to use artificial intelligence to transform the traditional publishing industry into a new quality productivity， how to create a new type of cultural enterprise， etc.， and carefully explores the possibility and reality of artificial intelligence and the new quality productivity of publishing， hoping to trigger more thinking and discussion in academia and industry on artificial intelligence and the new quality productivity of publishing and even the management of the publishing industry.

Based on 258 texts of editors’ professional discourse， this paper， with the help of the grounded theoretical framework in George Rykoff’ s CMT and the manual annotation method provided by MIPVU， conducts a metaphorical analysis of editors’ daily discourse， revealing that the conceptual system on which editors’ thoughts and behaviors are based is itself based on metaphors. Editorial metaphors are ubiquitous， existing in editors’ words， rooted in their conceptual systems， and constructing their behavioral patterns in their daily work.

This study employs a mixed-method approach， combining qualitative and quantitative research， to conduct an in-depth analysis of the effects of cross-cultural communication of Chinese online literature. The findings indicate that translation challenges and cognitive levels are significant factors influencing overseas readers’ acceptance of Chinese web novels. Overseas readers are often attracted to the external cultural symbols presented in online texts， yet they display a profound rejection of the grassroots characteristics of popular culture contained within. Furthermore， they tend to overlook the deeper cultural values， leading to a disconnect between the“ form” and “quality” of Chinese online literature in cross-cultural dissemination. This study recommends enhancing the quality of online literature translation， emphasizing cultural adaptability， and raising creators’ awareness in cross-cultural communication to showcase the diverse aspects of Chinese culture. 

Starting from the policy perspective， authoritative policies， incentive policies， persuasion and encouragement policies， system change policies， and capability policies are used as indicators to analyze the foreign publishing policies of the United States， the United Kingdom， Japan， France， and Germany. The study found that the foreign publishing policies of these countries are characterized by the following features ： an authoritative policy based on cultural foreign policy; an incentive policy that eliminates or reduces value-added tax （VAT）； an encouragement policy that brings together multiple sources of special funding for publishing; a policy of systemic change that involves cross-sectoral cooperation in the promotion of innovative channels; and a policy of competence in the creation of export academy and apprenticeships for the training of foreign publishing talents. Based on this， it is proposed to implement cultural diplomacy policies and special publishing policies in parallel; provide comprehensive tax incentives and policy consulting services ； jointly provide funding with multiple forces of government and industry organizations; strengthen cross-departmental cooperation between governments and foundations to open up channels ；and carry out cross-border and cross-departmental vocational training to optimize my country’s foreign publishing policies and promote high-quality publishing going global.

Starting from Marx’ s historical materialism， this study examines the imbalances and constraints inherent in spiritual and cultural production activities， and elucidates the sources of the driving force behind the subjectivity of publishing culture. Combining Hegel’ s proposition of “being is subject”， the logical mechanism of the publishing culture subject is analyzed. It proposes that culture and publishing share a unity of subject and object， with mutual transformation between the two. Introducing the concept of “being-in-itself and being-foritself”， the dialectical process of culture and publishing is investigated. Based on this theoretical analysis， three practical insights are proposed ： fully stimulating cultural subjectivity， adhering to correct directional guidance， actively cultivating cultural talent teams， and vigorously promoting innovations in publishing technology.

The spatial and temporal distribution of mountain chronicles of Ming and Qing dynasties is unbalanced， which is closely related to the political and cultural environment of the Ming and Qing dynasties and the geo-human conditions of the mountains. In terms of compilation， the editors included officials， local scholars， and religious personnel， with various identities. It takes the preservation of history and administration， the recognition of mountains and forests， the guidance of sleeping tour， and the development of education as the purview， the text organization form is complex and diversified， and it has its own system. As far as mountain chronicles are concerned， they are mainly private engravings， with wide sources of funds， low participation in official engravings and folk systems， and are mainly circulated among gentry and religious personnel through private circulation， purchase and collection. In a word， mountain chronicles of Ming and Qing dynasties not only have a unique compilation culture， but also their publishing and circulation methods are different from the familiar local chronicles.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression， the Nationalist Government severely censored Marxist writings in the Nationalist Region through the enactment of harsh publishing regulations， the establishment of specialized censorship institutions， and the implementation of refined censorship procedures. The CPC responded positively by adopting appropriate measures at all stages of dissemination， promoting the publication， distribution and circulation of Marxist works by promoting the professionalization of publishing institutions， building a detailed book distribution network and accurately clearing up obstruction points in the dissemination of works， and so on. This battle between the censorship of Marxist writings and the breakout of Marxism was an important symptom of the ideological game between the Nationalists and the Communists during the War of Resistance， in which Marxism was more widely disseminated， exerted an important influence， and finally became “the best weapon for the liberation of our nation”.

As an emerging productive force driving the digital transformation of the audio publishing industry， AI speech synthesis technology is not only reshaping production models and industrial ecosystems but also engendering three critical legal risks ： the protection of personality rights， copyright compliance， and data security governance. A comparative legal analysis indicates that the United States has developed a multilayered legislative framework to effectively mitigate risks， whereas the European Union has adopted a unified legislative approach to enhance transparency regulation and platform accountability. Drawing upon foreign regulatory experiences and integrating them with China’ s governance imperatives， this study proposes a composite legal framework based on the tripartite structure of“ rights definition–regulatory adaptation–risk prevention.” This framework entails establishing the independent legal status of voice rights and refining the criteria for infringement determination， formulating compliance regulations for the use and dissemination of copyrighted content， and strengthening security governance in the collection， storage， and cross-platform sharing of voice data. Simultaneously， proactive international cooperation should be pursued through the establishment of transnational regulatory mechanisms to address global governance challenges. By fostering the convergence of domestic regulatory frameworks with international legal mechanisms， this approach seeks to provide a robust institutional safeguard for the sustainable and orderly development of the audio publishing industry.

Based on the three-dimensional framework of“ tools-stages-effectiveness”， this paper adopts the content analysis method to analyze the content of 244 digital publishing industrial policies published in China from 2006 to 2023. The results show that the overall distribution of policy tools is imbalanced， and the internal structure is out of order; the policy theme in different stages continues to deepen， but the cooperation of the policy subjects need to be strengthened; the overall policy effectiveness is on the low side， and the policy system needs to be improved. Subsequent policy adjustments should coordinate the proportion of the three types of policy tools and balance the internal structure of policy tools; promote the diversification of policy subjects and governance subjects， and improve the governance system of the digital publishing industry; improve the effectiveness of policies， and build a“ 1+N” policy system to promote the synergistic power of industrial policies.

This study, grounded in affordance theory, systematically analyzes the media logic of“ China-Style” anime IP, and while delving into its content narrative, media narrative, and the communication ecosystem within the industrial chain under transmedia contexts, based on the inherent mechanisms of anime IP’ s transmedia storytelling. The research reveals that guided by affordance logic, the content narrative of“ Chinese-style” anime IP focuses on cultural construction within storyworlds, employing multidimensional narrative strategies including character empathy, shared values, and the construction of participants’ social relationships to shape deep-level interactions between IP and audiences. Furthermore, the media narrative of“ Chinese-style” anime IP has evolved from traditional unidirectional linear communication models to contemporary transmedia dissemination paradigms. This transformation not only facilitates cross-border circulation of classic Chinese symbolic elements across media platforms but also enhances IP circulation and value realization within industrial chains.

Through in-depth interviews with 15 publishing practitioners across the country， it is found that AIGC is intrinsically related to the publishing industry in terms of the logic of content generation and creativity， the logic of information integration and knowledge base， and the logic of natural interaction and humanization. Based on their own perception of the materiality and mediation of technology， publishing practitioners have formed an attitude of anticipation and hesitation ： the systematic upgrading of content production， organization and service driven by technology ； the migration of publishing forms and business paradigms; and the reconstruction of human-machine relationship， content-channel relationship， and cost-benefit relationship. The imagination of epoche has become an important part of AIGC’ s availability， and will affect the path， process and result of AIGC’ s integration into the traditional publishing industry ： the imagination of efficient production of material content guides the path of AIGC’ s integration into the traditional publishing industry; the imagination of innovation and iteration of intermediary experience affects the process of AIGC’ s integration into the traditional publishing industry ； human-computer interaction with emotion is expected to be systematically upgraded. The imagination of human-computer inter-construction of emotions and attitudes determines the results of AIGC’ s integration into the traditional publishing industry.

Guided by the information ecology theory framework, this study incorporates six antecedent variables: organization support and society influence from the environmental dimension, self-efficacy and personal innovation from the individual dimension, and content satisfaction and perceived credibility from the content dimension. The data from 1114 survey respondents were analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis and qualitative comparative analysis to examine the importance of factors from various dimensions and to determine the configuration effects of factors influencing AIGC adoption behavior. The results of the hierarchical regression analysis indicate that enterprise support, community influence, self-efficacy, personal innovation, content satisfaction, and perceived credibility all have a significant positive impact on content adoption behavior. The relative importance of the three dimensions is as follows: content, individual, and environmental. The configuration path analysis reveals four configuration paths formed by the combination of the six antecedent variables, resulting in three cross-dimensional combination patterns: individual-content, environment-individual-content, and environment-content. The study finds that content dimension factors ultimately determine the adoption behavior of professionals towards AIGC, with self-efficacy and perceived credibility playing a key role in the adoption decision-making process.

This study proposes the“ Octagonal Star Training Model” for publishing talents, underpinned by three core pillars: literacy, knowledge, and competencies. Good literacy supported by professional qualities, political commitment, and professional ethics constitutes the soul of publishing talents. Essential knowledge surrounding publishing content, operations and management and technology provides nourishment for these talents. Comprehensive competencies for pursuing truth, goodness, and beauty enhance the overall quality of publishing talents. The “Octagonal Star Training Model”, with its interconnected and mutually supportive elements, must be implemented in a practice-oriented manner to effectively contribute to the cultivation of publishing talents．

This article explores the application of digitalization and internationalization in China’ s publishing industry, using the insights and practices of Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press（FLTRP）as a focal point.

Through detailed case studies, the article examines FLTRP’ s explorations and innovations in these areas, including the development of digital educational products, the expansion of international partnerships, and the use of digital technologies to empower culture “going global”. On this basis, the article further proposes the establishment of a mechanism to ensure the synergy of digitalization and internationalization, emphasizing the importance of institutional innovation and enhanced data governance to achieve strategic goals. The article aims to provide references and models for the globalization of China’ s publishing industry, showcasing how digitalization and internationalization can enhance publishers’ competitiveness, and offering valuable insights for the industry’ s development.

The article proposes that constructing an independent knowledge system for Chinese publishing studies requires adhering to the integration of Marxism and excellent traditional Chinese culture， proceeding from the realities of China’ s publishing industry， and excavating new materials， discovering new problems， proposing new viewpoints， and constructing new theories. At the same time， it is necessary to broadly draw upon the experience of China’ s outstanding publishing culture， making it the cornerstone of the edifice of an independent knowledge system. Based on contemporary Chinese publishing practices， it should build the skeleton and trunk of the independent knowledge system for publishing studies， forming the main supports of the independent knowledge system for Chinese publishing studies．

In order to deeply analyze the difficulties of human-computer relationship in the current intelligent publishing, this paper firstly compares the difference between the ANT and the unity of tool and principle from the historical origin, and puts forward the concept of“ the unity of tool and principle” in the ancient technology philosophy of our country as a higher-dimensional direction to guide the development of the publishing industry, under the premise of confirming the reasonableness of the“ human-machine equality”. Subsequently, combined with the specific practice of the publishing process, the article suggests that the current production, proofreading and distribution of the“ human-machine” respectively show the characteristics of competition, complementary, intertwined relationship, and in the actual operation of the exposure of a variety of problems and defects. Therefore, the debugging standard of human-computer relationship should return to the inherent compliance of“ the unity of tool and principle”： clarifying the aesthetic connotation in the technology iteration, enriching the value point in the technology comparison, abiding by the industry standard in the technology change, and calibrating the technology advancement in the realistic needs.
