La bibliología es la disciplina que estudia el libro como objeto, tanto en lo histórico como en lo técnico; considera, en la historia, los materiales con que ha sido confeccionado, su tipo de encuadernación, su caligrafía, tipografía e ilustraciones. Analiza, asimismo, aspectos como la cantidad de ejemplares manuscritos o impresos de diferentes épocas, su distribución y sus destinatarios, así como la industrialización y comercialización del libro.
Esta disciplina se ha practicado en México en diversos espacios académicos a lo largo del tiempo. En junio de 2012 se fundó en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, UNAM, el Seminario Interdisciplinario de Bibliología, SIB, dentro del Instituto de Investigaciones Bibliográficas, IIB, y se convirtió en el primer espacio especializado para el desarrollo de investigaciones bibliológicas y de estudios del libro y la edición.
A diez años de la fundación de ese espacio universitario, con este ciclo de conferencias hemos querido ofrecer un panorama general e histórico de algunos de los principales temas de la historia de la cultura bibliográfica y bibliológica en México. El contenido está organizado en temas y problemas de una temporalidad amplia, distribuidos en cuatro secciones: 1. Periodo prehispánico y de contacto, 2. Periodo novohispano, 3. Siglo XIX, y 4. Siglos XX y XXI. Para impartir las once ponencias se ha invitado a destacados historiadores, historiadores del arte, conservadores y restauradores, diseñadores, tipógrafos y estudiosos de la literatura de México.
Con este ciclo queremos difundir una parte del trabajo de bibliología y estudios del libro y la edición de México a otros espacios académicos y a otras latitudes.
