Hanjo Berressem's Ökologien des Lesens is the fifth volume (of ten total anticipated volumes) in the Transcript Verlag book series Wie Wir Lesen -Zur Geschichte, Praxis und Zukunft einer Kulturtechnik. This series was based on the 2018 conference by the same name ("Wie Wir Lesen") hosted at the Literaturhaus München by the Amerika-Institut of the LMU München and the Stiftung Literaturhaus. At no more than 150 pages total, each slim book in the series contains an extended essay based on a conference contribution, with topics ranging from reading as social practice and the future of book culture to text-image interactions.
