Balancing Interests: Reimagining Legal Deposit in Latvia’s Dynamic Publishing Field [Webinar paper]
The current Legal Deposit Law of Latvia entered into force in mid-2006. While it can be considered relatively progressive for the time it was written, we at the National Library of Latvia are increasingly aware of how it no longer suffices in the ever-changing field of publishing, sometimes limiting our ability to acquire and preserve certain publications and other times creating unnecessary burden for publishers. Therefore, we will share the main points regarding the updates to the Law we are actively working to implement, especially regarding legal deposit regulations of digital publications, including production files, multi-media publications, publications by trade publishers, web-based content, etc. Inseparable from these developments is our ongoing work with the heterogenous publishing community, including in the form of feedback to the legal amendments proposed by us, which has led us to some takeaways we aspire to implement as part of an extensive communication campaign we are designing to target new publishers and groups of publishers that are typically more challenging to work with in particular to foster a more positive perception of the concept of the legal deposit system shifting the focus from legal duties to the idea of individual and common good.

THE ROMANCE-EROTIC NOVELS OF ELZA BUDAU
Diplomska naloga obravnava ljubezensko-erotična romana Diagram neke ljubezni in Ljubezen v f-molu avtorice Elze Budau. Na začetku diplomske naloge so razloženi pojmi, s katerimi lahko povezujemo romana: ženski roman, ljubezenski roman in trivialna literatura. V nadaljevanju naloge sem predstavila avtorico, potem sem se osredinila na analizo romanov. Analiza za vsak roman je vsebovala obnovo romana, opis glavnega ženskega lika, osredinila sem se tudi na ženske in moške vloge v romanu in na tematsko analizo vsakega romana. Za utemeljitev tem, ki sem jih odkrila v romanih, sem vključila tudi citate iz njih. Obravnavala sem tudi moški pogled na avtorico v intervjujih, ki sem jih našla.
V drugem delu diplomske naloge sem primerjala roman Elze Budau Ljubezen v f-molu z romanom Strah pred letenjem ameriške pisateljice Erice Jong, ki sem jo v nadaljevanju tudi predstavila. Obravnavala sem pomen obeh romanov in namenila razdelek avtobiografskosti obeh romanov. V sklepnem delu diplomske naloge sem se še dotaknila vprašanja, ali spada roman Strah pred letenjem v trivialno književnost.The thesis deals with the romance-erotic novels A diagram of some love and Love in f-mol written by Elza Budau. At the begining there are the explanations of terms which we associate with the novels: women\u27s literature, romantic literature and popular literature. In the continuation of the work I wrote about the author, and then focused on analysis of the novels. The analysis for each novel contains the summary of the novel, the description of the main female character, the male and female role in the novel and the analysis of themes in each novel, in which I also included quotations from the novels, which serve as a justification for each recognized theme. I also decided to write about the male view on the female author based on interviews I have found.
In the second part of the thesis I compared Budau\u27s novel Ljubezen v f-molu with a novel by American author Erica Jong Fear of flying. I also wrote about the importance of the novels, about the author Erica Jong, the autobiographical characteristics of both novels and touched upon the question whether or not the novel Fear of flying is popular literature

A mulher no fim do mundo : identidade da mulher negra no discurso das biografias jornalísticas de Elza Soares
Biographies have a close relationship with history and literature, but they also represent a
cultural corpus and an editorial market that has been strengthened by the inclusion of journalism
in these productions, generating reflections from this third field as well. In this context, this
dissertation analyzes the discursive practice in the journalistic biographies of Brazilian singer
Elza Soares, based on the following guiding question: How do the two biographies of Elza
Soares (Louzeiro, 1997; Camargo, 2018) reflect the discursive elaboration of race and gender
identity? As an investigative method, three levels of observation are proposed, ranging from
the search for an understanding of historical and cultural contexts of the object to the
interpretation of statements that allow for the investigation of the black woman’s identity as a
discursive regularity (Foucault, 2008). To navigate this, we resort to multidisciplinary
reflections on narrative (Martinez, 2016; Motta, 2022; Silva, 2005), identity (Bauman, 2005;
Hall, 2006; Woodward, 1997) and intersectionality (Hirata, 2014; Akotirene, 2018; Crenshaw,
2002), in addition to the innovative perspectives of Almeida (2020), Hooks (2019a; 2019b;
2020) and Kilomba (2019). At the end of the investigation, it is observed that the biographical
narratives showed deviations in discourse instruments such as the choice of approaches in
thematic trajectories, the use of sources, and the interference of the biographer/author, in
addition to the categories of transparency and extraordinariness (Vilas-Boas, 2008). On the
other hand, when approaching the story of Elza Soares, the narratives also demonstrated
socially constructed regularities about the identity of the black woman, implicated by a
structure of colonialist patriarchy that tries to keep black women in roles linked to the idea of
otherness: the other sexual object, the other exotic, the other subservient, the other to care for.
In this sense, Elza’s uniqueness is exalted by transgressing this historically constructed
imaginary, but always at the cost of oppression such as internalized guilt that demands
compensation/remission from those who infringe it. Despite the objectification/dehumanization
that black women must confront, they develop their own discourse in order to occupy the
position of a subject - the one who develops their own identity.NenhumaAs biografias têm estreita relação com a história e a literatura, mas também representam um
corpus cultural e mercado editorial que se fortaleceu com a adesão do jornalismo a essas
produções, gerando reflexões a partir desse terceiro campo também. Nesse contexto, a
dissertação analisa a prática discursiva nas biografias jornalísticas da cantora brasileira Elza
Soares, a partir da seguinte questão norteadora: Como as duas biografias de Elza Soares
(Louzeiro, 1997; Camargo, 2018) refletem a elaboração discursiva da identidade de raça e de
gênero? Como método investigativo, propõe-se três níveis de observação, que vão da busca
pela compreensão de contextos históricos e culturais do objeto até a interpretação de enunciados
que permitam investigar a identidade da mulher negra enquanto regularidade discursiva
(Foucault, 2008). Para este navegar, recorremos a reflexões multidisciplinares sobre narrativa
(Martinez, 2016; Motta, 2022; Silva, 2005), identidade (Bauman, 2005; Hall, 2006; Woodward,
1997) e interseccionalidade (Hirata, 2014; Akotirene, 2018; Crenshaw, 2002), além dos olhares
inovadores de Almeida (2020), Hooks (2019a; 2019b; 2020) e Kilomba (2019). Ao final da
investigação, percebe-se que as narrativas biográficas demonstraram afastamentos em
instrumentos do discurso, como as escolhas de abordagens em trajetos temáticos, o recurso das
fontes e a interferência do biógrafo/autor, além das categorias da transparência e da
extraordinariedade (Vilas-Boas, 2008). Já quanto a aproximações, ao contar a história de Elza
Soares, as narrativas também demonstraram regularidades socialmente construídas sobre a
identidade da mulher negra, implicada por um estrutura do patriarcado colonialista que tenta
manter a/s mulher/es negra/s em identidades ligadas à ideia de outridade: o outro objeto sexual,
o outro exótico, o outro subserviente, o outro a cuidar. Nesse sentido, a singularidade de Elza
é exaltada a partir da transgressão a este imaginário construído historicamente, porém sempre
ao custo da opressão como a culpa internalizada que exige uma compensação / remissão por
quem a infringe. Apesar da objetificação / desumanização que a mulher negra precisa enfrentar,
ela desenvolve seu próprio discurso a fim de ocupar o lugar de sujeito – aquele que desenvolve
sua própria identidade
