- Abstract
Determining the concept of a book clearly is a challenge, since the object has been greatly modified throughout its existence, also considering its precedents, such as the parchment roll, and its current virtual versions; e-books, without exclusive support, both in terms of devices and the graphic design itself. Here, we raise a provocation about the essence of a book, that is, what allows us to recognize it as a book. We raise the problem of a circular definition and approach its definition with the support of Theseus' paradox and the theory of Wicked Problems of Rittel and Webber. Our goal is to encourage reflection on the objects of our work, as designers, editors and researchers of books, and to question ourselves if mastering a definition could impact our crafts, in terms of fluidity, precision and creativity.
