[Commlist] Periodicals symposium

*Visual Culture Methodologies in Periodical Studies*

*Northumbria University*

*Online Symposium, Friday 19 March*

**

Energised by the digital transformations of the twenty-first century, a 
growing field of scholarship has started to re-evaluate the significance 
of bookshops, presses, and reader networks to the history of art. But 
what does an art-historical or visual-culture approach bring to the 
already established field of periodical studies? Analysis of magazines 
and other print or digital publications has, quite logically, been 
further developed in the fields of English Literature and Book History, 
and our discipline has much to learn from those studies. However, it is 
also true that those analyses have (often) prioritised the textual over 
the visual and material, and so those fields could learn from art 
history’s methodologies. Consequently, the purpose of this symposium is 
to bring together researchers working in diverse disciplinary frameworks 
to evaluate the field, identify gaps, and reflect on what a visual 
culture approach to periodical studies might entail.

*Speakers: *Victoria Bazin (Northumbria), Samuel Bibby (Art History 
Journal), Karen di Franco (Tate / Reading), Helena Goodwyn 
(Northumbria), Melanie Waters (Northumbria), James West (Northumbria). A 
closing presentation will be delivered by Lucy Delap (Cambridge) and 
Eleanor Careless (Sussex).
