CALL FOR PAPERS

/Periodicals Across Europe/

9-10 December 2011

Keynote speakers

Professor Sophie Levie (Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen)

Professor Barbara Mittler (Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg)

Dr Sascha Bru (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven)

The conference will be held at The Burgess Foundation
<http://www.anthonyburgess.org/>, Manchester.

To mark the foundation of the European Society for Periodical Research
(ESPRit) <http://www.ru.nl/esprit/>, the Centre for Periodicals Research
<http://www.espach.salford.ac.uk/page/periodicals> at the University of
Salford is hosting the /Periodicals Across Europe/ Conference on 9-10
December 2011. The theme of the conference is the comparative study of
European periodicals and periodical cultures, and the conference
organizers now welcome proposals for contributions.

We take ‘periodical’ in its widest sense to mean magazines, journals,
newspapers and any other form of serial publication. ‘Comparative study’
is equally broadly defined. The conference aims to consider the
differences or similarities in periodical cultures between European
nations and languages; between historical periods; and between European
and non-European periodical cultures. The organizers anticipate that
this comparison will arise from the juxtaposition of papers, so
individual papers need not be explicitly comparative. Topics for
proposals may include, but are by no means limited to

    * Periodicals and national culture
    * Internationalization of and in periodicals
    * Trans-European periodical culture
    * Europe seen from abroad in periodicals
    * The language of periodicals
    * Cultural exchanges between periodicals
    * Periodical genres (such as the illustrated newspaper; satiric,
      fiction or poetry magazines; the review; the woman’s magazine;
      little magazines; trade journals)
    * Imitation/Influence/Borrowing in periodical culture
    * Periodicals and print and image technologies

While we welcome proposals in any of these areas, we seek especially
work on non-Anglophone and/or post-1900 periodicals. While the study of
nineteenth-century Anglophone periodicals is well-established, part of
ESPRit’s mission is to open up periodical research beyond this field.

Proposals of no more than 250 words should be sent to

_Deadline: 11 July 2011._
