[ecrea] CFP ESPRit Conference @ LJMU 2016

Wed Oct 14 23:22:41 GMT 2015





*CALL FOR PAPERS*

The 5th International Conference of the European Society for Periodical
Research (ESPRit), www.espr-it.eu

7-8 July 2016
Liverpool John Moores University, UK

 From the /Black Dwarf/ to the little magazines of the European
avant-gardes, from protest literature of the industrial revolution to
the samizdat publications of the Soviet Bloc, from /Punch /to punk,
periodical publications have long been associated with a challenge to
dominant and mainstream culture. For ESPRit 2016 we return to this
aspect of periodical culture, exploring the counter-cultural role of
periodicals with particular emphasis on comparative and methodological
points of view. Proposals are invited on topics that include, but are
not limited to, the following areas:

·Periodicals as sites for the genesis and dissemination of
counter-cultural ideas, programmes, and manifestos

·The assimilation of periodical counter cultures into the tradition

·Theoretical and methodological approaches to the periodical as counter
culture and as establishment

·The agency of periodicals at threshold moments of social, political,
and cultural change

·Illegal and underground publications

·The interplay between established periodicals and radical newcomers

·Change and disruption in the history of long-standing periodicals

ESPRit encourages proposals that speak both within and across local,
regional and national boundaries and especially those that are able to
offer a comparative perspective. We also encourage proposals that
examine the full range of periodical culture, that is, all types of
periodical publication, including newspapers and specialist magazines,
and all aspects of the periodical as an object of study, including
design and backroom production.

Please send proposals for 20-minute papers (max 250 words), panels of
three or four papers, round tables, one-hour workshops or other suitable
sessions, together with a short CV (max. one page), to
(2016esprit /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(2016esprit /at/ gmail.com)>. *The deadline for
proposals is 25 January 2016.*
