[Commlist] Periodicals symposium

Thu Feb 11 19:32:57 GMT 2021





*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).
