Place and the periodical: An international conference on the regional 
magazine

University of Chester, UK, 25-26 June 2024

Keynote speakers confirmed so far

  * Professor Béatrice Joyeux-Prunel, University of Geneva, leader of
    the Visual Contagions project, studying the global circulation of
    images in the 20^th century
  * Joanne Goodwin, editor of /Cheshire Life, /the UK’s most successful
    county magazine

Magazines are usually associated with the metropolis, with capital 
cities, and with national and international movements and identities. 
But what happens to the magazine when it appears in the provinces, the 
periphery, the regions, the counties?

Equally, studies of print culture and geographical identities have 
focused mainly on the nation, occasionally on the local – but almost 
never on those administrative units between national and local: county, 
province, region, oblast, canton, département, voivodeship, federal 
state, Bundesland, etc.

Selected conference papers may be published in a planned /Edinburgh 
Companion to the Regional Magazine/ (Edinburgh University Press), 
providing a significant opportunity for scholars to develop work based 
on fresh research.

We welcome proposals on topics from any nation and any period, including 
the Anglophone nineteenth century. Do join us in the beautiful and 
ancient city of Chester.
