CFP: Writing, Editing and Reading Periodicals (grad) (UK) (4/21/03; 6/20/03)

“Rigid boundaries of space and time”: Writing, Editing
and Reading Periodicals
Postgraduate Conference
20 June 2003
Birkbeck College and Institute of English Studies
University of London
Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU

This conference is intended to explore theoretical
approaches to the study of periodicals and to
publicize the work of postgraduate students in this
field. We are most interested in papers that engage in
debates about periodicals as a genre or any other
theoretical discourses, but papers that explore
material primarily published in periodicals are also
welcome. Papers may be based on any time period or
genre. The plenary speaker will be Laurel Brake,
author of Subjugated Knowledges: Journalism, Gender
and Literature in the Nineteenth Century and Print in
Transition, 1850-1910: Studies in Media and Book
History.

Topics may include, but are not limited to the
following:
Theoretical approaches (eg, Bakhtinian, Foucauldian,
semiotic, feminist)
Analyses of the role of editor, reader, publisher
Serialization and time
Visual culture and contexts

Presentations should be 15-20 minutes in length.
Proposals of no more than 500 words and audio-visual
requests should be sent by 21 April 2003 to:
lauriegarrison_at_yahoo.co.uk or jimmussell_at_hotmail.com
