Meeting Description:

6th International Conference of the European Society for Periodical Research

Conflict is at the core of periodical publishing. Disputes constructed and
played out on the periodical stage have been periodical themselves, recurring,
though under different names and formats, in different periods from the
eighteenth-century to the present day.  There is often an inherently militant
aspect to the promulgation of ideologies in the periodical press. However, the
spectacularization of conflict accompanying recent events - the in/out
rhetoric of Brexit reporting and the representation of some policies on
immigration, for instance - has made this key feature of the periodical press
particularly visible and urgent. The 2017 ESPRit Conference seeks to explore
from interdisciplinary perspectives (literary, linguistic, historical,
political, sociological, etc.) how the periodical press mediates and
remediates conflicts, including how verbal and visual devices on the
periodicals' pages enact conflict. 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.  


Call for Papers:

Proposals are invited that deal with, but are not limited to, the following
topics:

- Staging conflicts: mediating political, cultural, aesthetic, social, moral
disputes
- The performance of conflict in periodicals: manifestos, monographic issues,
provocations and replies.
- The grammar of conflict: e.g., use in different periods of verbal rhetoric
such as refutation, climax/anticlimax, irony, dos and don'ts, etc. 
- Visual rhetoric of conflict: e.g., use of black and white, contrasting
colours, positive and negative pictures, captions, vectors in the page layout,
etc. 
- Dictating socio-cultural agendas: factions and fashions.
- Cultural values and generational conflict. 
- Militancy, mediation and re-mediation.
- Translation as a symptom of cultural conflict.
- Conflict as affect and/or entertainment.
- The business or commerce of conflict
- Possibilities and limits of dialogic rhetoric in periodicals.
- Views, not news? The seduction of ideas and the role of public opinion, with
particular reference to the representation of or reporting on legal cases,
referendums and opinion polls.

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  2017esprit at gmail.com The
deadline for proposals is 31 January 2017.
