\"\"Periodicals and Belonging<\/strong><\/p>\n

27-29 June 2023<\/span><\/p>\n

Leeds School of Arts, Leeds Beckett University, UK<\/span><\/p>\n

ESPRit 2023 conference will be held in Leeds, UK, on the theme of\u00a0Periodicals and Belonging<\/i><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This fruitful and timely theme is designed to encourage discussions and collaborations on the ways that ideas, emotions, declarations and imaginings, of belonging or not belonging, manifest in relation to periodical production and reception.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The notion of belonging to a family, a local culture, a national, regional and international group, or a diaspora, including a host of cultural and political ideas, is intrinsic to periodical studies, as is research on communities of\u00a0<\/span>authors\/contributors,<\/span>\u00a0readers, literature and the arts, history, cultural history, linguistics, sociology and memory studies amongst other disciplines. Constitutive to\u00a0belonging<\/b>, is the notion of\u00a0not belonging<\/b>, and as such, we are interested in exploring themes of exclusion, forms of othering, racialisation, agonism and conflict.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The conference aims to further problematise concepts of association and organisation such as communities (e.g. \u2018imagined communities\u2019, \u2018interpretive communities\u2019), groups etc., to periodical readerships; enquire into notions of belonging as oppression (periodical policing of boundaries, identities or stereotypes); the use of belonging in marketing\/advertising of periodicals, and the role of labour in periodical production (e.g., staff who belong loyally to one publication versus freelance journalists who sell their labour to many titles). Lastly, the conference will consider periodicals as visual and material objects that belong to certain places and spaces (e.g., when used as props or symbols by artists, photographers, film directors and others, or in dentists\u2019 waiting rooms), as well as in circulation and movement across geopolitical locations and chronological periods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are particularly interested in exploring:<\/span><\/p>\n
