Decoding the Periodical:
A Workshop in Slavic, East European and Eurasian Periodical Studies
Princeton University
Friday March 27, 2015
All panels & keynote held in 245 East Pyne.
This will be the first conference in to deeply probe the Slavic and East European periodical culture within the context of Periodical Studies, an interdisciplinary framework that foregrounds the journal, magazine or newspaper as a cultural form. The Periodical Studies approach poses questions such as: how does editorial practice, serialization, or publication in a multi-authored journal impact the production of art and literature? How do periodicals create intellectual networks that generate new ideas and a unique frame for reception? What insights can we draw from studying the distinct paratext created by periodicals: their layout, illustrations, indices, editorial columns, and letters to the editor.
