Inhalt:
In recent years, the scholarly attention to print culture, the history of the book and digital humanities created a new awareness of the importance of serialized media in American history and culture. Under the umbrella term "periodical studies," scholars begin to focus on newspapers, magazines, and journals circulating in the Atlantic World from the colonial period to the present. Meanwhile, periodical studies has turned into an automomous field of research setting into dialogue literary and culture studies, material and visual studies as well as media and communication studies, with translation studies still largely ignored, but waiting to be included. As periodicals played a key role in addressing diverse audiences and their hunger for entertainment, news, and knowledge, periodical studies can build upon an expansive archive of serialized publications given the periodicals' dense texture resulting from multiple authorships, editorial and layout strategies, print businesses, content, advertisement, distribution and subscription, etc., this graduate seminar will raise questions about how to decode and theorize periodicals. In addition, it will explore the textual communities evolving from periodicals, specific networks and forms of agency between consumers and producers. From a historical perspective (1800s to the present), we will also study different periodical genres in fields such as literature, religion, sports, politics, and popular culture to understand periodicals not as containers of messages but as mediators of social and cultural change. Finally, we will also explore recent transformations from off-line to online periodicals.
