This approach is \nintended to encompass all visual aspects of periodicals, including \ntypography, covers, format, illustration, fine and avant garde art, \ncartoons, advertising copy, photojournalism, fashion, portraiture, \nillustrated travel accounts and ethnographic studies, religious imagery,\n propaganda and all other dimensions of the visual culture of the \nprinted page. Of particular interest are the development and use of new \nprint technologies for the reproduction of images, the juxtapositions or\n interactions of imagery and text (at the level of the page or the \nopening, the issue or the series), the evolution of visual tropes\/memes \n(for example in propaganda and advertising), innovation in design, the \nemergence of new markets, studies of reader reception of and engagement \nwith visual cultures, the formal (legal) or informal (editorial) \nregulation of the printed image, and the influence of periodical \nillustration on art and photography more broadly and on the use of \nimagery in the daily press in particular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\n conference will draw on and enhance the current Greek Press History \nWorkshop (ETMIET)\/ Research Centre for Modern Greece (KENI), Panteion \nUniversity research project on Greek twentieth-century popular print \nthat seeks to establish the first fully-comprehensive archive of \nperiodicals in Greece, in collaboration with the Journalists\u2019 Union of \nPeriodical and Electronic Press (ESPIT), and the National Library of \nGreece. Further dimensions that arise from the particular Greek \nexperience, and which invite broader international comparative \nperspectives, include: (a) the relationships between the uses of imagery\n in the periodical literature of metropoles and diasporas; and (b) an \nexploration of the methodologies and the political economies of \nperiodicals research, particularly under the current global \ncircumstances of austerity for the Humanities in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\n Conference theme itself will be illustrated with appropriate \nexhibitions and pop-up displays, for which a wider audience is also \nunder consideration, including schools, in order to leave a more lasting\n legacy for the people of Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proposals\n for 20-minute papers on any aspect of the visual culture of \nperiodicals, of any period or region, are invited for the 8th Conference\n of European Society for Periodical Research (ESPRit), which will be \nheld in Athens in September 2019. Accepted proposals will be grouped \ninto broadly congruent thematic panels, normally with three speakers in \neach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subjects may include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>illustrations<\/li><li>cartoons<\/li><li>formats<\/li><li>title and font design<\/li><li>advertising<\/li><li>photojournalism<\/li><li>fashion<\/li><li>portraiture<\/li><li>travel accounts<\/li><li>ethnographic studies<\/li><li>religious imagery<\/li><li>propaganda<\/li><li>the presence of periodicals (production, distribution or consumption) in visual culture more broadly<\/li><li>and other dimensions of the printed image<\/li><li>of\n particular interest are juxtapositions or interactions of imagery and \ntext \u2013 either at the level of the page or the opening, the issue or the \nseries.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In\n addition, we intend to organise specific workshop sessions on Greek \nperiodicals and visual culture, consisting of panels and group proposals\n relating to, for example, covers, advertisements, layout etc. We also \ninvite proposals for two atelier sessions, one for MA and PhD \ncandidates, the other focused on a regionally-based \u2018state of the \ndiscipline\u2019 panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\n conference will draw on and enhance the current Greek Press History \nWorkshop (ETMIET)\/ Research Centre for Modern Greece (KENI), Panteion \nUniversity research project on Greek twentieth-century popular print \nthat seeks to establish the first fully-comprehensive archive of \nperiodicals in Greece, in collaboration with the Journalists\u2019 Union of \nPeriodical and Electronic Press (ESPIT), and the National Library of \nGreece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\n working language of the conference is English and Greek.
