MEDIAMORPHOSIS: PRINT CULTURE AND TRANSATLANTIC PUBLIC SPHERE(S), 1880-1940
University of Delaware, September 9-10, 2011
www.udel.edu/mediamorphosis
This two–day symposium will provide a forum for literary scholars,
historians, media historians, and art historians to share
works–in–progress on the transformations of print media and
transatlantic public spheres at the turn of the twentieth century. The
symposium will:
· advance understanding of print culture's role in this period's
movements for racial, class, and gender equality and of the
relationship between print culture, empire, and cross-cultural
(transatlantic, transnational) writing, reading, and publishing;
· bring the theories and methods of material culture studies to bear
on the analysis of print artifacts as "objects" or "things."
On view on Friday, September 9, will be "Periodicals Across the Pond,"
a special display drawn from the University of Delaware Library's
Special Collections and from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, on
loan to the University of Delaware Library.
Hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences’ Interdisciplinary
Humanities Research Center, this symposium is also supported by: the
Center for Material Culture Studies, the Departments of Black American
Studies, English, and Women’s Studies, the University of Delaware
Library, the Institute for Global Studies, the University Faculty
Senate Committee on Cultural Activities and Public Events (CAPE), and
the Delaware Humanities Forum.
Registration is free.
