Serial Circulation

Ort: Seminarzentrum Campus Unteres Schloss

This international conference, to be hosted at the University of
Siegen (Germany) from June 15-17, 2023, envisions the nexus of
periodical print publication and serial storytelling as a decisive
factor for the emergence of (trans-)national modernities since the 18th
century. Taking the notion of serial circulation – of forms and formats,
styles and contents, goods and people – as a starting point for
investigating intersections of print cultures across borders and
periods, the conference invites scholars from various disciplines and
theoretical backgrounds to share their insights and present their work
on these and related issues.

The orienting concept for the conference is serial circulation.
This concept connects Mark. W. Turner’s view of the 19th century as an
expanding yet unruly “culture of seriality” (2019) with Stephen
Greenblatt’s New Historicist notion of circulating “social energy”
(1988) and Benjamin Lee & Edward LiPuma’s conception of the modern
public sphere as “cultures of circulation” (2002), where circulation is
defined as “a cultural process with its own forms of abstraction,
evaluation, and constraint, which are created by the interactions
between specific types of circulating forms and the interpretive
communities built around them” (2002: 192).
