Liverpool 2016

Periodical Counter Cultures: Tradition, Conformity and Dissent

📅 Dates: 7–8 July 2016
📍 Location: Liverpool

 From the Black Dwarf to the little magazines of the European avant-gardes, from protest literature of the industrial revolution to the samizdat publications of the Soviet Bloc, from Punch to punk, periodical publications have long been associated with a challenge to dominant and mainstream culture. For ESPRit 2016 we return to this aspect of periodical culture, exploring the counter-cultural role of periodicals with particular emphasis on comparative and methodological points of view.
