Periodicals and Periodicity (2023-)
The cross-Cluster working group “Periodicals and Periodicity” brings together diverse projects from different Research Areas dealing with periodical media and serial publishing in one way or another. The aim of this group is to move away from a conservative understanding of the periodical as a passive source of historical data, and instead critically engage with the unique formal character of periodical media and how this shapes its so-called content. Because of their specific being-in-time and the community-building potential attributed to them, periodicals serve as perfect tools to investigate (global) temporal communities, which is why their analysis touches on many of the Cluster’s core questions.
“Periodicals and Periodicity” is so far conceived of as a hands-on working group to discuss our work as well as texts on theory and methodology in an interdisciplinary setting.
