Cardiff University, UK, September 15 & 16, 2005
The two-day symposium, "Mapping the Magazine: 2", seeks to bring together
researchers and practitioners from all disciplines with an interest in
magazines and periodical journalism. Papers which map this fast-changing
field or foster new research directions are particularly welcome, as is
cross-disciplinary work. The symposium seeks to develop international
research networks within the field and will build on the success of the
first symposium held in 2003. The magazine publishing industry will have a
presence.
We invite expression of interest in relation to the following topics:
History of magazines
Magazines and culture
Magazine audiences
Feminist critique of magazines
Magazine design and advertising
Digital magazines, e-zines and blogs

Papers will be delivered in 20 minute sessions, with 10 minutes
discussion time after each paper.
