Moreover, there were hardly any literary institutions and publishers at the time and consequently only a very limited literary scene. In the 1960s, however, a young generation of relatively unknown authors started to challenge the dominant discourses and traditional formats by introducing new forms and topics into the literary system. At the same time, literary journals were founded, which allowed these authors to publish their texts and to present themselves to the public. An analysis of their programmes and publication practices shows that these – mostly ephemeral – journals not only contributed to the expansion of the literary repertoire but also had an important impact on the professionalization of Luxembourg literature in general. Against this backdrop, the article describes the crucial role of these journals in the development of the literary system as a whole and argues that aesthetic and institutional systemic shifts are always interdependent.","PeriodicalId":142850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of European Periodical Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129465370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Wide World Magazine was a British illustrated magazine with almost exclusive male authorship and a powerful slogan: ‘truth is greater than fiction’. By means of Multimodal Discourse Analysis, the paper focuses on both photographs and illustrations in order to analyse the British gaze towards Greece at the time. At the same time, through representations of Greeks as the Other, the British travellers engage in their own identity construction. The material demonstrates a shift from the travellers’ preoccupation with the country’s classical past to what they think of a more authentic Greece. It also reveals a change in the attitude of the travellers, who distinguish themselves from tourists and see themselves rather as ethnographers. Finally, considering the complex relations between Greece and the United Kingdom, these representations of Greece will be linked to British political interests.","PeriodicalId":142850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of European Periodical Studies","volume":"468 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115441730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally published bimonthly between 1908 and 1941, Nyugat contained both the latest works by twentieth-century literary greats as well as the essays, critiques, debates, artwork, and music originating from Hungary’s varied intellectual life. Given the staggering wealth of texts that appeared in Nyugat throughout its nearly four-decade career, my analysis will mainly concentrate upon the marginalia (advertisements, notifications, bulletins, eulogies, etc.) that were published in the journal’s early period between 1908 and 1914 before concluding with a brief foray into 1925. I contend that examining the presence of texts such as these is a possible method for mapping the links between a periodical’s editors and its editorship. In this case, Nyugat’s editorship can be extended to include the mainly Jewish factory owners who were members of GyOSz, an industrial lobby organization that strove to modernize Hungarian industry between 1902 and 1948. Tracing the relationship between Nyugat and GyOSz via the network of means that connected the two organizations allows for a new perspective upon how a periodical formation interacts with and adjusts to a non-literary influence.","PeriodicalId":142850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of European Periodical Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129599460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Implementing qualitative content analysis this article is differentiated from what has been published in JEPS and opens a new stream of thought and research with regards to the periodical press, as it sets in the centre of the examination the 21st-century newspaper periodicals and adopts a social sciences perspective and methodology. The findings provide evidence of the content of 21st-century periodicals during an election campaign and reinforce the distinctiveness of periodical press as a cultural object and not simply as a means to distribute information. The analysis illustrates that newspaper periodicals in the contemporary era constitute cultural objects that are autonomous and have certain policy lines. It further provides insights in order to understand better liberal values, such as the free speech and the freedom of the press and to clarify the understanding of the practice of journalism in the newspaper press and of the self-regulation by the press. This article supports that newspaper periodicals remain valuable for historical research and essential in order to clarify the understanding of the functioning of the newspaper press industry. It further suggests that periodicals constitute key resources for restoring, at any time, the miscellany of conditions and circumstances that characterise different eras and various historical, social, and political moments.

Embedded in a larger project on (literary) journals and their role in the shaping of a proto-Belgian literature before 1830, this article presents the case study of a short-lived Brussels periodical, founded by the French émigré Jean-Baptiste Lesbroussart (1747-1818). With his Journal littéraire et politique des Pays-Bas autrichiens (1786), Lesbroussart created a literary journal that presented itself as fundamentally reader-oriented. By taking into consideration Lesbroussart’s agency as a cultural mediator, we lay bare three levels of mediation informing his Journal: (1) his institutional mediatorship, or the entanglement of the networks in which he was involved, his intended readership, and the didactic goals of his journal; (2) his aesthetic and ideological mediatorship, meaning the structure and composition of his journal as well as the editorial strategies revealing a reader-oriented strategy; and (3) his cultural mediatorship, or his self-defined role as translator and the emphasis he puts on transfer and translation as means of cultural identity construction. By doing so, our case-study provides a first stepping-stone towards a more encompassing study, and thus it enables new insights into the circulation, production, and networks of eighteenth-century literary culture in the Southern Netherlands.","PeriodicalId":142850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of European Periodical Studies","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126778189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
