From our most recent issue:
In Time: Periodical Theories and Philosophies of History in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

Throughout modern history, concepts and metaphors of time have been part of the self-conception and self-marketing of countless periodicals. Concentrating on journals and magazines from the German-speaking countries between around 1800 and around 1968, the article outlines a history of the periodical as a subject and object of philosophies of historical time. The cases examined not only show the affinity between periodical theory and the philosophy of history, but also shed light on the specific roles that have been attributed to periodical publishing in varying conceptions of the modern intellectual public sphere.

Outside the Mainstream Press: Language, Materiality, and Temporality in Microzines

This article examines aesthetic strategies employed in the modernist little magazine and contemporary independent magazines. Language, materiality, and temporality are found to be key elements for experimental multimodal expressions challenging mainstream periodical cultures. In order to emphasize parallels between precarious, noncommercial, and innovative micro-publishing practices of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, we propose to use the term ‘microzine’. In three case studies, we offer analyses of linguistic defamiliarization, typography and design, and the representation of temporal experiences of migrancy to highlight the entanglement of aesthetic strategies as well as their persistence over time. This comparison of the Little Review (1914–29), NXS (2017–2022), and Burnt Roti (2016–) opens up possibilities to view disparate non-mainstream magazine projects as potent incubatory spaces for new magazinal assemblages.

From our most recent issue:
From Pure Art to Sheer Luxury: Magazines as Ornamental Constellations and the Emergence of Aesthetic Capitalism in the Early Twentieth Century

The concept of ‘ornamental constellations’ introduced in the following article highlights the structural relationships of decorative elements and miscellaneous content in magazines and the importance of the reader’s perspective for their interpretation. ‘Ornamental constellations’ are considered one of the most important media devices of emerging aesthetic capitalism, as they produce economies of attention and affect and establish a visual connection between the basic concept of a magazine, its individual contributions, and the readership addressed, thus promoting a specific aesthetic lifestyle. Their respective staging value is illustrated by analysing two complementary magazines and their constellation techniques: the elitist art magazine Blätter für die Kunst with its ‘strategic arrangement’ of literary and programmatic contributions and the creation of ‘resonances’ between them and the popular sports and society magazine Sport im Bild with its hybridizing flow of texts, images, and advertisements. Despite all the differences, it becomes clear that these are two quite compatible projects within the framework of an emerging aesthetic capitalism: whereas the Blätter für die Kunst staged and materialized the idea of pure art as an exclusive aesthetic lifestyle, the Sport im Bild made the desired aesthetic way of life also attainable by non-artists (with enough money) by associating it with the idea of an aesthetic capitalism.

From our most recent issue:
Girls Girls Girls Girls Girls: The Trans-Atlantic Mass Magazine Culture of the 1920s as a Gendered Affair

The article explores the ways in which illustrated magazines of the Weimar period contribute to a larger gendering of transnational exchange, particularly through image-text doubling and shifts. It takes the Weimar society magazine Uhu as a major reference point, investigating how it modelled itself on American lifestyle and ‘smart’ magazines and made use of the iconic figure of the ‘Girl’ to carve out a spatio-temporal continuum between ‘Amerika’ and Europe. While the Girl is a figure of the stage and screen as much as of the modern magazine, it is in the magazine that this figure comes into her own. The Girl incorporates modernity as a multimodal and multifaceted configuration much like the modern magazine itself. The article argues that the Girl enters the illustrated magazines not only as a subject matter but also as a tool of gendered self-reflection, particularly in the work of female writers, illustrators, and photographers.
