- As @drhorrocks.bsky.social @vicmanch.bsky.social noted, Victorianists have the opportunity of back-to-back conferences with #RSVP2026 held in Dublin, 23-25 July & #BAVS2026 held in Liverpool, 27-29 July Too late to apply to RSVP, but submissions still open for BAVS! #BookHistory #PeriodicalStudies
- Check out the BAVS 2026 conference website: www.ljmu.ac.uk/bavs2026 CfP deadline extended until 12th December 2025!
- Just submitted my proposal entitled "Worldwide fin-de-siècle scam ad syndication: the case of the Morse Manufacturing Company"! Which other #BookHistory and #PeriodicalStudies scholars are hoping to meet up in Dublin?
- Has any #BookHistory or #PeriodicalStudies scholar joined the Open Science Network pilot? "Federate with Mastodon and Bluesky and integrate your social graph with scholarly data. Transform any conversation into citable FAIR data with persistent identifiers." Promising for scholarly communication!
- Started playing around today with LERA, a collation tool developed at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. It's very promising! Thanks to @poeckelmann.bsky.social for setting up the instance so quickly! lera.uzi.uni-halle.de #DH #TextualScholarship #BookHistory #ScholarlyEditing
- Ah, had I waited 10 years, I might not have needed to do all that encoding myself! Went down to the level of the paragraph to collate 2 🇬🇧 translations alongside their 🇫🇷 source text. When parts weren't translated, I segmented even more! It took—as most #DH projects—way more time than I anticipated😅
- Thank God cause I had completely forgotten about the deadline!
- 📣BREAKING NEWS! We've extended our CFP deadline for #RSVP2026 "Movements and Migrations"! Proposals now due 21 November 2025. Full CFP and more details about all things conference on our website: rs4vp.org/rsvp-confere...

- We're closing #ESPRit2025 by celebrating the 2024 ESPRit Prize: *The Edinburgh Companion to First World War Periodicals* (2023) ed. by Marysa Demoor, Cedric Van Dijck & Birgit van Puymbroeck @edinburghup.bsky.social The committee was unanimous in their decision, calling it a “genuine tour de force”
- Interesting experience now at #ESPRit2025 which reminds me of the first conference of Médias 19 in 2015 (@pinsonm19.bsky.social!): a (keynote) presentation in Spanish with slides in English (as opposed to French at Médias 19). Let's see how much I can grasp...
- Now to Romania with Roxana Patraș (and Antonio Patraș in spirit)! The first Romanian novel to be published in feuilleton is *Pustnicul* by Graf Valberg (pseudonym) in *Propăşirea* in 1844. This was the first moment of synchronization of Romanian literature (with French literature?) #ESPRit2025
- María Dolores Narbona Carrión is recovering the American feminist writer Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911). She has found assemblage theory very fruitful to use Phelps's non-fiction periodical publications to provide insight into her literary works. #ESPRit2025
- My 2nd panel of the day starts w/ @clementdessy.bsky.social who's working on literary translations in French-language little magazines (1880-1914) He uncovers forgotten translators, or famous writers unknown as translators, such as Alfred Jarry #ESPRit2025 👇 #OpenAccess ed. @macharlier.bsky.social
- Next up: Stanislava Barać with “The Spanish Civil War as an Interconnecting Topic of the Popular Front Feminist Magazines” She chose the topic cause #ESPRit2025 is held in Spain (Málaga). It acts as a sequel to a 2023 talk at "Feminism(s) in the Media: Public Outreach and Cultural Transformations".
