periodicals
- Periodicals and censorship: what are the differences in censorship of the
various types of print material in different eras and countries?
- The discreet charm of Samizdat
- Borderline cases of e-selfpublishing: can the weblog or the on-line
discussion groups be regarded as periodicals?
2. Periodicals and Media
- Prevalent text modules in printed and electronic periodicals from reader's
letters to volume, from leads to databases and beyond
- The work-in-progress nature of periodicals
- Blending media in periodicals (picture and text, LP/CD-supplement, etc.)

online
- The theoretical infinity of background materials and the borders of online
periodicals
- The intertextuality of periodical issues; searchability and customising as
the narrowing of intertextuality; intertextuality in the online environment

men's/women's magazines)
