Call for Papers and Artistic Research submissions:

In our practice as historians, we often tend to think that the contemporary press mirrors the historical reality and therefore is an objective source of information. However, it has been shaped by particular and collective political and economic interests, or, sometimes, random decisions. The symposium will examine critical approaches to the contemporary press as a tool of art, architectural and social histories and, when looking at the margins of society, the way we can deal with the lack of representation in media in specific research topics. The focus of the symposium is historical contemporary press, however, the line between history, memory and the present is up to the individual conceptualization of each proposed paper/presentation.
