In a context in which various artistic groups resorted to periodicals to stage their public appearance, the editors of the Brussels-based magazine Hermès: Revue trimestrielle d'études mystiques et poétiques (1933–39) mobilized Middle Dutch mystical literature to carve out a space for themselves in the cultural scene of interwar Belgium. Drawing on methods and concepts of transfer studies and research into ethos construction, this article analyses the transfer strategies underpinning the publication of the French translation of the ‘First Vision’ of the Middle Dutch mystic Hadewijch (c. 1240), with which Hermès programmatically opened its inaugural volume. The analysis uncovers a complex histoire croisée which involved confrontations, both collaborative and conflictual, between Hermès and two very different groups of cultural actors: the circle of Brussels Surrealists, with whom the editors of Hermès shared a history, and the Catholic philologists of the Ruusbroecgenootschap [Ruusbroec Society], who equally sought to disseminate Middle Dutch mystical texts to a wider public, albeit with very different goals.
在各种艺术团体通过期刊来展示自己的公众形象的背景下，布鲁塞尔杂志《herm: Revue trimestrielle d’samuques et posamts》(1933-39)的编辑们调动了中世纪荷兰的神秘文学，在两次世界大战之间的比利时文化舞台上为自己开辟了一片空间。借鉴迁移研究的方法和概念以及对精神气质建设的研究，本文分析了支持中世纪荷兰神秘主义者哈德维奇(Hadewijch，约1240年)的“第一愿景”的法语翻译出版的迁移策略，herm以程序方式打开了其首卷。分析揭示了一段复杂的交叉交叉历史，其中包括herm和两个非常不同的文化参与者群体之间的对抗，既有合作，也有冲突:布鲁塞尔超现实主义者圈，herm的编辑与他们有共同的历史，以及Ruusbroecgenootschap的天主教语言学家，他们同样试图向更广泛的公众传播中世纪荷兰的神秘文本，尽管目标非常不同。

The article discusses the francophone review of art and literature Sélection published in Brussels (1920–22) and Antwerp (1923–33), Belgium, by André de Ridder and Paul-Gustave van Hecke. It takes as its point of departure the concept Le Génie du Nord [The Genius of the North], which was the title of a 1925 book published in Antwerp by De Ridder. The book mainly consists of essays previously published in Sélection between 1923 and 1924. De Ridder argues that France should not claim autonomy in the field of cultural production since throughout the centuries Nordic influence played a central role in its evolution. Although the book attracted little attention from the contemporary press, it offers a novel approach to the Nordic idea through the anticipation of a new classical order that distinguished itself from Southern classicism. While German expressionism is equally renounced, the book proposes a synthetic style — similar to the one that marked the gothic period — that also found expression in the art presented in Sélection. This style furnished a visual model for the invention of a new classical order stemming from the successful mingling of French rationalism with Flemish expressionism, a ‘constructive expressionism’ that became the precondition for a universal Nordic culture. The magazine was supportive of those French and Belgian artists who achieved a combination of the two styles — an ‘eclectic dualism’, in the words of Edmond Picard. Taking the origins of Gothicism and the Nordische Gesellschaft as case points of ideological complexity, the Génie du Nord concept forms an alternative discourse which intervenes in an ongoing art-historical and cultural debate that defines the identity of Sélection.
本文讨论了andre de Ridder和Paul-Gustave van Hecke在布鲁塞尔(1920-22)和比利时安特卫普(1923-33)出版的法语文学艺术评论。它以“北方的天才”这个概念为出发点，这是1925年德·里德在安特卫普出版的一本书的书名。这本书的主要内容是1923年至1924年在《s选》上发表的文章。德里德尔认为，法国不应该在文化生产领域主张自主权，因为几个世纪以来，北欧的影响在其演变中发挥了核心作用。虽然这本书没有引起当代新闻界的注意，但它通过对一种与南方古典主义不同的新古典秩序的期待，为北欧思想提供了一种新颖的方法。虽然德国表现主义同样被抛弃，但这本书提出了一种综合风格——类似于标志着哥特时期的风格——这种风格也在ssamlection的艺术中得到了表达。这种风格为法国理性主义与佛兰德表现主义的成功融合提供了一种新的古典秩序的视觉模式，这种“建设性表现主义”成为了普遍的北欧文化的先决条件。该杂志支持那些将这两种风格结合起来的法国和比利时艺术家，用埃德蒙·皮卡德的话来说，这是一种“折衷的二元论”。将哥特主义和北欧社会的起源作为意识形态复杂性的案例点，gsamnie du Nord概念形成了另一种话语，它介入了正在进行的艺术历史和文化辩论，这些辩论定义了ssamlection的身份。

This article investigates the popular periodicals for juveniles Our Boys, Fianna, Young Ireland, and St. Enda’s, which were cherished by Irish nationalists as home-grown substitutes for the alienating British story papers in the Ireland of the early twentieth century. With Ireland still under British rule, these periodicals were concerned about the role of youths in the context of nation-building and my contention is that the people involved in such editorial enterprises viewed them as potentially transformative forces of society, which not only harnessed the power of the idea of political upheaval, but also forged the agents who were to build the envisioned free Irelands. Contributing to the definition of an appropriate ‘post-independence’ national identity, they thus offered to the young visions of the future nation that predicated its legitimacy upon an appeal to the past and the appreciation of traditions. At the same time, young readers were presented with exemplary models of Irish citizenship drawn from Irish heritage of myths and histories. Hence, through the close scrutiny of primary texts from the crucial 1914–23 years, my objective is to show how the future Irelands first imagined and narrated in the periodicals would find their roots in the past and draw energies and strength from the nation’s cultural heritage.

In June 2021, the DFG Research Unit 228 ‘Journal Literature’1 organized the 9t International Conference of the European Society for Periodical Research (ESPRit) on the topic of ‘Periodical Formats in the Market: Economies of Space and Time, Competition and Transfer’. On behalf of the Research Unit, a team from the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) was responsible for planning and carrying out the event, in coordination with the ESPRit Committee. As the COVID-19 pandemic spread in Europe during the Spring of 2020, the conference team agreed to go virtual with the conference, due to the foreseeable legal and logistical difficulties in planning and carrying it out in person. From the outset, planning the virtual conference was flanked by an intensive process of reflection in which the conference team reviewed and adapted its objectives as well as the methods and processes required to achieve these goals. This process of reflection was significantly more intensive than is the case with on-site conferences, which are based on existing experience and logistical support from the host institutions. The experiences and insights gained are shared in this report in order to assist in planning future conferences.

The London-based weekly the New Age, edited by A. R. Orage from 1907 to 1922, was known for promoting spirited debates on politics, literature, and the arts. Scholars have been attentive to what Ann Ardis terms the magazine’s ‘unusual commitment to […] Bakhtinian dialogics in the public sphere’, but less so to the role that the letters column played in facilitating these often contentious, often transnational debates. This essay argues that the letters column functioned as a forum for linking not only individual readers and contributors from around the world, but also wider discursive and periodical communities. A case study of global dialogics, the essay focuses on an eleven-month debate that unfolded in New Age correspondence concerning the so-called black peril — the purported epidemic of black men attempting to rape white women in South Africa, which historians today regard as a moral panic fuelled by a desire to reinforce white supremacy. The flames of the panic were stoked by the Umtali case of 1910, in which Lord Gladstone commuted the death sentence of an Umtali native convicted of attempted rape to life imprisonment. This decision sparked mass protests and petitions among the white community in South Africa and a heated discussion about race and racism that reverberated throughout the empire, including in the columns of the New Age. The letters column served as an international forum, drawing in white settlers from Johannesburg, Crisis editor and NAACP founder W. E. B. Du Bois, Sudanese-Egyptian writer Dusé Mohamed Ali, and British suffragette Emily Wilding Davison, among others. This essay examines the gendered and racial politics of this debate and how it was shaped by its specific periodical context and by the national and ideological contexts of its interlocutors.
伦敦的周刊《新时代》于1907年至1922年由a·r·奥拉格编辑，以促进政治、文学和艺术方面的激烈辩论而闻名。学者们关注的是安·阿迪斯所说的杂志“在公共领域对巴赫蒂安式对话的不同寻常的承诺”，但不太关注信件专栏在促进这些经常有争议的、经常是跨国的辩论中所扮演的角色。本文认为，信件专栏作为一个论坛，不仅连接了来自世界各地的个人读者和贡献者，而且还连接了更广泛的话语和期刊社区。作为全球对话的一个案例研究，这篇文章聚焦于“新纪元”通信中展开的一场为期11个月的辩论，这场辩论涉及所谓的“黑人危险”——据称在南非，黑人男性试图强奸白人女性的现象普遍存在，今天的历史学家认为这是一种由强化白人至上主义的愿望所引发的道德恐慌。1910年的乌姆塔利(Umtali)案点燃了恐慌的火焰。在该案中，格莱斯顿勋爵(Lord Gladstone)将一名因强奸未遂而被判死刑的乌姆塔利本地人减为无期徒刑。这一决定引发了南非白人社区的大规模抗议和请愿，以及一场关于种族和种族主义的激烈讨论，在整个帝国产生了反响，包括在《新时代》(New Age)的专栏中。信件专栏作为一个国际论坛，吸引了来自约翰内斯堡的白人定居者，危机编辑和全国有色人种协进会创始人W. E. B.杜波依斯，苏丹-埃及作家杜斯奈尔·穆罕默德·阿里和英国妇女参政论者艾米丽·怀尔丁·戴维森等人。本文考察了这场辩论的性别和种族政治，以及它是如何被其特定的期刊背景和对话者的国家和意识形态背景所塑造的。
