Congress Politics and Culture in the Colonial Periodical Press
The 1º IGSCP-PE International Congress Politics and Culture in the Colonial Periodical Press was held in Lisbon from the 22nd to the 25th of May 2017. The congress was attended by hundreds of researchers coming from different parts of the world, and it was also the occasion to launch the Common Virtual Exhibition project. Opened to the realities of different Colonial Empires, the congress proposed a set of reflection lines. Working as a laboratory of the IGSCP-PE, the Congress was built around two moments:
1. Politics and Culture in the Colonial Periodical Press: theoretical approaches and research horizons
2. Meeting with Libraries, Archives, and Researchers: an international debate
The structure and associated initiatives of the congress address the academic concerns and forms of action that IGSCP-PE aims to stimulate: a) by emphasizing the place of the periodical press in the creation of the “colonial world” that connects the diverse spaces that integrated it and in the contemporary history of each country that arise this world; B) by inviting to look at the parts and the whole, stimulating to think interdisciplinary how national narratives can be enriched by the incorporation of the narratives of the “others” and in their connection to the “others”, who to a large extent are “the other” because they are fixed as such in the present as in the past; C) by promoting national and international collaboration between researchers, projects and representative institutions aiming to coordinate the advance of academic knowledge with preservation and dissemination policies of the periodical press published within the framework of the Portuguese colonial empire; D) by bridging together researchers working in this field of study and encouraging mutual knowledge of their work.
Based on the congress proceedings, 4 collective volumes on the colonial periodical press were published by Routledge. 3 of them are already available in the series Routledge Studies in Cultural History:
