Absolutely loving Francesca Colonnese's paper on media reports of Robert Browning's wax cylinder reporting, in which periodicals promoted both Browning's poetic legacy and the new technology of Edison's phonograph. @rs4vp.org #RSVP2026 #MovementsAndMigrations #PrintInMotion

Jennifer Conary speaks about how as an expert reader, she realized after moving to an admin job that her reading skills had deteriorated. We assume that our students can deep read, but this is a complex skill that needs to be developed actively. #rsvp2026 #printinmotion

In 1837, the *Public Ledger* joined the other London dailies in dropping volume numbers, indicating its publishers were no longer assuming the issues would be gathered and bound together for posterity, argues @jimmussell.bsky.social #RSVP2026

@jimmussell.bsky.social thus uses the numbering of issues in mastheads to assess how proprietors link their newspapers to —or decouple them from— their prior incarnations (and volume numbering —or not— as their relationship to archiving and posterity). #RSVP2026

@3volumenovel.bsky.social fiction from the penny press moved into the select circulating library. This is significant because the penny press was widely derided as "trash" and Victorians thought that respectable types never read it, but the differences are only light editing #RSVP2026 #PrintinMotion

#RSVP2026 #PrintInMotion Katherine rejects divide between qualitative and quantitative analysis. There's a lot of unjustified leaning on quantitative methods as more objective. e.g. data is a form of writing. Universities (science and humanities) need to defend knowledge production together.

We can't assume that any periodical stays consistent. Format: length of article, review style or not, signature? How do these change? Focus on authors misses wider factors in publishing, competition, etc. #RSVP2026 #PrintInMotion
