 CFP: Space, place, and landscape in the history of communications, aone-day symposium at the Weston Library, University of Oxford, Tuesday 16June 2015 Space, place, and landscape have a significant impact on communications, on the systems of communications that succeed as well as those that fail and on the heritage of communications systems.  Recent scholarship in communications studies and the history of communications has focused on how modern electronic communications influence evolving concepts of time, space, and geography and the crucial role of communications in experiencing spatiality, temporality, spatiality and mobility. At our one-day symposium, we wish to consider the inverse: the impact of space, place, and landscape upon communications systems and their heritage from 1700 to the present day.  We also wish to consider communications systems in transit, how changing locations impact upon the transfer of communications knowledge and technology.  We are especially interested in papers which take an interdisciplinary approach to the history of communications and use inventive methods for a broad exploration of history of communications.Read more
