Abstract

EHRLICHER, Hanno. Networks in magazines and magazines as networks: new methodological challenges. Cuad. CILHA [online]. 2024, vol.25, n.1, e004.  Epub Apr 15, 2024. ISSN 1852-9615.  http://dx.doi.org/10.48162/rev.34.087.

During a long time, within the framework of literary studies, magazines were considered mere containers from which certain types of texts or productions of specific authors were extracted, usually those already canonized. Beyond this function, the magazine was not appreciated as a medium in itself, even though both its form of presentation and its internal order undoubtedly also permeate the perception and reception of literature. But research has begun to change and there is increasing awareness about the intrinsic mediality of magazines, which gains in interest precisely as one moves beyond a traditional book-centered approach. As a multimodal object that integrates different actors and various dimensions of literary production and reception, periodical publications are not only platforms on which intellectual and literary networks take shape, but also actors that form and inform new networks.

Starting, above all, from the recent digitizations of Amauta, the article will reflect on some of the new methodological challenges of the network analysis approach when applied to the "small archive" (Frank, Podewski y Scherer, 2009) of magazines in digital format.

Keywords : magazines; networks; digitization; Digital Humanities; Amauta.
