Liberating Histories: Women's Movement Magazines, Media Activism and Periodical Pedagogies

《解放历史》是英国第一本全面研究从1968年妇女解放运动开始到现在的女权主义印刷运动的书籍。该项目开发了解读印刷和数字媒体的新方法，并将这些方法用于在课堂上教授媒体素养技能。与众不同的是，该项目不仅利用现有的期刊档案，而且还与女权主义期刊的创作者和消费者合作，建立一个新的资源档案，通过项目网站向公众开放。这些资源包括拍摄的公共活动，播客，女权主义期刊的数字化内容，过去和现在的活动家的第一人称证词，以及创新的“期刊教学法”工具包，以促进学者和学生对期刊的研究。该网站将主办第一个在线互动指南女权主义期刊，提供其内容和形式的概述以及“期刊教学法”工具包，将在关键阶段4和5的学者，教育工作者和学生提供分析期刊的战略。此外，项目小组将召集一个由教师、学生、媒体利益攸关方和决策者组成的咨询小组，为KS 4和KS 5的学生举办一个灵活的“积极阅读”讲习班，在国家课程框架内利用期刊提高媒体素养。一个“定期教学法”研讨会将分享这些发现，并建立一个跨大西洋的网络，世界领先的学者，档案管理员和活动家交流良好的做法，资源和新的研究。虽然最近的奖学金已经有效地映射了英国选举权期刊（DiCenzo et al 2011），二十世纪女性杂志（Winship 1983; Forster 2015）和美国女权主义期刊（Beins 2017）的工作，解放历史致力于研究自1968年以来在英国出现的女权主义期刊。利用这些材料，《解放历史》将界定女权主义期刊在关于性别暴力、生殖权利和交叉性的辩论中所发挥的作用，同时将这些问题与#我也是、#我为什么留下来和#日常性别歧视等当代运动联系起来。第一次全面研究女权主义印刷激进主义在英国从妇女解放运动开始在1968年到现在的一天，和一个特殊的问题，女权主义媒体研究致力于“媒体激进主义在过渡”。这两份出版物都开发了新的方法来分析印刷和数字行动主义的代表性和中介作用。《解放历史》专注于1968年后的期刊，独特地准备利用活生生的读者群。通过邮件列表、女权主义组织和媒体（包括R4的《妇女时间》）发出呼吁，该项目将邀请一系列读者创作书面、音频或视频证词，分享他们对女权主义期刊的看法。贡献者将把他们的证词存款在项目网站上，建立一个丰富的、可扩展的和可自由访问的读者声音档案，这将对学者、从业人员和公众都有很大的用处和兴趣。妇女图书馆将存放这一原始证词和教学资源档案的部分内容，确保在项目结束后仍可供公众查阅。

Liberating Histories is the first comprehensive study of feminist print activism in the UK from the beginnings of the Women's Liberation Movement in 1968 to the present day. The project develops new methodologies for interpreting print and digital media and adapts these methodologies for teaching media literacy skills in the classroom. Distinctively, this project not only draws on existing periodical archives, but also works in collaboration with the creators and consumers of feminist periodicals to generate a new archive of resources that will be made publicly accessible via the project website. These resources include filmed public events, podcasts, digitised content from feminist periodicals, first-person testimonies from activists past and present, and an innovative 'Periodical Pedagogies' toolkit to facilitate the study of periodicals by scholars and students. The website will host the first online Interactive Guide to Feminist Periodicals, providing overviews of their content and form(s) as well as a 'Periodical Pedagogies' toolkit that will present scholars, educators and students at Key Stages 4 & 5 with strategies for analysing periodicals. In addition, the project team will assemble an advisory group of teachers, students, media stakeholders and policymakers to develop a flexible 'Active Reading' workshop for students at KS 4 & KS 5 that uses periodicals to improve media literacy within the framework of the National Curriculum. A 'Periodical Pedagogies' symposium will share these findings and build a transatlantic network of world-leading academics, archivists and activists to exchange good practice, resources and new research. While recent scholarship has usefully mapped the work of British suffrage periodicals (DiCenzo et al 2011), twentieth-century women's magazines (Winship 1983; Forster 2015), and feminist periodicals in the US (Beins 2017), Liberating Histories dedicates itself to the study of feminist periodicals that have emerged in the UK since 1968. Using this material, Liberating Histories will define the role that feminist periodicals have played in debates about gender-based violence, reproductive rights and intersectionality, while connecting these issues to contemporary campaigns such as #MeToo, #WhyIStayed and #EverydaySexism.The project will make a major contribution to scholarship on periodicals through the monograph Women's Activism, Periodical Form and Political Feeling, the first comprehensive study of feminist print activism in the UK from the beginnings of the Women's Liberation Movement in 1968 to the present day, and a special issue of Feminist Media Studies devoted to 'Media Activism in Transition'. Both publications develop new methodologies for analysing the representation and mediation of print and digital activism.With its focus on post-1968 periodicals, Liberating Histories is uniquely poised to capitalise on the existence of a living readership. By putting out calls through mailing lists, feminist organisations, and media outlets (including R 4's Woman's Hour), the project will invite a range of readers to create written, audio or video testimonies to share their views about feminist periodicals. Contributors will deposit their testimonies on the project website, creating a rich, expandable and freely accessible archive of readers' voices that will be of substantial use and interest to scholars, practitioners and the public alike. The Women's Library will host some elements of this archive of original testimony and pedagogic resources, ensuring they remain publicly accessible beyond the duration of the project.
