PERIODICAL STUDIES: THE HISTORY OF RISING AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS

Abstract: Periodical studies is a common name for a huge trend in cultural and media studies, launched by Latham’s and Scholes’s publication “The Rise of Periodical Studies” in PMLA in 2006. The article highlights the history of the formation of periodical studies as a separate field of interdisciplinary research in Western Europe and the USA, in which periodicals are the object. The connection between periodical studies and press studies in Ukraine was established, the evolution of approaches to the study of periodicals from an autonomous object of research.
The main directions of the study of periodicals at the current stage are outlined. The change in research methodology is traced, taking into account relational, transactional approaches, gender studies and achievements of cultural studies, as well as digital technologies and methods of processing large data sets. The article contains factual information about the organizational and institutional support of the industry, as well as the corpus of English-language scientific periodicals, in which the research results are tested.
Based on the materials of foreign publications, the prospects for the development of the field, as well as its interactions with other areas of humanitarian research, are summarized.

Keywords: press, periodicals, journalism, press studies, periodical studies, journalism studies.
