Histories and Ruptures in Platform Governance
Scholars of platform governance, referring to dynamic relationships between governments, platform companies, and civil society, have often inquired about the new ways that online activity is structured through emerging technologies, norms, and political tensions. At the same time, we recognize a need to historicize these power relations: tracing the continuities, reconfigurations, and above all ruptures among “novelties”. This panel brings togeth…

Expanding the Margins: Annotation as Critical Practice
Annotation is such an everyday readerly activity that it is easy to dismiss as too mundane and minute to have serious value as scholarship. And yet social annotation has seen a resurgence as a pedagogical strategy thanks to new digital tools, and Victorian Studies scholars were encouraged to engage in annotative engagement with one another's papers in COVE Studio during EVENT 2024. While the uneven uptake and mixed success of annotation over the …
The Digital Dickens Notes Project
The Digital Dickens Notes Project (DDNP) is a digital initiative that seeks to transcribe, interpret, and explore the significance of the working notes Charles Dickens kept for most of his novels.1 Our online platform (dickensnotes.com) presents color transcriptions that display Dickens’s use of space, ink colors, and nontextual markings to capture his intricate use of these pages over the course of the many weeks or months he planned, composed, …
The Matter of Aesthetic Experience
When Victorian critics like Margaret Oliphant and Henry Mansel reacted negatively to the popular “sensation novel” in the 1860s, chief among their concerns was that these novels “preach[ed] to the nerves” instead of engaging readers’ cultivated reflective judgment (Mansel 483). Scholarship on sensation novels has sought to identify the unique features that allowed these texts to directly engage readers’ bodies and do certain kinds of cultural or …
Charlotte Brontë's First Person
This essay reads Charlotte Brontë's use of first-person narration in Villette as a contribution to a Victorian reassessment of personal identity as material, heterogeneous, and adaptive. Challenging common readings of Brontë's first-person fictions as displays of self-definition and authority, I unpack the relationship between the narrated and narrating person in both Jane Eyre and Villette to reveal dual operations of narrative-world-making stra…
Media consumption and self-identification: Hungarian and Slovak case study
The media impact on the process of ethnic identification, particularly with regard to how ethnic minority individuals reflect upon their ethnic origin, is the focus of this article. We analyse the relationships media consumption has with the identity-reflection process using biographical narratives of individuals from two ethnic minority communities in Eastern European countries: Slovaks in Hungary and Hungarians in Slovakia, focusing on how medi…
Our Mutual Friend and Network Form
This essay demonstrates how Charles Dickens used the form of serial fiction to experiment with a uniquely Victorian idea of life as a dynamic network of interactions. Reading Our Mutual Friend alongside nineteenth-century physiological and evolutionary writing, I show how Dickens shaped novel form around the attractions and reactions that organized social and psychological life in his city. Victorian sciences—particularly the work of George Henry…
