The exhibition of reviews was launched at Impact Hub, in Digbeth, Birmingham, on 16 September 2019, accompanied by a roundtable discussion led by Emanuela Patti, Ellen Pilsworth, and Katie Blair.
Emanuela and Ellen told us about their research on Italian and German protest reviews respectively, and we considered the following questions:
- – how important is print culture in spreading ideas at times of unrest and protest?
- – has print culture been replaced by digital media in the 21st century? (hint: no!)
- – how do ideas cross borders? What is the role of translation?
