A poster exhibition entitled “From Pamphlets to Blogs” will be held at the English Department from the 22^nd of May to the 12^th of June. The posters present the results of original student research conducted as part of a proseminar held by Prof. Busse in the winter term. Students analyze historical linguistic and pragmatic features of the discursive techniques different mass media have employed to capture and hold the attention of a broad readership. The texts investigated range from early pamphlets, want ads and historical newspapers to contemporary blogs.

We hope you enjoy the result!
