This volume has its starting point in the veritable explosion of
serialized formats in all of forms representation, from painting to
printing, beginning in the mid nineteenth century and the
well-known fascination with series in biology, mathematics, music,
art, or literature. The new media culture of the late nineteenth
century, very much shaped by these serialized formats, sees itself
confronted with questions of truthfulness in new and profound ways,
just as perhaps the accelerated rhythm, anonymity, and broadened
accessibility of new media today have created new possibilities for
the dissemination of misinformation and, conversely, give us cause
to interrogate anew our notions of truthfulness. By examining both
the formal operations of both aesthetic and scientific objects in a
series form, and the historical context of their publication or
presentation, the contributions in this volume examine the often
strained, but yet immensely productive relationship between the way
in which a series negotiates questions of truthfulness: both by
reference to the rules established in its series form or by means
of its serial format. This volume provides ten detailed cases of
the series form from the history of science and journalism, and the
history of painting, photography, and literature as well.
