Madeline will present two papers at the 2020 Modern Language Association Convention. The first, “Comics ARchitected: Translation Augmentation with Structural Integrity,” is part of the “Comics and the Digital Humanities” roundtable. Through her digital humanities project called “Comics ARchitected,” this paper demonstrates that when augmenting comics, it is vital to consider their structural integrity and avoid disrupting the fragile architecture of the comics page.
Her second paper, “Making Victorian Serialized Fiction Accessible through the Digital ‘Edition’,” is part of the “Serial Compositions” session. With an emphasis on access and accessibility, this paper explores ways in which Victorian serialized novels can be presented through digital projects that place them within their periodical contexts. One such project is Madeline’s The (De)collected War of the Worlds.
