Featured Projects
Anne Sexton, Sweetbriar College, 1966
This an annotated recording featuring Anne Sexton reading at Sweetbriar in 1966. The recording is held as part of the Anne Sexton Papers at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin. The annotations were created by Dr. Tanya Clement.
Furious Flower Poetry Center Transcriptions
These transcripts of video recordings from the Furious Flower Collection at James Madison University in Harrisburg Virginia were created by Evan Sizemore. The recordings from Furious Flower document interviews and readings by major African American poets, among them Rita Dove, Yusef Komunyakaa, Sonia Sanchez, and Major Jackson, accompanied by contextualizing information about them.
Comparison Screen for Shoes
This comparison project by Luke Sumpter and Zoe Bursztajn-Illingworth showcases two different aspects of formal film analysis, editing and intertitle, within the 1916 silent film Shoes by Lois Weber.
Radio Venceremos
In Vera Burrows’s AVAnnotate project “The Power and Reality of Radio During Revolution / El poder y la realidad de la radio durante revolución,” Burrows presents her research on a collection of civil war recordings from a Salvadoran rebel radio station, Radio Venceremos, to both anglophone and hispanophone audiences. She does so by creating two sets of annotations on the same audio events: one annotation set translates the transcripts of these Spanish recordings into English (useful for anglophone audiences) and the other presents contextualizing research on the violence of these recordings into Spanish (useful for hispanophone audiences). This project was originally built for AudiAnnotate, and was re-created with AVAnnotate by Jack D. Riordan.
