Description

Mapping Ann-Marie MacDonald (MAMM) is a SSHRC-funded project that explores contested literary geographies through the development of interactive mappings of places, people, and key events as they unfold in MacDonald’s creative works, including plays and novels. Bringing together senior and junior researchers, including undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty, from the fields of English Literature, Digital Humanities, and Geography, this research tries to expand our understanding of complex assemblages of geographies as they are perceived in various literary works. To do so, each discipline offers various ontologies and epistemologies to map out MacDonald's geographical imagination as it relates to complex historical social-spatial relations. This presentation showcases the living documents involved in the praxis of the research team, including our community logbook, glossary, and coding sheet. We use these documents to demonstrate how our collaborative process has been instrumental in the development of our research outputs, including our interactive map interface (​​https://mamm.cfdh.ca/en/).
