Abstract

This article presents two archival case studies of feminist media scholars working speculatively, but also situatedly with digital collections. The first case study by Tanya Clement examines the author Zora Neale Hurston's ethnographic films from the Maragaret Mead Collection at the Library of Congress. The second case study by Zoe Bursztajn-Illingworth discusses a collaborative digital exhibit, Annotating Adler, made by her students at the University of Texas with method acting luminary Stella Adler's pedagogical videos from the Harry Ransom Center. Together, the authors propose strategies—in research and teaching—for simultaneously contextualizing and speculating in dialogue these recently digitized artifacts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
