un Magazine: Publication Launch

D and Hilary will introduce the volume and the methodologies explored around the format of annotations. Hilary states, “We initially conceived this issue with a static notion of what an annotated bibliography is and the role they fulfill: academic, even prosaic perhaps—a series of texts strung together by a central theme and a short analysis following each citation. I found myself tethered to the format taught at the tertiary level and envisioned a compilation of perfectly formatted annotations following Chicago’s Manual of Style. Yet, what you’ll read here is an unfolding test into what constitutes as an annotation and a series there of. No two texts are the same in neither content nor form: some are essayistic and unorthodox, while others follow a more conventional format.”
