Affiliated with Temple University, the website and bimonthly printed editions focus on hyperlocal journalism, or journalism at the street-by-street level. The website has won numerous state, regional, and national awards for its coverage. The goals focus on many aspects of journalism, but this paper will address the successes and failures of this hyperlocal approach and the potential applicability for other organizations.展开更多

Trans- lations into Chinese and Korean of A la recherche du temps perdu are ongoing. The Gallica online library of France＇s Bibliothbque nationale makes the notebooks from which Proust＇s novel emerged between 1908 and 1922 digitally accessible any- where in the world. It is well known that Proust has been adapted to graphic novel format, individual volumes of his novel have been adapted for cinema, inspired ballet and musical theatre and his characters＇ lives have fuelled works of fiction by contemporary creative writers. This paper considers a very recent instance of Proust＇s reception and adaptation： ＂Works in Fiber, Paper and Proust＂ created by the critic and theorist Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick （1950-2009） and first exhibited at Harvard University in 2005. These remarkable objects--including what Sedgwick calls an ＂accordion-book＂ and a ＂loom-book＂--give a woven, layered physicality to Proust＇s words and remobilise them in ways that force us to reconfigure our understanding of the text-reader relation. Sedgwick＇s visual, textile artworks are the products of creative, adaptive practices undertaken as a sort of therapy that was instrumental in her coming to terms with the terminal cancer diagnosis she received in 1996. My paper explores Sedgwick＇s adaptive practice and interrogates the in- sights their challenging hybridity offers us into the ongoing transmission of Proust＇s work.展开更多
