Triangulation (Being the record of a discussion of comics theory conducted on 2nd May 2018, transcribed into words and then comics in the period since.)
Doctors John, Thierry and Paul planned to record a conversation about the comics theories they had explored in the course of pursuing their respective PhDs, to see whether these were consistent – with plans to co-created a ‘verbatim comic’ based on the recordings.To keep things manageable each composed five questions, from which two were chosen to answer, for a strict one minute each – with a little chance for comments, questions and responses af…

Making the invisible visible
Web environments can support non-specialist access to prestigious and complex scholarly archives. We report on the creation and evaluation of webcomics that incorporate hyperlinks, a technological innovation that makes digitised artefacts from the Gertrude Bell Archive visible to learners. This shows readers the need to examine the evidence on which interpretations are based: an issue fundamental to academic researchers and archivists, but that m…

The work is an account of his travels and residence in Chile between 1818 and 1825 and his investigations into the cultural, political, geographical and botanical aspects of the country.
