Designed by Digital Publication Specialist Dr. Bailey Betik, the accompanying website to The Cambridge Companion to Tango, edited by Kristin Wendland and Kacey Link, illustrates the sights and sounds of tango. The book, written for students, scholars, and aficionados across academic disciplines, offers a valuable compilation of tango studies from diverse perspectives highlighting how the art form has flourished in its native Argentina and abroad and tracing its international and cultural impact over the last century. Through the website, readers can engage with audio and visual resources as well as relevant web links to help tango come alive.
Through a Glass, Darkly: Allegory & Faith in Netherlandish Prints from Lucas van Leyden to Rembrandt is the first major exhibition to systematically consider the form, function, and meaning of allegorical prints produced in the Low Countries during the 16th and 17th centuries, and serves as the basis for an illustrated catalog produced by curators Walter S. Melion, Asa Candler Griggs Professor of Art History and director of the Bill and Carol Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry at Emory University, and James Clifton, director of the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation and curator of Renaissance and Baroque painting at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Carlo’s Museum at Emory University initially completed this project as a print catalog. Walter Melion and the project team decided to create a Manifold digital version when they learned about ECDS’s digital publishing options and platforms. Afterwards, the Manifold edition of this project features high resolution images as well as video interviews and interpretations co-produced by Walter Melion and Steve Bransford, PhD, an ECDS Senior Video Producer. The book, which takes the form of a monographic catalogue in print and also as an open access publication with video commentary and deep zoom imagery in web production, originally accompanied an exhibition held at Emory University’s Michael C. Carlos Museum in Fall 2019.
Sarah McKee, Senior Associate Director Emerita for Publishing at Emory’s Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry (now Project Manager, Higher Education: Publishing Initiatives, ACLS) and Yang Li, Senior Software Engineer and Information Designer at ECDS, contributed enormously to the creation, planning, and revision of the digital edition, with customized layouts and aesthetics that reflect elegance and conform to the digital reading experience.
