Abstract

EDITOR'S SUMMARY

Zombies have been sweeping across all types of media for many years, and their popularity continues to rise with TV shows like The Walking Dead and movies like Warm Bodies. The popularity of entertainment about the undead presents an interesting opportunity to draw parallels between the fiction of zombies and the reality of human politics, societies and issues. In an effort to connect this discourse with born-digital publishing, [ZOMBIES REIMAGINED] was created. The effort behind [ZOMBIES REIMAGINED] was undertaken by faculty, students and librarians at Swarthmore College, and it was launched in May 2016 as a public website with individual exhibits in the form of web pages. The web pages were authored by students in the author's seminar and turned into an online experience with the help of Swarthmore librarians. Due to the success of the project, a large update to the site was launched in May 2017 with all new student authors and topics discussed.

利用僵尸教协作奖学金和诞生的数字出版

编者按:多年来，僵尸题材已经席卷了各种媒体，随着《行尸走肉》等电视剧和《温暖的尸体》等电影的出现，僵尸题材的受欢迎程度不断上升。关于不死族的娱乐的流行提供了一个有趣的机会，将僵尸小说与人类政治、社会和问题的现实进行比较。为了将这种论述与数字出版联系起来，《僵尸再想象》应运而生。[僵尸重新想象]背后的努力是由斯沃斯莫尔学院的教师、学生和图书馆员共同承担的，它于2016年5月作为一个公共网站推出，以网页的形式展示个人展品。这些网页是由作者研讨会上的学生创作的，在斯沃斯莫尔图书馆管理员的帮助下变成了一种在线体验。由于项目的成功，网站于2017年5月进行了大规模更新，讨论了所有新的学生作者和主题。
