Overview

Due to the fact that all three guest-editors work in Irish Studies, the appearance of Yeats, Beckett and also Dermot Healy could be expected given how we circulated the CFP amongst our research clusters, but we were pleasantly surprised by the interest in comics and other forms of popular culture and literature internationally. his emphasis is particularly welcome given Ilka do Desterro's long-standing commitment to Cultural Studies in Brazil. [...]as a special feature in this thematic volume, all three book reviews included analyse recently published volumes also addressing aspects of artistic collaborations. In their study of illegally-printed religious texts in the Reformation period, the authors consider, on the one hand, the need for and the evidence of careful proofing, despite the grave dangers involved, and, on the other, the authority of those involved in the process. hey uncover evidence of collaboration between authors, printers and their assistants in producing the \"ideal\" copy of the treaties. heir involvement in the proceedings is considered integral enough to their creation as to warrant persecution along with the authors in case their illegal activities were discovered and tried in court. Drawing from two case studies, the Canadian production of Secret Path (2016) and the Brazilian Airplane Mode (2017), Figueiredo illuminates the heightened collaborative relationships involved in the creative process, resulting in different products. he complexities resulting from this process for both author/producers and users/consumers are examined throughout the essay. [...]the system they developed \"arrived collaboratively between not only the two living human beings but also by a variety of communicators: controls, guides, 'frustrators' (tricksters or malevolent beings trying to damage the work), personages from other lifetimes, and daimons.\"
