Bio/Research
Professor Tschofen joined TMU’s Department of English in 1999 after teaching at Athabasca University and the University of Alberta. Her publications in the areas of new media, visual culture, Canadian studies, and globalization include textbooks on film and literature, literature and multimedia, and literary hypertext as well as edited collections of essays on Canadian writers and filmmaker Atom Egoyan.
Her current research has two branches. One theorizes the relationship between art and philosophy. Asking about the conditions under which an artwork can be an “act of theory,” she writes on Gertrude Stein, digital installation art, experimental cinema, and ekphrastic poetry.
Her current work with the Decameron Collective, a group of nine interdisciplinary scholar-creators from across Canada including Kari Maaren from English and Izabella Pruska-Oldenhof from Image Arts at TMU, emerges from a practice of collaborative research co-creation anchored in care ethics. Investigations of past and present moments experiment with creative digital humanities and research creation methodologies. Two projects that can be understood as both i-docs and e-lit, one web-based and one designed for VR, have been exhibited to date.
Her feminist creative practice is richly archival, and fuses poetry, algorithmic generation, digital photography, animation, sound art, with the histories of manuscript culture and book making.
