Maki (Makenzie) Salmon is a fourth year PhD student in the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture’s Cultural Mediations program at Carleton University and, with Victoria Hawco, a co-founder of Scaffold: the Journal for the Institute of Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture. She followed an MA (thesis) in Creative Non-Fiction at the University of Guelph with an interdisciplinarity MA (coursework) in Cultural Analysis and Social Theory from Wilfrid Laurier University.
Her dissertation, a transmedia cultural history of the doppelganger, from folklore to Gothic literature to new media, explores how the figure’s popularity as a sitcom trope proved critical to its remediation and sustained narrative and symbolic relevance and bridges its classical and contemporary definitions.
