This is the story about an anthropologist who heads off to spend time with makers in Barcelona and stays there for 18 months. Caught in a whirlwind of encounters and adventures, she explores spaces where the sum of collective learning is worth more than all the machines and artifacts combined. Participating allows her to percolate a shared reflexivity. Coding workshops during soldering sessions, making electronic circuits while carrying out a heritage development project, and data emerges, the terrain takes shape and meaning unfolds, without, however, exhausting the eternal question: how best to give an account of this research?

Traditionally, legal documents are verbally drafted and formulated especially for and by lawyers to protect their clients in the case of a dispute. However, the signing parties should understand the contents of the documents as well. If they, for example, are unable to do that for some reason, the traditional verbal format of an employment contract becomes problematic. In order to solve the problem, Robert de Rooy, a South African lawyer, developed a comic contract, a visualised format of a contract for a client of his. In my article, I examine how traditional contracts can be translated into comics without losing their value as legally binding documents. The main aim is to discuss, how a traditional employment contract has been translated into visuals, focusing on the issues of the context(s). The analysis will indicate how the main contents of the labour law are transferred into a comic contract following the conventions of the visual language of comics. This leads to a clear, understandable and unambiguous—thus accessible—legal document, which helps the signing parties to understand their rights and duties as employers and employees.

This article is a qualitative and descriptive study, based on teaching students, aged 13-14, about epistolary art in France. First of all, the section based on a comparative reading of Calamity Jane's Lettres à sa fille (1997 and 2007) and the comic book Calamity Jane (1967) by Morris & Goscinny is presented and some observations about presenting them in the classroom are detailed. Secondly, the article makes further suggestions to enrich these letters' study, mainly by means of enunciative variations, life-narratives dealing with fiction and truth, but also the narrative and graphical integration of actual photographs pertaining to the historical character. What makes these improvements possible is the new augmented edition' of the letters in 2007, in which the question of an apocryphal manuscript is revealed to French readers, and also several graphic novels' publication, since 2004, based on the first or the new edition such as Fontaine's Calamity and Blanchin & Perrissin's Martha Jane Cannary. These comic books allow us to study with students Calamity Jane's modern myth reception' in Francophone countries in Francophone countries.
