When readers become victims of the murder mysteries they are
immersed in, when superheroes embark on a quest to challenge their
authors or when the fictional rock band Gorillaz flirt with Madonna
during their performance, then metalepsis in popular culture
occurs. Metalepsis describes the transgression of the boundary
between the fictional world and (a representation of) the real
world. This volume establishes a transmedial definition of
metalepsis and explores the phenomenon in twelve case studies
across media and genres of popular culture: from film, TV series,
animated cartoons, graphic novels and popular fiction to pop music,
music videos, holographic projections and fan cultures. Narrative
studies have considered metalepsis so far largely as a phenomenon
of postmodern or avant-garde literature. Metalepsis in Popular
Culture investigates metalepsis' ties to the popular and traces its
transmedial importance through a wealth of examples from the turn
of the 20th century to this day. The articles also address larger
issues such as readerly immersion, the appeal of complexity in
popular culture, or the negotiation of fiction and reality in
media, and invite readers to rethink these issues through the prism
of metalepsis.
