This collection offers a multi-faceted exploration of
transmediations, the processes of transfer and transformation that
occur when communicative acts in one medium are mediated again
through another. While previous research has explored these
processes from a broader perspective, Salmose and Ellestroem argue
that a better understanding is needed of the extent to which the
outcomes of communicative acts are modified when transferred across
multimodal media in order to foster a better understanding of
communication more generally. Using this imperative as a point of
departure, the book details a variety of transmediations, viewed
through four different lenses. The first part of the volume looks
at narrative transmediations, building on existing work done by
Marie-Laure Ryan on transmedia storytelling. The second section
focuses on the spatial dynamics involved in media transformation as
well as the role of the human body as a perceptive agent and a
medium in its own right. The third part investigates new, radical
boundaries and media types in transmediality and hence shows its
versatility as a method of analyzing complex and contemporary
communicative discourses. The fourth and final part explores the
challenges involved in transmediating scientific data into the
narrative format in the context of environmental issues. Taken
together, these sections highlight a range of case studies of
transmediations and, in turn, the complexity and variety of the
process, informed by the methodologies of the different disciplines
to which they belong. This innovative volume will be of particular
interest to students and scholars in multimodality, communication,
intermediality, semiotics, and adaptation studies.
