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.
This open access book promotes the idea that all media types are
multimodal and that comparing media types, through an intermedial
lens, necessarily involves analysing these multimodal traits. The
collection includes a series of interconnected articles that
illustrate and clarify how the concepts developed in Ellestroem's
influential article The Modalities of Media: A Model for
Understanding Intermedial Relations (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010) can
be used for methodical investigation and interpretation of media
traits and media interrelations. The authors work with a wide range
of old and new media types that are traditionally investigated
through limited, media-specific concepts. The publication is a
significant contribution to interdisciplinary research, advancing
the frontiers of conceptual as well as practical understanding of
media interrelations. This is the first of two volumes. It contains
Ellestroem's revised article and six other contributions focusing
especially on media integration: how media products and media types
are combined and merged in various ways.

characteristics are transferred and transfigured among various
media products and media types.

This open access book is a methodical treatise on narration in
different types of media. A theoretical rather than a historical
study, Transmedial Narration is relevant for an understanding of
narration in all times, including our own. By reconstructing the
theoretical framework of transmedial narration, this book enables
the inclusion of all kinds of communicative media forms on their
own terms. The treatise is divided into three parts. Part I
presents established and newly developed concepts that are vital
for formulating a nuanced theoretical model of transmedial
narration. Part II investigates the specific transmedial media
characteristics that are most central for realizing narratives in a
plenitude of different media types. Finally, Part III contains
brief studies in which the narrative potentials of painting,
instrumental music, mathematical equations, and guided tours are
illuminated with the aid of the theoretical framework developed
throughout the book. Suitable for advanced students and scholars,
this book provides tools to disentangle the narrative potential of
any form of communication.
