This book explores the relationship between multiplicity and
representation of non-European and European-American cultures, with
a focus on comics and superheroes. The author employs a combination
of research methodologies, including close reading of transmedia
texts and interviews with transmedia storytellers and audiences, to
better understand the way in which diverse cultures are employed as
agents of multiplicity in transmedia narratives. The book addresses
both commercial franchises such as superhero narratives, as well as
smaller indie projects, in an attempt to elucidate the way in which
key cultural symbols and concepts are utilized by writers,
designers, and producers, and how these narrative choices affect
audiences - both those who identify as members of the culture being
represented and those who do not. Case studies include fan fiction
based on Marvel's Black Panther (2018), fan fiction and art created
for the Moana (2016) and Mulan (2020) films, and creations by both
U.S.-based and international indie comics artists and writers. This
book will appeal to scholars and students of new media, narrative
theory, cultural studies, sociocultural anthropology,
folkloristics, English/literary studies, and popular culture,
transmedia storytelling researchers, and both creators and fans of
superhero comics.
