Narratives are everywhere—and since a significant part of
contemporary media culture is defined by narrative forms, media
studies need a genuinely transmedial narratology. Against this
background, Transmedial Narratology and Contemporary Media Culture
focuses on the intersubjective construction of storyworlds as well
as on prototypical forms of narratorial and subjective
representation. This book provides not only a method for the
analysis of salient transmedial strategies of narrative
representation in contemporary films, comics, and video games but
also a theoretical frame within which medium-specific approaches
from literary and film narratology, from comics studies and game
studies, and from various other strands of media and cultural
studies may be applied to further our understanding of narratives
across media.
