Abstract:
The concept of intermediality has come to be part of a fixed critical inventory in the debate on literature and the other arts and media. Although there is relative agreement with respect to a definition of intermediality in a broad sense, the research spectrum becomes much more complex, and often contradictory, when precise formal distinctions and the specification and definition of any one particular concept of intermediality are needed. Based on the current state of the question, the present essay specifies one particular approach to intermediality, introducing three more narrowly conceived

The article discusses the Scandinavian approach to intermediality, namely, the ideas of Lars Elleström who defines intermediality as intermodal relationship. The discussion covers a range of questions: approach’s distinction from another model of intermediality (presented by Werner Wolf and Irina O. Rajewsky), its basis, i.e., the semiotic ideas of Charles S. Peirce that are of special importance for intermedial studies, the definition of medium it proposes, and finally, its analytical potential.

Abstract:
This audiovisual essay investigates the intermedial nature of Brazilian film comedies produced during the 1940s and 50s by exploring the musical numbers of Aviso aos navegantes (Calling All Sailors, Watson Macedo, 1950). Brazilian cinema of this period is a privileged arena of different media strategies. Its “mixed” style is informed by Hollywood cinema but also by the domestic influence of radio, Carnival, and by the local forms of comic staging of the teatro de revista (the Brazilian equivalent of music hall or vaudeville). Of particular interest in this regard are the chanchadas, a body of

Abstract:
Abstract The topic of ‘Beckett and music’ has gained considerable attention in recent years. In previous work I have argued that music in Beckett’s plays does not, as some have suggested, exist beyond or exceed the ambiguities of body, knowledge and subjectivity that are apparent in other aspects of his work, but rather that its use parallels and reinforces these processes. If this kind of intermediality, involving music, operates already in some of Beckett’s work, how does it manifest when musicians work with or in relation to it? This question is addressed through a discussion of John Tilbur

Abstract:
Some 30 years after its coining, the notion and concept of intermediality still proves to be of great relevance for many disciplines, ranging from semiotics to communication, media, literary, and social studies. However, in the digital era, intermediality as a work in progress has to meet the challenges of the so-called new media and develop innovative and adequate axes of research. This article presents some basics of the latest state of affairs of intermedia studies and proposes six central axes of future intermedia research. It focuses on the perspectives of an intermedia network history, w

Abstract:
The aim of the thesis is to argue for inherent intermediality of the theatre medium and explore some of its interactions with other media. The argument is positioned alongside the existing approaches to intermediality, in theatre as well as in other fields of study, most of which tend to focus on exploring the effects of the presence of new media technologies in the contemporary culture. Whilst considering a number of existing approaches to intermediality and their bearing on the phenomenon of theatre, this thesis emphasises a necessity to re-examine the received notions of the concepts involv

The thesis investigates and develops a compositional system on intermediality in theatre and performance as a dramaturgical practice through integrative design. The position of the visual/sonic media in theatre and performance has been altered by the digitalisation and networking of media technologies, which enables enhanced dynamic variables in the intermedial processes. The emergent intermediality sites are made accessible by developments in media technologies and form part of broader changes towards a mediatised society: a simultaneous shift in cultural contexts, theatre practice and audien

Almost as soon as this sonic subculture took hold – during the Second Summer of Love in 1988 – and the socio-political impact of the nascent rave scene became clear, it quickly appeared on the radar of journalists, filmmakers and authors, all keen to use society’s cultural preoccupations as source material for their output.

Intermediality has become an umbrella term for a heterogeneous group of concepts as diverse as the creation of an entirely new medium and the mere quotation of a work from one medium in another. Intermedial analyses of specific film texts have appeared sporadically but have shed remarkable light on the influence of other media on film narrative, structure and visual style.
