It has become something of a cliché within the field of narratologyto assert the commercial, aesthetic, and sociocultural relevance ofnarrative representations, but the fact remains that narratives areeverywhere. Whenever we read a novel or a comic, watch a film or anepisode of our favorite television series, or play the latest video game,we are likely to engage with narrative media. Similarly, the intermedialadaptations and transmedial entertainment franchises that havebecome increasingly visible during the past few decades are, at theircore, narrative forms. Since a significant part of contemporary mediaculture is defined by the narratives we tell each other via various media,media studies need a genuinely transmedial narratology.
Focusing on the intersubjective construction of storyworlds as wellas on prototypical forms of narratorial and subjective representation,Transmedial Narratology and Contemporary Media Culture providesnot only a method for the analysis of salient transmedial strategiesof narrative representation in contemporary films, comics, and videogames but also a theoretical frame within which medium-specific approachesfrom literary and film narratology, from comics studies andgame studies, and from various other strands of media and culturalstudies may be employed to further our understanding of narrativesacross media.

Product description

Review

"A cutting-edge contribution to transmedial narratology. . . . A highly recommended book and a solid foundation for further development in its field/s."--Jan Horstmann, Style

"An excellent contribution to transmedial narratology."--Hans-Joachim Backe, Diegesis: Interdisciplinary E-Journal for Narrative Research

"An extremely valuable contribution to the efforts of achieving a truly transmedial perspective without losing sight of the media-specific aspects of texts."--Sarah E. Beyvers, KULT Online-- (7/28/2017 12:00:00 AM)

"Remarkably well informed and thoroughly researched, precise in any criticisms, and elegantly moving through a tremendous amount of work on the various topics, this is an important book for narrative theory and media studies alike."--Daniel Punday, author of Writing at the Limit: The Novel in the New Media Ecology

-- (9/15/2015 12:00:00 AM)

"The adage that 'narrative is everywhere' has always been in need of a theoretical frame and method for analysis, and Thon's carefully argued and well-researched book takes an important step toward such a genuinely transmedial narratology."--Karin Kukkonen, author of Contemporary Comics Storytelling
-- (10/28/2015 12:00:00 AM)

"The work is a meticulous survey of media and narratological scholarship, and one which seems a strong foundation upon which to establish future 'building blocks' of the transmedial narratology project."--Fiona Farnsworth, ImageTexT



"This book is a sustained and utterly convincing demonstration of transmedial narrative theory's ability to address the construction of twenty-first-century storyworlds in films, comics, and video games."--Jared Gardner, author of Projections: Comics and the History of Twenty-First-Century Storytelling

-- (9/15/2015 12:00:00 AM)

"This is a unique feat of narratology, deployed upon an impressive repertoire of contemporary media culture. There simply is no other book that so thoroughly and precisely develops the concept of transmediality."--Susana P. Tosca, coauthor of Understanding Video Games: The Essential Introduction-- (9/15/2015 12:00:00 AM)

"Thon successfully fills the gap of a foundation for transmedial narratology that is remarkable as much for its precise critical re-examination of established narratological terms and concepts as for its own clear terminology and conceptualizations that provide fertile ground for future research."--Michelle Herte, European Comic Art

"Thorough, well-grounded in prominent theory, and useful for scholars of contemporary media and narrative theory."--Erica McCrystal, Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics
