Adaptation and Beyond: Hybrid Transtextualities

This interdisciplinary collection focuses on recent adaptations, both experimental and popular, that put hybridity, transtextuality, and transmediality at play. It reframes adaptation in terms of the transmedia concept of “world-building,” which accurately captures the complexity and multidirectionality of contemporary scattered and ubiquitous practices of adaptation.

The editors argue that the process of moving stories or their elements across different media platforms and repurposing them for new uses results in the production of hybrid transtextualities.
