The anthology "Narratives Crossing Boundaries. Storytelling in a Transmedial and Transdisciplinary Context" by ifs Prof. Dr. Joachim Friedmann has just been published by transcript Verlag. The open access title is also available for download free of charge.
As the dominant narrative forms in the age of media convergence, films and games call for a transmedial perspective in narratology. Games allow a participatory reception of the story, bringing the transgression of the ontological boundary between the narrated world and the world of the recipient into focus. These diverse transgressions – medial and ontological – are the subject of this transdisciplinary compendium, which covers the subject in an interdisciplinary way from various perspectives: game studies and media studies, but also sociology and psychology, to take into account the great influence of storytelling on social discourses and human behavior.
