Young Adult Literature - Transmedia Transformations

Klappentext Young adult literature is often referred to as the originating source for film adaptations that turn into large transmedia storyworlds and franchises. This is, however, only one of the transmedia interactions involving young adult literature in modern culture. This Element unfolds these relations focusing on transmedia practices that bridge the dominant public discursive split between print based and digital media. Today print and digital products work together as well as independently in interconnected networks and these practices puncture ideas of a media hierarchy. Specifically, it is demonstrated how literature for young people take part in transmedia storytelling on a macro level but also in so-called cluster works that work as transmedia storytelling on a micro level. Vorwort This Element exposes the wide range of transmedia relations that contemporary young adult literature is entangled in. Zusammenfassung Young adult literature is often referred to as the originating source for film adaptations that turn into large transmedia storyworlds and franchises. This Element unfolds these relations focusing on transmedia practices that bridge the dominant public discursive split between print based and digital media. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
