Intermedial theater : performance philosophy, transversal poetics, and the future of affect
This book explores relationships between intermedial theater, consciousness, memory, objects, subjectivity, and affect through productive engagement with the performance aesthetics, socio-cognitive theory, and critical methodology of transversal poetics alongside other leading philosophical approaches to performance. It offers the first sustained analysis of the work of Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Jean Baudrillard, and Friedrich Nietzsche in relation to the contemporary European theater of Jan Lauwers and Needcompany, Romeo Castellucci and Societas Raffaello Sanzio, Thomas Ostermeier, Rodrigo Garcia and La Carniceria Teatro, and the Transversal Theater Company. It connects contemporary uses of objects, simulacra, and technologies in both posthumanist discourse and postdramatic theater to the transhistorically and culturally mediating power of Shakespeare as a means by which to discuss the affective impact of intermedial theater on today's audiences.

An Intermedial Cabinet of Obscurities: Media-Archaeological Excavations in Performance
This article frames the essay-cluster Theatre, Media, and the Archaeology of Spectacle as an “intermedial cabinet of obscurities” and argues that media archaeology, paired with intermedial performance studies, enables theatre history to be rewritten as relational micro-histories rather than as a single developmental line. Drawing on Huhtamo’s genealogy of cultural topoi, Zielinski’s variantology, and Elsaesser’s fragments as epistemological probes, this text shows how the journal has long hosted archaeological gestures: studies of fireworks, moving panoramas, mechanical theatres, paper theatres, puppetry, and Raszewski’s reading of early peep-show boxes via Furttenbach. Methodologically, the article combines close readings of these interventions with an account of perceptual dispositives informed by Crary’s claim that vision is historically organized through shifting assemblages.

Cinematicity in media history
\"This collection ... [focuses] on the relations of cinema to other media, artworks and diverse forms of entertainment, demarcating their sometimes conjoined, sometimes separate, histories ... [and] seeks to make visible the complex ways in which media anticipate, interfere with and draw on one another, demonstrating how what we have called 'cinematicity' makes itself felt in practices of seeing, reading, writing and thinking both before and after the 'birth' of cinema\"--Page 1.

Rethinking the Story so Far: Transmedial Considerations on Literariness and Narrativity
This book review covers two recent works which explore contemporary narrative and literary media through a transmedial lens. As will be argued, The Routledge Companion to Literary Media (2023) approaches literariness as part of a media ecology rather than as being present in isolated art forms. The essay collection edited by Ensslin, Round, and Thomas deals with how literature and other (analogue as well as digital) media shape each other and how this affects readers. In doing so, the contributors consider multiple aspects and actors involved in the production, distribution, and consumption of literary media ranging from locative narratives to podcasts, as well as their diverse materialities. In a similar vein, Playing at Narratology (2019) treats narrativity as a phenomenon which resists rigid medial classification. Punday, who had previously explored the role of the novel in the present-day media landscape in Writing at the Limit (2012), revisits narrative in a broader sense as a transmedial phenomenon and revises concepts from traditional narratology with the help of digital media artefacts. The essay discusses these volumes with particular reference to literature’s embeddedness in the media system and the importance of accounting for medium-specific affordances.

Intermediality, life writing, and American studies : interdisciplinary perspectives
This collection of essays gathers innovative and compelling research on intermedial forms of life writing by an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars. Among their subjects of scrutiny are biographies, memoirs, graphic novels, performances, paratheatricals, musicals, silent films, movies, documentary films, and social media. The volume covers a time frame ranging from the nineteenth century to the immediate present. In addition to a shared focus on theories of intermediality and life writing, the authors apply to their subjects both firmly established and cutting-edge theoretical approaches from Cultural Narratology, Cultural History, Biographical Studies, Social Media Studies, Performance Studies, and Visual Culture Studies. The collection also features interviews with practitioners in biography who have produced monographs, films, and novels.

POISONOUS IMAGES
This article explores poisonous images—images that both register and trouble the visibility of toxicity in Taranto, Italy, one of Europe’s most polluted cities due to the continent’s largest steel factory. Centered on photographs taken in the city’s contaminated cemetery, the essay asks how slow violence can be apprehended ethnographically when pollution remains unevenly perceptible and causally elusive. I argue that the photographic image, beyond its forensic or legal promise, functions as an ethnographic hinge between matter and meaning, visibility and refusal, foregrounding aesthetics as a political as much as a sensory problem. Through three photographic acts produced by cemetery workers, a local performance artist, and myself (as anthropologist), the article proposes “flickering” as an anthropological method—attuned to the intermittence between visible/invisible, absence/presence, and the oscillation of death in everyday life. These poisonous images do not stabilize evidence: they pulse in and out of consciousness, capturing uncertainty and unequally distributed exposures and sensibilities. The cemetery emerges as both site and figure for grasping the metamorphosis of death amid the environmental crisis, where mourning and inheritance remain perpetually unsettled.

From the Virgin to the Harlot and Back: Intermedial Mouvance in 'Fortunatus' (1509-1600) Von der Jungfrau zur Dirne und zurück: Intermediale Mouvance im 'Fortunatus' (1509-1600)
In the 16th century, the prose novel 'Fortunatus' underwent an intermedial mouvance process across a number of illustrated print editions, in which base texts and woodcut illustrations responded to each other in a transformative manner. This attests to the novel's turbulent reception-history,
which is particularly evident in the episode of the Virgin of Fortune. The reuse of visual material from Georg Wickram's 'Ritter Galmy' moreover helps to support a didactic reading.
