Call For Papers

Serialised narratives, present inherently an intermedial storytelling nature that foster intricate intertextual dialogues, inviting active reader participation in deciphering connections and nuances across diverse media platforms. Moretti's exploration of the role of serialisation in literature, sheds light on the impact and evolution of serialised narratives across historical and contemporary contexts.

This participatory framework encourages readers to assume the role of co-creators within the narrative experience. This journal issue seeks to investigate the empowering aspect of intermedial storytelling, granting readers agency in the construction of the narrative. It endeavours to examine the nuanced ways in which readers actively mould and shape their individual reading trajectories across varied media formats.

We extend an invitation for contributions to a thematic issue centred on the intermedial and intertextual dimensions prevalent in serialised fiction. This initiative aims to scrutinise the interplay between diverse media formats inherent within serialised narratives.

One focal point of this scholarly undertaking involves the exploration of how the intermedial framework of serialised fiction actively engages audiences across multifarious narrative mediums. Additionally, it seeks to comprehend the manner in which readers actively engage with and navigate narratives across a spectrum of media formats, thereby enriching their immersion and comprehension of the storylines.

Below, we present a list of suggested topics that reflect the diverse dimensions and potential areas of exploration within our thematic issue on serialised narratives. While these topics offer a foundational framework, contributors are encouraged to explore innovative avenues and novel perspectives beyond this list. The aim is to foster a comprehensive and inclusive discussion. Scholars and researchers are welcome to delve into areas beyond these suggestions to enrich the discourse and contribute novel insights to our collective exploration of serialised narratives.
