Intermediality Sudies (an overview)

This interview refers to the contribution of the editors-in-chief of Revista 2i: Estudos de Identidade e Intermedialidade [2i Journal: Identity and Intermediality Studies] of the Centre for Humanistic Studies of the University of Minho (Portugal) – Eunice Ribeiro and Xaquín Núñez Sabarís – to the broader survey conducted by Ágnes Pethő on the current state of the art in Intermedial Studies under the title “Current issues of intermedial scholarship discussed with editors of book series and journals specializing on intermediality”. The full text of this survey, including the contribution extracted here, is published in the Romanian scientific journal Acta Universitatis Sapientiae - Film and Media Studies, vol. 26 (2024), edited by Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania. As the survey’s author summarizes in her abstract, “[t]he participants in this discussion were asked by Ágnes Pethő to answer five groups of questions with the aim of providing an inspection of key issues affecting the study of intermediality, and to offer an overview of ideas that have emerged from the diversification of intermedial scholarship practiced in various parts of the world. Although far from comprehensive in its covering of geographical areas or publication outlets, with some of the answers more succinct than the others, this survey puts a spotlight on important publications and theoretical concerns of intermedial scholarship today. It probably raises even more questions that might be the focus of further debates” (2024, p. 1).
