Abstract

For some years now, we have observed a tendency in contemporary productions to get involved in a network in which the story unfolds across multiple platforms and several media converge and intertwine, a condition that is called transmedia. Transmedia narrative designates the use of several media platforms that converge in order to tell a story, in which each medium makes a unique contribution to that. This study examines the way transmedia narrative narrates stories, as well as the kinds of stories that are normally told by means of transmedia narrative.
