Description
The Internet has not only altered the way we live, communicate, and think, it has also breathed new life into the contemporary book market. More and more 21st-century writers invoke new media in their literary texts and explore the limits of the novel as a medium by using intermedial and transmedial storytelling techniques. Owing to the rapid changes in the media landscape and the book market, new literary experiments and genres in printed, electronic, and enhanced formats are cropping up nearly every day.
This interdisciplinary study on 'fictions of the Internet' gives a broad and extensive overview of the manifold tendencies in contemporary writing that are influenced by the Internet and new media on a thematic, structural, and transmedial level. It combines text-centered with transgeneric, transmedial, and cultural-oriented approaches, and focuses on three main concepts-namely, 'intermediality', 'transmedia storytelling', and 'genre/generic change'. Close readings of texts by Dave Eggers, Jarett Kobek, Lucy Kellaway, Nick Hornby, Jeffery Deaver, Marisha Pessl, and Andreas Winkelmann show that contemporary writers do not simply add intermedial references to their stories, but instead use media for a variety of storytelling purposes. The study argues that contemporary novels have creatively responded to the changing media landscape with regard to their content, form, materiality, technological support, and interactive and participatory features, and proposes new generic terms for literary innovations that are related to the Internet and new media.
