Media in general and narrative media in particular have the potential to 
represent not only a variety of both possible and actual worlds but also 
the perception and consciousness of characters in these worlds. Hence, 
media can be understood as "qualia machines," as technologies that allow 
for the production of subjective experiences within the affordances and 
limitations posed by the conventions of their specific mediality. This 
edited collection examines the transmedial as well as the 
medium-specific strategies employed by the verbal representations 
characteristic for literary texts, the verbal-pictorial representations 
characteristic for comics, the audiovisual representations 
characteristic for films, and the interactive representations 
characteristic for video games. Combining theoretical perspectives from 
analytic philosophy, cognitive theory, and narratology with approaches 
from phenomenology, psychosemiotics, and social semiotics, the 
contributions collected in this volume provide a state-of-the-art map of 
current research on a wide variety of ways in which subjectivity can be 
represented across conventionally distinct media.
