*Ekphrasis. Images, Cinema, Theory, Media*

“Crossing Narrative Boundaries: Film and the Other Media”, Vol. 21, 
Issue 2 (2019)

 From times immemorial people have been telling stories to one another; 
humanity at large as well as entire civilizations have been built open 
this storytelling impetus. First orally, later through other media and 
art forms, stories have spread among cultures, eras, and generations 
engendering an ever growing dissemination. Technical and technological 
developments have helped in this enterprise, across a vast array of 
long-lasting and canonical art forms as well as more popular and recent 
ones. Film is precisely at that intersection, which makes it a 
privileged form for media confluences at the service of narrative spreading.

But how does this dialogue between film and other media and/or art forms 
operate? How are stories conveyed form the former to the latter(s), and 
vice versa? To what purpose and through what means? What, if anything, 
changes in that transposition, and what remains the same? How does 
creativity work at this border-crossing and exactly what does it entail? 
How can film and other media be contained in or influence one another, 
not just in fictional-oriented works, but also, in keeping up with the 
times, in more factual and self-representative artistic outputs?

The Vol. 21, Issue 2/2019 of Ekphrasis looks for novel and creative 
approaches on film and mediality at large, be it dual-, multi-, -inter 
or transmediality. We aim to contribute to the reflection on media 
collaboration from the perspective of the content, i.e. the subject of 
the films and other art works, i.e., its narrative aspects, whether 
fictional or not. This, of course, is highly influenced by the nature of 
the media/arts involved. Therefore, we will prioritize submissions that 
are solidly grounded on theoretical work already published on this field 
and that combine the argument on content with the requirements made by 
the different media/arts involved.

Suggested Topics: (not limited to this sample)

Intertextuality, intermediality, intramediality.
Mediation, remediation, transmediation.
Art forms as qualified media.
Phenomena of hybridization.
Transfer among media.
Narrative adaptation, appropriation.
Cinematic ekphrasis.

Remakes, sequels, prequels, spin-offs, reboots.
Transmedia storytelling projects.

Impossible worlds, characters, and narrative structures across media.

Narrative genres in-between or across media.
Alternative realities, the reworking facts and fiction.
Myths, legends, fairytales and post-celluloid adaptation.
