This book is about intermediality as an approach to analysing and
understanding media change. Intermediality and Media Change is critical
of technological determinism that characterises 'new media discourse'
about the ongoing digitalization, framed as a revolution and creating
sharp contrasts between old and new media. Intermediality instead
emphasises paying attention to continuities between media of all types
and privileges a comparative perspective on technological changes in
media over time and space.
