Abstract

Intermediality is based on the principle of dialogue between disciplinary fields, is linked to the cult of interdisciplinarity and the so-called conceptual integration theory (‘conceptual blending’; cf. Schneider & Hartner, 2012). In the framework of these interactional movements, the following aspects entailed by intermediality are highlighted: a dynamic and trans-semiotic conception of the narrative and the media discourses; the tendency to cross boundaries between languages; the refusal of a hierarchy that establishes priorities between cultural practices (such as literature is superior to cinema and cinema to television). The narrative with intermedial propensity develops a dynamic and transnarrative vocation that requests, on the receptive plane, a correlative dynamism of reading and analysis, with the resulting exegetical deepening.
