Conference Description

The 6^th conference of the International Society for Intermedial Studies focuses on concepts of “in-betweenness” and “moving across.” These two spatial metaphors capture the tension between stasis and fluidity that underlies all intermediality. The need to map these shifting spaces, to chart directions, and to see where, and how, these inbetween zones connect to other neighbouring spaces has become critical. Intermedial inbetweenness is now a mainstream, rather than marginal, phenomenon, and, as academic disciplines themselves become more fluid, this is an exciting time to explore and re-explore this territory together during this conference.

We invite contributions in the following categories, which address, but are not limited to, the topics outlined below. More detailed context and questions can be found on the full CfP online (See below)
