In line with the concept of convergence theorized by Henry Jenkins, which posits an expansive and collaborative pattern of textuality, it is generally accepted that a text is dispersed/regenerates diachronically and synchronically on multiple platforms and across different users. In keeping with such theoretical and methodological premises, it seems appropriate, on the anniversary of the first edition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus (1818), to present a collection of essays on Frankenstein by international scholars from converging disciplines such as humanities, musicology, film studies, television studies, media studies, English and digital humanities. Transmedia Creatures: Frankenstein's Afterlives highlights how "cultural content" is redistributed through multiple media, forms and modes of production (including user-generated ones from "below") that often appear synchronously and are able to dismantle and renew established readings of the text, while at the same time incorporating and revitalizing aspects that have always been central to it. Ultimately, Frankenstein, as evidenced by this collection, is paradoxically enriched by the heteroglossia of preconceptions/misreadings/overreadings that attend it, and that reveal the complex interweaving of perceptions and responses it generates"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft, $d 1797-1851 $x Adaptations. 600 10 $a Frankenstein, Victor $c (Fictitious character) $v Miscellanea. 600 00 $a Frankenstein's Monster $c (Fictitious character) $v Miscellanea. 650 0 $a Monsters in mass media. 700 1 $a Saggini, Francesca, $e editor of compilation. 700 1 $a Soccio, Anna Enrichetta, $e editor of compilation. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402024257.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=631D770C26B811E994CCD44997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
