Monography profile

The aim of the monograph is to present an application and practical development of the concept of remediation. Two decades after its original proposal by J.D. Bolter and R. Grusin, remediation remains one of the major tools of understanding new media. The authors of this book examine its subject from the perspective of Central and Eastern Europe. Examples are drawn from artistic and literary practices in Croatia, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Slovakia and Slovenia. The theoretical frameworks solidify and extend the concept of remediation to new phenomena and areas of critical discourse, from biomedia and genetic transcoding to the remediation of textual media in the Catholic liturgy. As a result, the notion of medium, the nature of mediation and the essence of storytelling are redefined.
