Komparatystyka intermedialna
Year: 2016
Type: article
Abstract: The paper focuses on the current situation of the discipline of comparative literature (“indiscipline”), particularly on the present condition and tasks of intermedial comparative literature. In the latest humanities intermediality permits to examine all possible connections and fusions of arts which have existed since the ancient times till the 21st century (i.a. so-called intermedial literature) and to describe today’s social communication. The author refers to intermediality as a phenomenon of contemporary culture (intermedial art and cultural communication in the era of new media), modern literature, intermedial comparative literature and intermedial studies, and to the condition of a man in the media society (the inevitable process of “expanding” the perception). In this context, he argues that intermedial comparative literature should develop a new version of audio-visual anthropology.
