Description
Seriality has become a predominant characteristic of contemporary literature, theatre, tv-series, feature films, narrative games, podcasts, YouTube channels, Instagram and other forms of storytellingsocial media... Seriality is traditionally associated with repetition and variation. However, our interest seems to have shifted to the dynamic qualities of seriality. What strikes us and interests us today is not so much repetition but evolution, the development of (story) lines. As a result, the narrative character appears to grow in importance, something that goes hand in hand with the popularity of what is covered by the broad umbrella term storytelling. Although seriality is often explicitly linked to popular culture (Kelleter 2017), an increased interest in “seriality as a strategy” can be observed in all kinds of art forms.At this year’s seminarof the Centre for Literary and Intermedial Crossings (CLIC) organized incollaboration with the research group “New dramaturgy in audiovisual fiction” of RITCS, School of Arts and with Cultural Studies and the Doctoral school for the Humanities and Social Sciencesof KULeuven, we also want to initiate discursive exchanges between academic and artistic researchers,about seriality in different media, in different traditions and especially about the ways in which this seriality manifests itself in different narrative arts.| Period | 11 Dec 2020 |
