However, they were developed and often treated as separate critical frameworks.In this second joint workshop of the research partnerships in intermedial studies between the University of Edinburgh and Meiji University (Tokyo, Japan), Linnaeus University (Sweden) and Aix-Marseille University (France), we wish to investigate the shared theoretical concerns between these two areas, renegotiating text-based approaches to World Literature with methods developed to study the intersections between other art forms.This event will mark the launch of the new Edinburgh University Press book series “Edinburgh Critical Studies in World Literature and Intermediality”, which shares the key aims of the workshop.Find out more about the book seriesProgrammeTo view the full programme details, you can visit the Intermediality blog.
