Since Henry Jenkins published his well-known article "Transmedia Storytelling" in Technology Review (2003), transmediality has become a sort of crossroads for researchers from many different disciplines (Media Studies, Narratology, Visual Arts, Marketing, Comparative Literature, Semiotics, Theater & Performance Studies, Sociology, etc.) as well as for authors and participative audiences of the new emergent modes of multiplatform creation and production of distributed narratives conveyed by those transmedial schemes.

Besides, intermediality, with adaptation practices at its core, crossmedia franchises and the renewed theories on fictional storyworlds, are to get a considerable attention within this volume, as a highly stimulating space of inquiry and debate where digital arts, new media and interactive technologies get blended. Based on those premises, the next number of Artnodes launches the following thematic lines for dialogue and discussion:

1. Terminological and conceptual discussion on transmediality, transmedia storytelling, intermediality,  crossmedia, narrativity & fictional storyworlds.
2. Visual Arts and Media Studies at the crossroads of transmediality.
3. Developments and projections of theories about transmediality on e-literature, theater & performance studies.
4. Transmedial Literacy and new educational and cultural spaces.
