Contemporary culture is packed with fantasy and science fiction storyworlds extending across multiple media platforms. This book explores the myriad ways in which imaginary worlds use media like films, novels, videogames, comic books, toys and increasingly user-generated content to captivate and energise contemporary audiences.
'Transmedia Television' explores attitudes towards the dramatic changes that television has undergone since the turn of the 21st century due to the development of digital technologies. It asks to what extent audiences are embracing these changes and what 'television' means in a multiplatform media landscape.
