Transmedial Development of the Narreme. A Virtual Apex
Transmedial Development of the Narreme. A Virtual Apex

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to present a brief diachronic and transmedial overview of the development of the features of narration and its atomic unit, the narreme. Across media, narratives change, and so do the techniques and processes involved, giving rise to several distinctions in terms of genre, narreme delivery, audience involvement and relationship between audience and author. This is achieved through an attempt at identifying certain common features of narratives across media and to properly define and isolate the concept of narreme, for lack of a formal definition. The first section of this paper exemplifies and outlines said features, while the second part aims to demonstrate how said features and concepts developed transmedially, as well as how the fairly recent virtual medium provided grounds for a paradigmatic shift.
