Summary/Abstract: Integrated in a developing and multi-sided media network, literature faces a challenge from new communication technologies in their latest guises. Our study takes this opportunity to assess the potential opening of established literary theories towards new interdisciplinary approaches, and to review some key concepts such as intertextuality. In what follows we will look at the gradual transformation of this concept, from intermediality to transmediality and, in certain cases, to remediality. We will also try to explain the constant swing in transmedial culture between Scylla and Charybdis: between the push and pull of challenging Reality or just replacing it.
