In breve

The volume collects papers that focus mainly on the notion of remediation as a form of interlinguistic, intersemiotic and audiovisual translation. In particular, they propose not only readings of literary and other kinds of spoken and written texts, but also of reality as such, in all its cultural, social, political and historical facets. Moreover, the contributions not only work as a valid analytical tool for understanding the contemporary world we live in, highlighting tastes, fears and developments, but they also bring to the fore the strategies we adopt in the process of reading, interpreting, constructing, re-constructing and translating the reality that surrounds us. In sum, they provide helpful insights into remediation as the process of codification, de-codification and re-codification of our world.
