Editors: Prof. Dr. Volker Wehdeking and Prof. Dr. Gunter E. Grimm. The connection between literary studies and media studies is of current and rapidly increasing relevance. Particularly outstanding theses from the Hochschule der Medien Stuttgart and the University of Duisburg-Essen link research on contemporary international literature with aspects of intermediality and media transition, such as film and audiobooks, screenplays and comics. Aspects of media criticism, literary media reflection, target audience relevance, and media-related generational issues are also taken into account.
