Jeden, by wszystkimi rządzić. Świat transmedialny (transmedial world) a uniwersum Wiedźmina
Journal Title: Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The article makes use of Lisbeth Klastrup and Susana Tosca’s notion of transmedial world which has not been introduced to Polish humanities so far. The notion serves here to describe the characteristics of the Witcher universe encompassing books, movies, TV series, video games trilogy, role-playing games and comics. The analysis of the Witcher’s world is also the point of departure for a comparative study between the way the transmedial world is constructed and transmedial story as described in Henry Jenkins’s Convergence Culture. Additionally, it enables the author to comment upon the narrative dynamics of fantasy worldbuilding which differs considerably from traditional mechanisms of representation. Cet article reprend la notion de monde transmédiatique de Lisbeth Klastrup et Susana Tosca, pour décrire la spécificité de l’univers du Sorceleur, qui englobe déjà des livres, des films, une série télévisée, un jeu vidéo et des bandes dessinées. Or l’analyse de cet univers servira de prétexte pour comparer la contruction du monde transmédatique et le récit transmédiatique décrit par Henry Jenkins dans la Culture de la convergence, de même que pour aborder le problème de la dynamique narrative responsable de la construction des mondes fantastiques (worldbuilding), qui est bien différente des mécanismes traditionnels de la représentation.
