Frames: At the Edge and Beyond

Constructing the Emerging Languages in Computer-Mediated Narratives and Communications

  • Chapter
Interactive Dramaturgies

Part of the book series: X.media.publishing ((XMEDIAPUBL))

Abstract

Multi-media mise-en-scène and narrative explorations from graphic novels to web-screens: this paper proposes to explore some works at the boundaries of specific narrative genres such as graphic novels, comics, illustrated books as well as different media from paper books to Internet websites. By sharing some explorations in interactive visual narratives, more specifically based on graphic novels, also known as “bande dessinée” or “BD” in French, the author is suggesting that the visual grammar of BD (graphic novels) is interesting in further constructing the emerging languages in computer mediated narratives and communications.
