Moving Between World(views) with Database Narratives
2 years ago 106
This post is part of a series written by contributors to Imagining
Transmedia, a new book of essays published by the MIT Press. The book
explores how transmedia techniques are being used in a wide range of
settings, from entertainment and education to health care, journalism,
politics, urban planning, and more. In this post, Zoyander Street discusses
their chapter “Cis Penance: Transmedia Database Narratives,” which explores
their own interactive documentary work about transgender people in terms of
concepts that come from Japanese media studies scholarship: database
narratives and sekaikan (worldview).
