Transmedia is dead: long live transmedia! (or life, passion and the decline of a concept)
Concepts have a life cycle that goes through their birth, development and decadence. Like biological or technological species, words are born, grow, develop and enter a period of decline that, in many cases, can mean death and burial between the pages of an old dictionary.

Como las especies biológicas o tecnológicas, las palabras nacen, crecen, se desarrollan y entran en un período de declive que, en muchos casos, puede significar la muerte y su entierro en las páginas de un viejo diccionario. Este artículo se concentra en un único concepto – ‘transmedia’ (‘narrativas transmedia’) – y compara su evolución con otros conceptos clave de la cibercultura de los años 1990: ‘hipertexto’, ‘multimedia’, ‘hipermedio’, etc. Considerando el carácter exploratorio de esta investigación, la evolución de los conceptos se representará utilizando el nGram Viewer de Google. La trayectoria de ‘transmedia’ es analizada tanto en el circuito profesional como en el académico/científico, teniéndose en consideración las diferentes reglas semánticas de circulación y apropiación a la que estos campos están sujetos. El trabajo concluye con una ref lexión final sobre el futuro de ‘transmedia’ y una evaluación acerca de posibles conceptos alternativos.Universidad de Buenos Aires202020202019info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10230/45898reponame:Repositorio Digital de la UPFinstname:Universitat Pompeu FabraInglésLIS.

| description |
Concepts have a life cycle that goes through their birth, development and decadence. Like biological or technological species, words are born, grow, develop and enter a period of decline that, in many cases, can mean death and burial between the pages of an old dictionary. This paper focuses on a single concept – ‘transmedia’ (‘transmedia storytelling’) – and compares its evolution with other key concepts of the 1990s cybercultures: ‘hypertext’, ‘multimedia’, ‘hypermedia’, etc. Considering the exploratory nature of this research, the evolution of the concepts will be represented using Google’s nGram Viewer. The trajectory of “transmedia” is analysed both in the professional and academic/scientific circuits and the different semantic circulation and appropriation rules these environments are subject to are considered. The paper ends with a final ref lection on the future of ‘transmedia’ and an evaluation of possible alternative concepts. |
