Abstract

Introduction: Intermedial Aesthetics: Korean Literature , Film , and Ar t Theodore Hughes and Jina Kim Why do we encounter the current emphasis on transnational and interdisciplina ry work? The transnational and the interdisciplina ry are often invoked in the same breadth, but what is the relations hip between them? Both imply a reframing of scholarship in the name of crossing, moving across borders that have fo reclosed an awareness of connections, combinations, intertextual/visual/au ral relations that cannot be bounded off by the posi ting of cultural or geopoli tical "areas." Suc h crossings resemble the movemen ts of the intermedial, which, in our view, can se rve to place the transnational and the interdisciplina ry in a close r, consti­ tu tive relations hip with each other. Leena Eili ttii summa rizes Irina Rajewsky's defini tion of "intermedial coexistence" as follows: Media combination points to those works of art which benefit from two or three more forms of art, such as opera, film or the photo novel. Media change highligh ts works of art that transform one form of art into another, such as takes place in the filming of literature. The third form of intermediality draws attention
