Críticas:

"Structurally, the book is very well organised, with introductions to each section and an abstract of each chapter facilitating a survey of the contents of the book. It contains an excellent list of references and is well illustrated with fifty-three photographs and diagrams. I am sure this book will provide an excellent resource for scholars and arts practitioners interested in pursuing the impact of new media upon a diverse range of art practices. It provides a welcome addition to the emerging body of literature available on new media and performance." - in: Contemporary Theatre Review 16/4 (2006), 517-518 "An admirable addition to the bookshelf: in its investigation of intermediality this collection takes us to the heart of the debate about the nature of theatre itself and is thus essential reading for anyone, be they theoretician or practitioner, interested in contemporary theatre and performance." - in: TotalTheatre Magazine 18/2 (Summer 2006), p. 31

Reseña del editor:

Intermediality: the incorporation of digital technology into theatre practice, and the presence of film, television and digital media in contemporary theatre is a significant feature of twentieth-century performance. Presented here for the first time is a major collection of essays, written by the Theatre and Intermediality Research Group of the International Federation for Theatre Research, which assesses intermediality in theatre and performance. The book draws on the history of ideas to present a concept of intermediality as an integration of thoughts and medial processes, and it locates intermediality at the inter-sections situated in-between the performers, the observers and the confluence of media, medial spaces and art forms involved in performance at a particular moment in time. Referencing examples from contemporary theatre, cinema, television, opera, dance and puppet theatre, the book puts forward a thesis that the intermedial is a space where the boundaries soften and we are in-between and within a mixing of space, media and realities, with theatre providing the staging space for intermediality. The book places theatre and performance at the heart of the 'new media' debate and will be of keen interest to students, with clear relevance to undergraduates and post-graduates in Theatre Studies and Film and Media Studies, as well as the theatre research community.
