Dear all,
We won’t have an IMS seminar next week, but on Thursday we have another talk from our Media Impact series titled “Virtually Alive: How Video Games Make Evolution Playable” with Péter Makai, former post doc at IMS.
Description: Video and board games turn evolution into a playable experience. Which strategies are used for making the science of evolution fun? And how does player interaction change the dynamic of evolution? Become wiser on these questions together with Péter Kristóf Makai, in our second talk in the Media Impact series.
Peter Makai recently finished his Crafoord Postdoctoral Fellowship at Linnaeus Unversity Centre of Intermedial and Multimodal Studies. He is currently a KWI International Fellow at the University of Duisburg-Essen's Cultural Studies Institute, studying how theme parks are transmediated into digital and board games. He has published work on Tolkien, games and worldbuilding in Reconstructing Arda, Tolkien Studies, and in Postmodern Reinterpretations of Fairy Tales.
The talk is on June 17, 15.30-16.00 CEST (15 minutes talk, 15 minutes for Q/A).

Dear all,
Welcome to next week’s IMS seminar, where Alzbeta Jurkovicova, a visiting PhD student from Brno, will present her work-in-progress project about Media Integration in the Works of Tage Danielsson.
Abstract:
In my presentation, I first set out to explore media integration in two specific examples of Tage Danielsson's literary works: Mannen som slutade röka: en psykisk thriller and Grallimatik: struntpratets fysiologi. Both these media products are characterized by strong multimodality and they are dominated by several different kinds of semiotic signs. The presentation aims to explore the substantial integration of text and image, as well as to focus on mechanisms that come into play in the process of interpretation and perception of the mentioned works. I analyse how the verbal texts and the still images are connected and communicate together, and how meaning is created through the combination and integration of these expressions in various degrees. In the presentation's third part, I subsequently explore intermedial transfers and transformations present in the film adaptation Mannen som slutade röka.
The seminar is on the 9. June from 10.15-12.00 CEST. As always the seminar will be on zoom: https://lnu-se.zoom.us/j/940933326
