description This article looks at some of the fundamental problems that feed into recent debate and research on transmedia narratives and/or transmedia storytelling. These issues have been approached as questions or challenges for all the disciplines involved in the discussions (comparative media studies, transmedia narratology, game studies, cultural studies and comparative literature): from the key elements of the potential novelty of transmedia storytelling or transmedia narratives, through to the new role of audiences, the declining influence of the narrative factor as it is overtaken by the building of storyworlds and transmedia characters; the influence of videogames, attention and comprehension deficit to the role of adaptation in TS; the “demediating” effect or the loss of media specificity in TS theory; the importance of collaborative creation and how to stimulate it for new (academic/business) research projects and teaching, in order to respond to the new industry dynamics and sociocultural habits. In interviews, made and conducted by Domingo Sánchez-Mesa, these issues, among others, have been put to three prominent figures in academic research and the creative professions in the area of new media: Espen Aarseth, Robert Pratten and Carlos A. Scolari. The three-way dialogue, that also has connections with other articles in this edition, has generated a polyphonic discourse that aims to produce a critical x-ray of our object of study.

Dichas cuestiones han sido planteadas, en tanto preguntas o retos para las disciplinas implicadas en este debate (estudios comparados de medios, narratología transmedial, game studies, estudios culturales y literatura comparada): desde las claves de la posible novedad del transmedia storytelling o de las narrativas transmediales, pasando por el nuevo papel de las audiencias, la pérdida de peso del factor narrativo en favor de la construcción de mundos (storyworlds) y personajes transmediales; la influencia de los videojuegos, el déficit de atención y comprensión al papel de las adaptaciones en el TS; el efecto «demediador» o de pérdida de especificidad mediática en la teoría del TS; la importancia de la creación colaborativa y su estímulo para nuevos proyectos de investigación (académico-empresariales) y docencia que respondan a estas nuevas dinámicas industriales y hábitos socioculturales. Dichas cuestiones, entre otras, se han articulado en entrevistas realizadas por Domingo Sánchez-Mesa a tres personalidades destacadas de la investigación académica y la creación profesional en el ámbito de los nuevos medios: Espen Aarseth, Robert Pratten y Carlos A. Scolari. El diálogo cruzado a tres bandas y conectado, a su vez, con otros textos de este volumen ha generado un discurso polifónico que pretende ajustarse a la radiografía crítica del propio objeto de estudio.This article is part of the project Narrativas transmediales: nuevos modos de ficción audiovisual, comunicación periodística y performance en la era digital (Reference CSO2013-47288-P), directed by professor Domingo Sánchez-Mesa.
