<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In her lecture “The Dynamic Essence of Transmedia Storytelling: A Graphical Approach to the Journey to the West in Korea”, which will take place on Thursday, 26.09.2024 from 6 pm, Dr. Barbara Wall (University of Copenhagen)
will discuss the well-known Chinese novel “The Journey to the West” in various art forms in the context of the Korean version. The lecture is designed as a booktalk based on her recently published monograph.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This talk challenges many typical assumptions about popular literary classics via analysis of sixty Korean variations of The Journey to the West, including novels and poems, but also films, comics, paintings, and dance
performances. In contrast to the typical assumption that literary classics like The Journey to the West are stable texts with a single original, Barbara Wall approaches The Journey to the West as a dynamic text comprised of all its variations. From Korean
scholars in the 14th century to boy bands like Seventeen in the 21st century, she argues that all the creators of such variations participate in the ongoing story world known as The Journey. Wall employs literary and quantitative analysis, ample graphic visualizations,
and in-depth descriptions of classroom games to find new ways to understand the dynamics of transmedia storytelling and popular engagement with story worlds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
