Invitation to Submit to the IssueWe are living in an age of intermediality and heterogeneity of the field of artistic practices, in which any rigid boundaries between individual artistic domains have long disappeared. Today “in art anything can interact with anything else.” Therefore, if we intend to view literature as a phenomenon transcending the limitations of language, one which consists of a multitude of media, we need to initiate a perspective which can extract the complex, synthetic and yet hybrid nature of literary texts, and abandon the strictly literature-centred approach, which has guarded the aesthetics of a “pure work of art” for decades. That seems obvious in the age of visual culture as each medium holds its own complex and heterogeneous status. Yet it might be prudent to consider whether intermediality has not already been a feature of artistic projects for a long time, and whether one realises the hybrid nature of the medium of a literary text (including in its earlier than modern forms) that does not expose the medium’s previously unnoticed, omitted and marginalised aspects and meanings.
