Verpixelte Bildgeschichten. Literarische Illustration als hypermediale Narrationsform?

Abstract

In view of the postmodern subjects of nonlinear, discontinuous storytelling, today the phenomenon of digital literature is talked of. But where are the pictures illustrated a literary text in these digital narratives? Is there a digital picture, which can be compared with an illustration of a literary book? With an example of an “interactive illustration” (William Gibsons Johnny Mnemonic) this study tries to find out, if in this media changeover digital storytelling put a different way and also changed its topic.
