Bridging Intertextuality and Intermediality from a Cultural and Literary Perspective
In this paper we argue that technological applications, and the intermedial practices that the World Wide Web allow can play an important role in developing educational and cultural policies and practices, expanding the stock of shared heritage while maintaining cultural diversity, and multiplicity, despite problems such as accessibility, the digital divide and growing economic focus, copyright and open-access, the organization of vast amounts of information and its preservation as part of our cultural heritage. Our previous research has emphasized the potential of intermediality to serve as a model that not only increases our understanding of the mechanisms of media convergence but also applies to parallel phenomena in intercultural and educational contexts. We have proposed that the basis for a constructive conceptualisation of social change is mediated through technology and that the good use of intermediality as a vehicle for socio-cultural needs to be further explored, both theoretical and practically, in its aspects of production, distribution, and usability.

Senghor on the Rocks: A Georeferenced Electronic Novel
author-submitted abstract: Senghor on the Rocks (SOTR) is the first novel that has been extensively illustrated with the help of online satellite imagery. SOTR was written in the form of a classical novel well before we developed the presented online format for publishing. Because of its linear narrative structure, the consistent first?person perspective of the text and the movement that happens throughout the text, it was very well suited for an adaption as an online "geo?novel" based upon Google Maps. The text of the novel was not changed for the online version, but every scene has been geographically referenced and the chapter structure has been adjusted for online reading habits.
