It reframes adaptation in terms of the transmedia concept of \"world-building,\" which accurately captures the complexity and multidirectionality of contemporary scattered and ubiquitous practices of adaptation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe editors argue that the process of moving stories or their elements across different media platforms and repurposing them for new uses results in the production of hybrid transtextualities. The book demonstrates how hybrid textualities augment narrative and literary forms as goals of their world-building, finding unexpected sites of cross-pollination, expansion, and appropriation in spoken-word and dance performance, (auto)biographical comics, advertising, Chinese Kun opera, and popular song lyrics. This yoking of hybridity and transmediality yields not only diversified and often commercialized aesthetic forms but also enables the emergence a unique cultural space in-between, a \u003ci\u003emezzaterra \u003c\/i\u003ecapable of addressing current political issues and mobilizing broader audiences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eva C.
