PHD (Media hybridization and Interactive fiction)

Aug 2017 - Aug 2022
In my dissertation, “(Re)Making Choices: Media Hybridization in Interactive Fiction,” based on case studies drawn from the French videogame industry such as Detroit: Become Human (Quantic Dream, 2018), I argue that interactive fiction – narratives that evolve in response to viewer choices – represents a distinct form of narration and participant engagement that leads to a seemingly paradoxical communal immersion experience.

My dissertation “Transmedia Multiverse: Fairytale Architextuality in Popular Culture. The case of Fables by Bill Willingham (2002-2015),” focuses on the construction of fictional worlds in a transmedia narrative, i.e., a narrative that not only adapts the same story from one medium to another, but also supposes an active reader/viewer/player that looks for different parts of the same storyline or universe on different media. This dissertation proposes an embedded narratology model, based on French structuralism, in which the different narrative levels are constructed as universes that each include several storyworlds where metareferencing is used as a portal to travel in-between universes.
