Kérchy traces how a story spills over from one media platform into another, transgressing the confines of the written text towards visual, acoustic, kinetic, and digital new media regimes of
representation that all interact in the coproduction of a fictional reality’s increasingly elaborate fantasy realm, a transmedia Wonderland realized by/in the ever-expanding corpus of late 20th
and early 21st century adaptation of Victorian fairy-tale fantasies Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1871). Her goal is to explore how intermedial shifts
elicit different modes of enchantment and disenchantment, and to comment on limits and potentials of the fantasy genre as well as the dys/functioning of imagination. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold,
