About this book
This book emphasizes humans interacting and participating in making meaning with multimodal resources and relating experience via intermedial means. The contributors explore diverse ways of mediating work, education, arts, and culture, and ask how interactive participation involves experiences of the north either as a physical setting or a more abstract cultural condition that shapes the activity. The ten chapters engage with topical theoretical debate and put novel methodology to test, providing essential reading for scholars and students in this rich and rapidly developing global field of research.
Reviews
“I find the whole concept highly original and fitting in contemporary medial debates. I also find the division between the two sections ingenious.” (–Niklas Salmose, Associate Professor of Literatures in English, Linnaeus University Center for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies, Växjö, Sweden)

Tiina Räisänen works as a Senior Lecturer in English unit at the University of Oulu. Her
research focuses on professional discourse and communication in various working life contexts, particularly in multilingual, lingua franca and multimodal environments, as well as professionals as language learners and global knowledge workers. Räisänen’s longitudinal research

Jarkko Toikkanen is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Oulu, Finland, and Adjunct
Professor at Tampere University, Finland. His research is focused on the concept of intermedial
experience, or how experiencing literature and other media produces sensory perceptions, both
imagined and non-imagined, through medium-specific ways of presenting thatmediate the
conceptual abstractions of language and culture. This three-tier model of mediality is a work in
progress. Toikkanen has published articles, among others, on paranormal reality television,
Wordsworth, and Poe, the monograph The Intermedial Experience of Horror: Suspended
Failures (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013), and two co-edited anthologies including The Grotesque
and the Unnatural (Cambria Press, 2011).
