Abstract: Lars Elleström, Professor of Comparative Literature at Linnaeus University, Sweden, leads the Linnaeus University’s Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS) and chairs the board of the International Society for Intermedial Studies (ISIS). He has written and edited several books, including Divine Madness: On Interpreting Literature, Music, and the Visual Arts Ironically (2002), Media Borders, Multimodality and Intermediality (2010), Media Transformation: The Transfer of Media Characteristics among Media (2014), and Transmedial Narration: Narratives and Stories in Different Media (2019). He has also published numerous articles on poetry, gender, irony, semiotics, and in particular intermediality. In this interview, which took place on January 28, 2020 when Ou Rong was a visiting researcher at Linnaeus University, Elleström discussed the necessary expansion of Interart Studies to Intermedial Studies, some key concepts of Intermidal Studies, major approaches to Intermedial Studies, academic evaluations on intermedial scholars, the beneficial interaction between Intermedial Studies and literary studies, and the history of ISIS. At the end of the interview, Elleström wishes to see more Chinese and Asian scholars to participate in the international exchanges of Intermedial Studies.
