Beginning from the 1990s, intermediality has not only been a highly productive concept that generated a great deal of analyses and theoretical writings that contributed to the understanding of media hybridity and interart connections, but has also proved to be a somewhat nebulous term that semiotics and media studies repeatedly attempted to define and categorize once and for all, or quite the contrary, that was “opened up” through different philosophical approaches. Moreover, our immersive experiences within an environment dominated by digital media, as well as discourses regarding media archaeology, convergence, the interconnectedness of humans and technology, art and life, etc., continually shift our vantage points and challenge us to rethink intermedia or interart relations in the context of the complex new relationships that define our contemporary culture. The aim of this series of in-depth interviews is to perform a kind of informal “archaeology” of researches connected to questions of intermediality through presenting trajectories of thought that lead to the diversity in the state of the art in intermediality studies today. In each of these interviews, I would like to present different methodologies and topical issues that have been addressed by researchers working in various places of the world. I have asked three of the most renowned scholars (Lars Elleström, Lúcia Nagib and Joachim Paech), whose works have had a wide-reaching impact in the field, to explain what drew them to the study of intermedial phenomena in the first place and how they see the relevance of intermediality and its most important questions today. I also wanted to find out how their different cultural or theoretical backgrounds have informed their work.1

界定领域的学者的三场访谈

从1990年代开始，中间性不仅是一个高产的概念，它产生了大量的分析和理论著作，有助于理解媒体的混杂性和内部联系，而且还被证明是符号学和媒体的一个模糊术语研究反复尝试一劳永逸地定义和归类，或者恰恰相反，这是通过不同的哲学方法“开放”的。此外，我们在以数字媒体为主导的环境中的沉浸式体验，以及关于媒体考古，融合，人类与技术的相互联系，艺术与生活等的论述，在定义我们当代文化的复杂新关系的背景下，不断改变我们的优势并挑战我们重新考虑中介或中介关系。这一系列深度访谈的目的是通过提出导致当今中间研究领域的最新技术发展的思想轨迹，来进行与中间问题相关的研究的一种非正式的“考古学”。在这些采访中，我想介绍一下世界各地工作的研究人员已经解决的不同方法和主题问题。我问了三位最著名的学者（LarsElleström，LúciaNagib和Joachim Paech），他们的研究在该领域产生了深远的影响，首先解释了促使他们从事中间现象研究的原因，以及他们如何看待中间性的重要性及其当今最重要的问题。我还想了解他们不同的文化或理论背景如何影响了他们的工作。1
