This post is part of a series written by contributors to Imagining Transmedia, a new book of essays published by the MIT Press. The book explores how transmedia techniques are being used in a wide range of settings, from entertainment and education to health care, journalism, politics, urban planning, and more. In this post, Zoyander Street discusses their chapter “Cis Penance: Transmedia Database Narratives,” which explores their own interactive documentary work about transgender people in terms of concepts that come from Japanese media studies scholarship: database narratives and sekaikan (worldview).
