With extraordinary transnational and transdisciplinary range, World Literature, Transnational Cinema, and Global Media comprehensively explores the genealogies, vocabularies, and concepts orienting the fields within literature, cinema, and media studies.

Orchestrating a layered conversation between arts, disciplines, and media, Stam argues for their mutual embeddedness and their shared in-between territories. Rather than merely adding to the existing scholarship, the book builds a relational framework through the connectivities within literature, cinema, music, and media that opens up analysis to new categories and concepts, while crossing spatial, temporal, theoretical, disciplinary, and mediatic borders. The book also questions an array of hierarchies: literature over cinema; source novel over adaptation; feature film over documentary; erudite over vernacular culture; Western modernisms over peripheral modernisms; classical over popular music; written poetry over sung poetry, and so forth. The book is structured around the concept of the commons, forming a strong thread which links various struggles against enclosures of all kinds, with emphasis on natural, indigenous, cultural, creative, digital, and the transdisciplinary commons.
