The CompLit InterArt book series, part of New Directions in the Humanities Collection, is one of the book series of the European Society of Comparative Literature. The trilingual series (English, French, Spanish) focuses on the importance of storytelling as a catalyst for the constitution, confirmation and modification of human experiences. Stories can be contemplated as meta-cognitive paradigms that provide frames for meaning making processes. Readers’ identification with the protagonists, and the actions performed, serve to raise awareness and encourage people to care for the world, thus leading to content-wise forms of art and civic engagement with socio-cultural and environmental heritage. Curated by Prof, Asun López-Varela (Complutense) and Prof. Bernard Franco (Sorbonne), the book series seeks contributions dealing with the analysis and interpretation of stories in various media formats, literary narratives, visual media, film, dance, performance studies, or electronic literature and net-art.
