Entertainment supersystem versus transmedia story, that is, a few words on the terminological and methodological chaos

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present two concepts — the supersystem of entertainment (super-system of transmedia intertextuality) and the transmission of storytelling — in the context of the re-search problem on various examples in pop culture. The first term was introduced by Marsha Kinder in the work Playing with Power in Movies, Television, and Video Games: From Muppet Babies to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the second was by Henry Jenkins in Convergence Culture. Where Old and New Media Collide. The analysis of the above terms uses knowledge in the field of archi-tecture of information (knowledge sharing and classification), internet technologies (search engine algorithms) and literature and popular culture (cultural universum). In addition, the most important mechanisms (causes and effects) of processes — cultural, media, social, economic — take place in contemporary culture.
