translation
‘Most obtrusively presented is the sense of translation as change in form, condition, appearance, or substance, translation as

refers to ‘relations between media, to medial interactions and interferences’can be applied ‘to any phenomenon involving more than one medium’ and ‘thus to any phenomenon … that takes place between media’. ‘Accordingly, the crossing of media borders has been defined as a founding category of intermediality’ (Rajewsky, 2010, in Elleström, p 51/52).
