Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The recent wave of disinformation has been posing enormous challenges to an already complex information ecosystem. People feel overwhelmed by the amount of information that is consumed every day. It is increasingly harder to navigate the sea of information in empowering forms. That is why digital and media literacies have been emphasized as key tools for making sense of this information disorder. Transmedia storytelling is a competence that reflects the multiplicity of platforms, apps and screens that sprinkle everyday life. It is a new way of conceiving and delivering narratives in multiple paths and platforms. This paper recurs to document analysis to reflect on the characteristics of transmedia storytelling as a way to promote media literacy. The results of the analysis made to 10 transmedia projects contribute to deepen our knowledge on the use of digital and transmedia storytelling for the promotion of media literacy.
