“…With the prevalence of online digital technologies and the phenomena of intermediality (Mueller 2015) and remediations (Bolter & Grusin 1999), considering the self-referentiality in the media becomes essential to understand the particular ways in which new media reconfigure traditional media and how they reconfigure themselves to meet the challenges of new media.…”

Advances in technologies and digital media give rise to complex apparatuses and systems increasingly implicated in image production processes. In the context of computational and algorithmic revolution, computational systems can produce images and interpret distinct processes related to them. In this sense, we examine the notion of self-reference as a contemporary phenomenon of image and which implications are related to the emergence of new logic and functions of representation. Then, we draw attention to the need to expand the idea of image as a visual representation presenting the notion of metaimage. From a systemic and semiotic perspective to image, we underline metaimage as a cultural phenomenon stretched by the digital culture. The paper discusses inter-transdisciplinary relevant works in the Arts, Design, and Media that feature the metaimage phenomena. It highlights the scope of the technical image's systems, functions, and positions through technological transformations: from a visual representation to process and operation.Metaimage. Self-referentiality. Digital culture. Creation processes.

Intermediality, Quo Vadis?

Some 30 years after its coining, the notion and concept of intermediality still proves to be of great relevance for many disciplines, ranging from semiotics to communication, media, literary, and social studies. However, in the digital era, intermediality as a work in progress has to meet the challenges of the so-called new media and develop innovative and adequate axes of research. This article presents some basics of the latest state of affairs of intermedia studies and proposes six central axes of future intermedia research. It focuses on the perspectives of an intermedia network history, which will tackle the reconstruction of historical functions of intermedia processes; the blurring of genre patterns; new interactivities; the interplays among medial, technological, economic, and social vectors; and the making of meaning in current media networks. Thus, some (interwinding?) paths of future intermedia studies will be indicated.

Queer Objects and Intermedial Timepieces

This paper takes as its queer object a serialized podcast. With its story about John B. McLemore, a clockmaker from Woodstock, Alabama, S-Town is a blockbuster success from the producers of Serial (2014-16) and This American Life (1995-present) (the seven-part series was downloaded 16 million times in the first week of its release, with that number now exceeding 40 million). Against both affirmative and negative reception of S-Town-responses that tend to position the podcast either as transcending or as reproducing the idea of a backwards or lagging South-this paper argues that S-Town is an intermedial narrative incorporating various media that themselves comprise competing temporalities. Indexing these alternative temporalities are the intricate designs of clocks and sundials that tell of mythological time and seasonal and diurnal rhythms. There are also tattoos and other inscriptions that mark both bodies and sundials. My argument attends to the animate and inanimate forms narratively contained within the podcast, touching on Rebecca Schneider's idea of "inter(in)animation" and Elizabeth Freeman's challenges to "chrononormativity" in the process. From within this intermedial structure, John emerges as an intermediary whose engagement in processes of self-objectification and historical re-enactment complicates a normative timeframe and confounds conventional subject/object relations. Through a consideration of what I call the queerly intermedial form of the S-Town podcast, the essay looks beyond both discrete forms and regional/national concerns to gesture toward the significance of broader networks and spheres for thinking about time, space and being. Keywords queer; intermedia; time and temporality; the South I-Town (2017) is an investigative journalism podcast that centres on John B. McLemore, a clockmaker who sets in motion Brian Reed's trip to Woodstock in Bibb County, Alabama: the place that John caustically dubs "shit town" and to which the podcast's title alludes. Brian Reed, the producer and narrator of S-Town, is a journalist known for his work on This American Life, the Chicago Public Radio program hosted by Ira Glass. S-Town is essentially a docudrama told in seven episodes in the form of audio files. Named "chapters" on the show's website (https://stownpodcast.org), all seven audio files were released simultaneously on 28
