“…The play has witnessed not just countless translations and performances across the globe since its first appearance in 1879, but also rewritings as poems or parodies (Ibsen Bibliography 2020, see also Wirak and Lexow 2008, Holledge et al . 2016). In an evolving process of media transformation since 1911, the play’s popularity also spurred some 175 transformations into films and TV-dramas (see IMDb 2020, IbsenStage 2020), and more recently The Beatles’ White Album had the working title A Doll’s House before the group chose to change the title because, in July 1968, another British group, Family, had just released their debut album under the title Music in a Doll’s House .…”

Most discussions on mediality and intermediality take their point of departure as contemporary digital media, social media included. Hence, earlier periods in cultural history are often regarded as simple forerunners for the highly complex situation in today’s globalized media culture based on digital technologies. It is true that electronic media technology and its social effects now have reached an unprecedented and accelerated technological complexity. However, this perspective tends to ignore the fact that from ancient times up to the late nineteenth century, a wealth of media innovations exercised an impact in their contemporary cultures and societies; innovations that equal the influence of digital media today: the introduction of writing, book printing, the printed press and its technologies, visual reproduction technologies, the telegraph, photography, film, the telephone and other innovations in the media world. The focus of this article is a few specific media innovations and the radical changes they generated over the last few hundred years in literature and art as well as in their cultural and societal contexts. Such innovations are steps in the long process that leads to recent media developments and their influence on experiences, knowledge, ideologies and human self-understanding.
