Abstract |
This article proposes a critical rethinking of the fashionable notion of multimodality as an extreme form of intermediality. Rather than a priori discarding the dead end of monomodality, it asks whether it is possible to reconsider it in the light of a “less is more” variant of multimodality. The example of the photonovella, at first sight a typical multimodal practice, demonstrates that monomediality has often been an ideal, both in the popular and in the high- brow version of the genre.
