As part of the EuLiterArt project, Francesca Medaglia will take into account the transmedial dimension of European representation thought the analysis of tv series and their paratexts: in particular, she will focus both on the representation of Europeans and on the perception of cultural intercomprension and transcultural communication in contemporary tv series, i.e. La casa de Papel and Montalbano. She will analyse how the storytelling is modified in order to represent the new European dimension.
