This essay aims to investigate the myths of origins as an innovative form of storytelling within the contemporaneity. In this light, the new numerous expanded universes produced by transmediality are now able to structure amplified experiences and, at the same time, will provide insights into the universality of creation myths as patterns from which the narrative action radiates. In this sense, this contribution intends to pay attention to Star Wars as an example of a storytelling, within which myth, as a form of literary creation, is used not only in its more traditional guise, but also as a source of new narrative structures of the metamodern sphere.
Il saggio si propone di indagare il mito come forma di narrazione originaria all’interno dell’universo transmediale contemporaneo. Le narrazioni complesse della transmedialità, con i loro universi espansi, sono ormai in grado di creare esperienze amplificate che si sviluppano attraverso diversi media. In questo senso, il mito può divenire l’asse portante della costruzione di questi nuovi universi in espansione. In particolare, l’attenzione di questo intervento si concentrerà sull’analisi del mito come modello di creazione letteraria sfruttato dalla transmedialità e, al contempo, sulla fluidità dello storytelling contemporaneo, in quanto portatore di strutture narrative innovative.

Abstract
This essay aims to investigate the myths of origins as an innovative form of storytelling within the contemporaneity. In this light, the new numerous expanded universes produced by transmediality are now able to structure amplified experiences and, at the same time, will provide insights into the universality of creation myths as patterns from which the narrative action radiates. In this sense, this contribution intends to pay attention to Star Wars as an example of a storytelling, within which myth, as a form of literary creation, is used not only in its more traditional guise, but also as a source of new narrative structures of the metamodern sphere.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
