Abstract

This essay aims to investigate the myths of origins in contemporary transmediality. In particular, this paper focuses on the analysis of the new expanded universes as the beginning of a new world in terms of mythology. In this light, the new numerous expanded universes produced by transmediality will provide insights into the universality of creation myths as patterns of literary creation. Following H. Jenkins, some transmedia narratives create a more complex overall experience than that provided by any text alone. Consequently, this essay aims to investigate the fluidity of contemporary storytelling, which inevitably leads to the existence of innovative structures.
