I wonder how information theory (from the fields of computer science, mathematics and communication studies) can be applied to transmedia adaptations. Information theory focuses on how information is transmitted with special attention given to the errors/data loss in the process. Is data lost in adaptations?
Is this comparison mere metaphor or something more?
This is a blog about my teaching, research and service with some occasional personal comments thrown in.
These are my notes on a variety of topics. If you want to follow my blog posts on a specific topic, then see the Table of Contents in the right-hand column. While I try to work in the realm of facts, logic and moral absolutes, if there are any opinions expressed here, they are my own. -WilliamHartPhD
