Introduction: Everything New is New Again (and again, and again...)
View through CrossRef
We first discussed the possibility of co-editing an issue of Theatre Research in Canada with a focus on the topic of intermediality back in June of 2006. While we knew that TRiC’s then lengthy list of guest-edited theme issues-in-waiting pushed the prospect several years into the future, we were both keen to explore the potential for such a project. As our turn in the limelight approached, a (to us) surprisingly small number of responses to our first two calls for proposals further delayed our move to print. However, the unusual time span between inception and completion has offered us a similarly uncommon opportunity to consider and revise our aspirations for the issue. Now, in the autumn of 2011 and on the verge of publication, evidence of this extended and somewhat circuitous evolution can be seen in this issue’s contents. One of the essays in this collection was first proposed to us in the middle of 2008; another only completed its peer-review process a couple of months ago. Charting the developments from the first conversations around the project, through the sequence of submissions, assessments, and revisions, it is easy to see that the field of intermedia studies has evolved rapidly and substantially during this period, with the result that the issue also provides an unintentional yet illuminating window on that evolution.

Description:
We first discussed the possibility of co-editing an issue of Theatre Research in Canada with a focus on the topic of intermediality back in June of 2006.
While we knew that TRiC’s then lengthy list of guest-edited theme issues-in-waiting pushed the prospect several years into the future, we were both keen to explore the potential for such a project.
As our turn in the limelight approached, a (to us) surprisingly small number of responses to our first two calls for proposals further delayed our move to print.
However, the unusual time span between inception and completion has offered us a similarly uncommon opportunity to consider and revise our aspirations for the issue.
Now, in the autumn of 2011 and on the verge of publication, evidence of this extended and somewhat circuitous evolution can be seen in this issue’s contents.
One of the essays in this collection was first proposed to us in the middle of 2008; another only completed its peer-review process a couple of months ago.
Charting the developments from the first conversations around the project, through the sequence of submissions, assessments, and revisions, it is easy to see that the field of intermedia studies has evolved rapidly and substantially during this period, with the result that the issue also provides an unintentional yet illuminating window on that evolution.
