Abstract

As much as the concept of intertextuality has known a great success within social sciences because it represented the closure of a conception of the world understood as readable , in the same way, intermediality will have a true reach only if it permits us to liberate ourselves from this model and open a new array of problematics. Through this rapid reconstruction of conceptual paradigms, what is at stake is the possibility of rethinking medias outside of the procedures of hermeneutics and the sole universe of significance. Autant le concept d’intertextualité avait connu un grand succès dans les sciences humaines parce qu’il constituait le parachèvement d’une conception du monde comme lisible , autant l’intermédialité n’aura vraiment de portée que si elle nous permet de sortir de ce modèle et d’ouvrir des problématiques inédites. En reconstruisant à grands traits ces paradigmes conceptuels, il s’agit de savoir comment repenser les médias hors des procédures herméneutiques et du seul univers de la signification.
