Short presentation of the EmergingSeries research project

1. EmergingSeries is an online platform about the webseries and
webdocs. The project is born within the University of Palermo
and includes media and cinema journalists, experts, scholars and
professors. The idea is to study the heterogeneous world of
webseries and webdocs through news, articles, reports from
festivals. We are working to create a large archive and
recently we have launched the EmergingSeries Journal,
the academic Journal in which we will publish the result of our
researches.

2. EmergingSeries Journal is a semi annual academic magazine born in
the “Cinema and Media Studies” division of the University of Palermo

forms of webnative digital storytelling. Special attention is given to
webseries and web docs, other forms of narratives on mobile device
and online storytelling (tutorial, interactive fiction, data visualization,
locative media storytelling, Augmented Reality, gaming, etc...)
EmergingSeries Journal is based on a multidisciplinary approach to
semiotics, sociology, forms of narrative, film and media studies, and
Internet studies.
