‘장화신은 고양이’ 캐릭터를 활용한 트랜스미디어 스토리텔링 연구

In the era of digital convergence, transmedia storytelling, which expands narratives by intertwining and combining multiple media, is creating a new paradigm for narrative creation. Puss in Boots, who appeared as a supporting role in <Shrek2>, is a character derived from Charles Perrault's The Master Cat or Puss in Boots, and has gained significant popularity among the public. Due to its popularity, Puss in Boots became the main character in <Puss in Boots1>, a spin-off of <Shrek2>. Subsequently, as <Puss in Boots1> achieved success, various transmedia content featuring Puss in Boots as the main character was produced across different media platforms, including mobile games, theatrical animations, OTT animations and interactive animation.
 This article aims to provide a detailed examination of the requirements and characteristics of transmedia storytelling. It also analyzes various instances of transmedia content utilizing the character of Puss in Boots. To scrutinize the transformation of characters' roles and the expansion of narrative structures, which are essential aspects of transmedia storytelling, we apply the 'actantial model' developed by A.J. Greimas to each content. Through this analysis, we can explore how the character of Puss in Boots serves as a pivotal link between transmedia contents and functions as a narrative mechanism. It becomes evident that discovering archetypal and fantasy characters, adapting their roles and personalities, and strategically reintroducing secondary characters while setting up foreshadowing are crucial elements in successful transmedia storytelling. Furthermore, it is essential to create an “integral” story universe that considers various types of connections between content, such as sequels, prequels, spin-offs, and reboots. This should be done while leveraging diversified media platforms that engage users in immersion and participation.

Strategic management of open innovations

The paper considers the features of theoretical and methodological aspects of strategic management of open innovations. Theoretical and methodological basis of the study are modern theories, concepts, hypotheses of enterprise management. Content analysis used. Methodological and informational basis of the work are scientific works, materials of periodicals, Internet resources. It has been proven that ecosystem management based on open innovations as an opportunity to access additional assets is a priority factor in the company's competitive advantages in world markets. It is emphasized that in the era of digital convergence, the ability of companies to dominate in all activities of the value chain is determined by access to innovation. It is stated that companies that successfully use open innovation are characterized by organizational flexibility in order to restructure existing business models to take into account the peculiarities of open innovation strategies. Unique forms of intellectual property rights, such as modularity, are analyzed. It is determined that dynamic capabilities are the ability of companies to integrate, create and reconfigure internal and external competencies in conditions of uncertainty in the external environment. It is substantiated that the process of "orchestration" of business models includes modification, addition, alienation and harmonization of tangible and intangible assets in the management of business processes of companies. The conceptual scheme of various forms of open innovations according to the model of development of innovative technologies and strategy of intellectual property is constructed. The relationship between dynamic opportunities and open innovations is determined on the basis of three clusters of dynamic opportunities: discovery, capture and transformation. Prospects for further research in this subject area are to focus on assessing the attributes of innovative business processes in order to determine the benefits and limitations of open innovation in the system of strategic management of the latest imperative.

Rethinking singing on screen: the case for contemporary American ‘screensong’ across the film musical, music television and the music video

AbstractThe last 20 years have seen extensive scholarship on changing audiovisual aesthetics and the blurring boundaries between all screen media. This article draws on this scholarship and engages with critical debates around the musical genre to examine contemporary song-based screen media. While song and singing have a long history across film, television and video, the digital convergence era has engendered new types of song performance and song-based screen formats. To understand the complex connections and exchanges between different forms of singing on screen, this article develops a new evaluative and conceptual framework. I propose the termscreensongto refer to audiovisual representations of singing performance across screen-based media. This article understands screensong as both a broad category of song-based screen texts, genres and formats and as a particular type of song-driven, highly commodified, audiovisual and narrative unit –the screensong– prevalent in contemporary American popular screen media.

Exploring Performance Determinants of China’s Cable Operators and OTT Service Providers in the Era of Digital Convergence—From the Perspective of an Industry Platform

This paper investigates key determinants of business performance in China’s video industry in the era of digital convergence. Specifically, we analyze China’s OTT (over-the-top) service providers and cable operators based on the perspective of an industry platform, which acts as the core module of a business ecosystem and is capable of facilitating and coordinating interdependence among different agents. Panel data models are established to empirically explore what factors impact the performance of these two types of players. The findings demonstrate that both platform use and the size of an installed base are crucial for the determinants of the performance of OTT service providers and cable operators. An online video platform can also benefit from an increasing proportion of mobile viewers by implementing a multi-screen strategy. Further, an OTT service provider can profit from the interaction between its installed base and UGC (user-generated content), while cable operators can take advantage of positive feedback between their demand side and supply side.

NPR Music: Remediation, curation, and National Public Radio in the digital convergence era

This article considers National Public Radio’s (NPR) relationship with music and the web. I argue that the NPR Music project has successfully leveraged NPR’s perceived autonomy from commercial factors, sophisticated cultural sensibility, established audience, and unique network of member stations to become an important curator of music-based radio and music itself. Building on an emerging discussion of the politics of curation and publicity in the social media and streaming paradigm, this article extends the concept of ‘soundwork’ to argue that national public media organizations must increasingly both produce and curate content in order to compete for attention and engagement on the platform-based social web. As this case study of NPR Music demonstrates, these legacy institutions can leverage their valuable ‘national public’ identities in order to facilitate these activities, but this strategy threatens to undermine their legitimacy during a period in which ‘public’ is an increasingly contested and contingent term.
