Transmedia Historical Storytelling and Visibilization of Women: the case of the Podcast Canonicas
Abstract
This article examines the construction of the historical discourse in the transmedia universe of Canónicas. Unlike other products about Jack the Ripper, it is focused on victims’ biography which entails the introduction of gender perspective. As a result, traditional storytelling is challenged by this approach. Hence, this article is aimed at three-level analysis of the three transmedia expansions: the podcast, the level focused on delving into the podcast narrative (web and Penny Dreadful Pods), and the one that relate the podcast to the current social problems (Twitter channel). Through this case study, the objective is to show how new communication formats and history converge.
