C’est notamment l’objectif du transmedia storytelling : il s’agit d’étendre un univers narratif, par le biais de contenus inédits sur plusieurs plateformes médiatiques (livres, films, séries télévisées, jeux vidéo, Internet, etc.). Un des exemples phares mobilisant cette stratégie est l’univers de Harry Potter imaginé par l’autrice britannique J.K. Rowling. Considérant son importante communauté de fans, cet univers sera au cœur de notre étude de cas. Les …
