This dissertation, titled “(Re)Defining Nonsense Literature as an Intermedial Genre”, focuses on expanding and recontextualizing the definition of literary nonsense as an intermedial genre and examines how the process of storyworld making is impacted by this change in definition; in addition, a taxonomy of nonsense creatures is established. The oeuvre of literary nonsense is discussed in the context of format and underrepresented creators, including women and persons of colour.
