do you have recs off the top of your head on scholarship on transmediality? for minecraft scholarship purposes, of course
i do!! this is just a small selection of things i actually have stored in zotero but i hope it satisfies! also iirc richardson was the first to coin the term for the use of characters transing across texts/media in particular, and uses the examples of modern franchise characters such as sherlock holmes, james bond and batman.
non-classical literary/media theory:

Bernhart, W. 'Description in Poetry'. in Bernhart, W and Wlf, W. (ed.). Description in Literature and Other Media. Amsterdam: Rodopi, 2007. --> bernhart uses intermediality.
classical theory (specifically geared at mythological figures/figures with no known original author):
Bär, Silvio, en Anastasia Maravela. 2019. ‘Narrative, Narratology and Intertextuality: New Perspectives on Greek Epic from Homer to Nonnus’. Symbolae Osloenses 93 (1): 1-11.
Jong, Irene J. F. de. 2019. ‘From Oroskopia to Ouranoskopia in Greek and Latin Epic’. Symbolae Osloenses 93 (1): 12-36. -> focuses on the diachronicity of the term, comparing it to narratology in general and intertextuality and their distinctions
Johnston, S. I. The Story of Myth; Harvard University Press, 2019. -> focuses on the overlap in temporality caused by hero myths set in the past + the everyday worship of hero cults, and ascribes a parasocial relationship to worshipper and hero.
