International Society for Intermedial Studies (ISIS) was founded in 1996. Intermedial studies focuses on interrelationships between art forms and media. These relations are viewed in a general cultural context and apply to art forms in the broadest sense. The aim of the Society is to promote intermedial research and postgraduate education by means of conferences, seminars and projects.
In addition to other activities, we hold conferences all around the world to study and share ideas about intermedial studies.
