The reader should, rather, read the texts presented here as a wide-ranging kaleidoscope showing some aspects of the impressive breadth and depth of contemporary intermedia research. There are two obvious reasons for publishing this collection of contemporary contributions concerning intermedia research. First of all, the articles included mark a state of the art, at least in the shape of a small sample, of the intermedial research produced today. And secondly, the book is meant to honour our friend and colleague Hans Lund, a crucial person in Scandinavian and Western interarts and intermedia research. But there is a third, and better, reason, too. Contemporary art and literature are marked by an increased intermedial interest, and – perhaps as a result of this – a growing amount of academic research is being done, with or without the term “ intermedial” directly attached, inside and outside and on the borders of the “proper” interart institutions. It could be argued that contemporary academic research is being pushed forward by the wave of (a renewed) interest in mixing the genres and media in a veritable expression of the dream of the Sister Arts – or ut pictura poesis. Or perhaps one should argue that contemporary art and literature is striving to, once and for all, bury the dream of the loving relationship between the arts? Is a paragone between the arts based on the dream of a similar existential or aesthetic foundation, leading to marriage or fi ght – or are the different arts simply internally untranslatable? No matter: any reader orienting herself/himself in the artistic and academic landscape in the western countries will realize that the epoch of isolated art products as well as art and media studies belongs to the past. And the idea that musicologists, literary scholars and art historians, to name but a few of the important scholars in cultural analysis, must
