Intersemiotic translation is the transfer of signifiers across semiotic codes. Simply put: translation across mediums. The movement of artwork, of inspiration, between artists and mediums has existed for many centuries. Examples of intersemiotic translation in pop culture include novel-to-film (Blade Runner, Harry Potter, etc), musicals (Cats), graphic novels, animation, Iranian dramatic story-telling called Naqqali (recounting stories in verse or prose accompanied by gestures and movements with instrumental music and painted scrolls) and many other adaptations which blur and cross mediums. VerseJunkies operates in this intersemiotic space.
