Summary, in English

In an intermedial reading of Astrid Lindgren’s oeuvre, Astrid Lindgren's World is not only analyzed as an ideal case of transmediality or remediation, but also as a modern form of a Total work of art. In doing so, the history of the genre ' total work of art' is discussed by broadening the common aesthetic point-of-view with angles from economy and advertising.
