Makale, insanlığın en yaygın korkularını yeniden düşünmek için bir alan olarak transmedya anlatılarını araştırıyor. İnsan kültürü, potansiyel tehditler hakkında bilgi aktarmak için uzun süredir hikâyeleri kullanmakta ve ayrıca tehditlere karşı bir dizi potansiyel yanıt oluşturmaktadır. Zamanla bu paylaşılan zihinsel temsiller, kolayca tanınabilir korku sembolleri olarak hizmet eden karakterlere, olaylara ve tüm olay örgülerine dönüştü. Bu araştırma, bireysel ve kültürel anlatılar aracılığıyla insanların korkularını işlemesine olanak sağlayan psikolojik mekanizmalara odaklanmaktadır. Kişisel ve kültürel hafıza çok esnektir ve sürekli bir anlam oluşturma sürecinin bir sonucu olarak değişime tabidir. Psikoloji ve nörobilim alanlarındaki son keşifler, hikâye anlatımının travmanın üstesinden gelmedeki ve çevremizdeki dünyaya karşı daha olumlu bir tutum geliştirmedeki etkinliğini doğrularken, kültür göstergebilimi kültürel düzeyde benzer süreçleri inceler. Yaygın olarak kullanılan birçok sembol, bir metinden diğerine geçtikçe güçlenmekle birlikte, onları kullanan kişilerin değişen gerçekliklerine de yavaş yavaş uyum sağlar. Öte yandan, transmedya anlatıları da bu sürecin patlayıcı doğasına katkıda bulunur, çünkü farklı ortamlarda aynı anda birden fazla dönüşüm meydana gelir. Çizgi roman dizisini yayınlayan ve bunlara dayanan televizyon dizisinin ortak yapımcılığını üstlenen Neil Gaiman’in yarattığı Kum Adam’ın dünyası, bu kadar hızlı değişimi mükemmel bir şekilde gösteriyor. Burada tamamen beklenmedik bir şekilde, hem eski folklordan hem de çok yakın tarihli bazı olaylardan kaynaklanan sembolik korku imgeleri ortaya çıkıyor. Çok platformlu hikâye anlatımı; ölüm, arzu, günah ve daha fazlasının sabit görünen görüntülerini istikrarsızlaştırarak korkularımızın nedenlerine ve onlarla başa çıkmanın “doğru” yollarına meydan okur. Kum Adam’ın transmedya dünyası profesyoneller ve hayranlar tarafından genişledikçe korku kavramlarımızı yapısöküme uğratma ve potansiyel olarak yenilerini yaratma fırsatına sahip olacak.
