vysplá

Vysplý is a term used in speculative fiction and media theory to denote a process of cross-media fusion, where narrative modes such as text, image, sound, and interactivity are merged into a single experiential fabric. In its typical use, vysplý describes works in which media elements are co-constructed rather than simply combined, producing hybrid forms that blur the boundaries between literature, cinema, and interactive art.

Origin and etymology. In published discussions within fictional contexts, vysplý is presented as a neologism that arose in a Czech-language science fiction fragment. The term is described as a fictional construction rather than an established linguistic borrowing; there is no authoritative etymology outside speculative narratives.

Usage. Critics and scholars using the concept discuss projects where narrative content is delivered across multiple platforms with shared logic, or where audience interaction reshapes the storyline. The concept is linked to intermediality and transmedia storytelling and provides a vocabulary for analyzing how form shapes interpretation.

Limitations. Because vysplý is not an established scholarly term, its use remains confined to fictional or theoretical discourse and is not recognized in formal academic literature. Some commentators view it as evocative but imprecise, risking conflating distinct media practices.
