Toikkanen Jarkko, University of Oulu & Tampere University, Jarkko.toikkanen@oulu.fiJarkko Toikkanen is Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Oulu, Finland, and Adjunct Professor at Tampere University, Finland. His research is focused on the concept of intermedial experience, or how experiencing literature and other media produces sensory perceptions, both imagined and non-imagined, through medium-specific ways of presenting that mediate the conceptual abstractions of language and culture. This three-tier model of mediality is a work in progress. Toikkanen has published articles on Wordsworth and Poe, among others, the monograph The Intermedial Experience of Horror: Suspended Failures (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013), and two co-edited anthologies including The Grotesque and the Unnatural (Cambria Press, 2011).
