Abstract

In this paper definitions, classifications and typologies of the concept of interactivity in the context of the new media landscape will be discussed. The paper takes its point of departure in the evaluation of two typologies of interactive media and interactivity introduced some 10 years ago. In the remainder of the paper, four new typologies or matrices concerning interactive media and the new media landscape are introduced. In this sense the paper can be seen as the concept of interactivity -- revisited.
