Abstract
This paper discusses plot structures and characters of the The Walking Dead TV series which can be traced back to the influence of computer games and gameplay. It shall prove that the series' narration as a transmedial phenomenon is characterised by ludic logic, although interactive aspects are omitted due to the intermedial change from games to a TV series. The characters' twin layout as both civilised and archaic, the permanent necessity to make live-or-death decisions, as well as the struggle for survival, simulate aspects of adventure games in particular. The long duration of the series and its repetitive structure rely on PC gamers' habits.

Is the pícaro, the roguish hero of early modern Spanish adventure fiction, a 'real man'? What position does he hold in the gender hierarchy of his fictional social context? Why is the pícara so 'non-female'? What effect has her gender constitution on her fictional social context? In terms of a gendered subject, the picaresque figure has hardly been analyzed so far. Although scholars have recognized it as a transgressive and subversive model, the 'queer' effect of the figure is yet to be examined. With regard to the categories of class, generation, topography, and gender, the contributions assembled in this volume explore Spanish, French, English, and German novels narratologically from the perspective of culture and gender theories.
