Entertaiment is a fascinating subject, not least because what is considered entertainment by one group may be regarded as work or an act of cruelty by another. The word itself has a long history; it was derived from the Latin intertenere (literally, “to hold inside”) and comes from the Indo-European root ten, meaning to stretch. The familiar forms of entertainment have a remarkable capacity for cross-over between different media, and the same themes and images seem to have endless possibilities for creative remix.
