Series: Routledge Studies in Multimodality

0.0 (0 reviews)

Summary

This volume honours Theo van Leeuwen's pioneering work in multimodality and social semiotics by gathering research from leading scholars. It explores the categorisation of semiotic resources and their use in various communicative forms, alongside critical analyses of how semiotic forms, norms, and technology interact in discourse. Featuring 11 research papers and an experimental visual essay, the book examines semiotic resources such as touch, sound, image, and texture, and applies these to real-world discourses including community currency, fitness regimes, film scoring, and commodity upcycling, addressing issues like global neoliberalism, terrorism, consumerism, and immigration.

Description

As a founder and leading figure in multimodality and social semiotics, Theo van Leeuwen has made significant contributions to a variety of research fields, including discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, communication and media studies, education, and design.

In celebration of his illustrious research career, Advancing Multimodal and Critical Discourse Studies brings together a group of leading and emerging scholars in these fields to review, explore and advance two central research agendas set out by van Leeuwen: the categorisation of the meaning potential of various semiotic resources and the examination of their uses in different forms of communication, and the critical analysis of the interaction between semiotic forms, norms, and technology in discursive practices.

Through 11 cutting-edge research papers and an experimental visual essay, the book investigates a broad range of semiotic resources including touch, sound, image, texture, and discursive practices such as community currency, fitness regime, film scoring, and commodity upcycling.

The book showcases how social semiotics and multimodality can provide insights into the burning issues of the day, such as global neoliberalism, terrorism, consumerism, and immigration.
