>> CALL FOR PAPERS
>> Gestures, positioning in space, and other forms of embodied
communication are frequently recognised as bearing meaning-making potential
in interpersonal interactions and print mediaalongside (or instead of)
language. There is also a feeling of urgency to systematically account for
multimodal aspects of digital environments, particularly as they
increasingly focus on multimodal content and foster intertextuality and
interactivity.
>> This relatively new scholarly interest brings with it a number of
methodological considerations as well as questions related to the
application and interpretation of semiotic resources beyond language in
digital contexts.
>> The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers interested in
the multimodal aspects of social and digital communication, to discuss
methodological considerations in multimodal social media research, and
explore the possible ways forward. The event will consist of invited
plenaries, paper presentations and discussions.
