Designing Learning with Digital Play
Lim and Toh provide updates on recent research on digital play and learning, and unite game-based learning with multimodal and social semiotic theories. They adopt the position that teachers’ or caregivers’ scaffolding is required when games are used in a pedagogical context such as the classroom. The book offers a nuanced view of the nature and properties of games beyond ‘motivation’, including the students’ interest and use of digital play. The chapters explore the varied ways in which games are designed to promote critical thinking and reflection. It expands on the teachers’ or caregivers’ scaffolding of students’ digital play in pedagogical contexts such as in a classroom...
A Multimodal Approach to Picturebooks on Migration and Migrants
This volume is the first edited collection that offers various theoretical and analytical perspectives on migration narratives in children’s picturebooks. The chapters presented have benefitted from theories such as multimodal social semiotics, systemic-functional multimodal discourse analysis, computer-assisted discourse analysis, multimodal critical discourse analysis, cognitive approaches, and conceptual metaphor. The book highlights the affordances of a multimodal approach in illuminating how texts and illustrations do joint semiotic work to encourage young readers’ understanding of the difficulties faced by young migrants and thus help young migrants make sense of new languages and ...
The Palgrave Handbook of Intermediality
This handbook provides an extensive overview of traditional and emerging research areas within the field of intermediality studies, understood broadly as the study of interrelations among all forms of communicative media types, including transmedial phenomena. Section I offers accounts of the development of the field of intermediality - its histories, theories and methods. Section II and III then explore intermedial facets of communication from ancient times until the 21st century, with discussion on a wide range of cultural and geographical settings, media types, and topics, by contributors from a diverse set of disciplines. It concludes in Section IV with an emphasis on urgent societal issues that an intermedial perspective might help understand.
Multimodal Affordances in Diplomatic Interpreting
This book offers an in-depth exploration of diplomatic interpreting as a complex form of multimodal interaction, drawing on examples from China–U.S. diplomatic interpreting activities to demonstrate the nuances of meaning transfer across modes and contexts. The volume introduces the notion of interpreting being inherently multimodal through its employment of a range of semiotic repertoires, including linguistic modes, gesture, audial information, spatial arrangement, and visual imagery. Featuring case studies from China–U.S. diplomatic interpreting scenarios, Cen and Irwin examine the means and reasons by which interpreters mediate the range of multimodal semiotic resources in such situa...
Contemporary Archival Fiction
This book presents a synthesised framework for analysing archival poetics in multimodal literature, examining case studies from twenty-first-century American fiction towards elucidating the archival turn in contemporary literature more broadly. Ivansson turns her focus on multimodal archival fiction, here understood as works which engage with archival practices of collecting and organising both verbal text and visual inclusions of fictional and factual archival material, such as photographs, sketches, notes, and newspaper clippings. The volume brings together work from multimodality, cognitive stylistics, and narratology with archival studies to demonstrate how contemporary archival fiction ...
Engagements with Adaptation
Engagements with Adaptation invites students both to consider adaptations on their own terms and to engage with the urgent questions they raise about literary canons; the media industry; the relations between different kinds of media; the nature of national, political, and cultural identities; and the ways in which contemporary digital and social media have complicated the roles of producers and consumers of texts. Thomas Leitch guides students through six ways of thinking about adaptation: aesthetic, intertextual, industrial, biological, sociological, and participatory. He explores multiple media and discusses a wide range of sources, including Frankenstein, Persepolis, Bridgerton, and the ...
