Abstract:
In today’s digital world, we have multiple modes of meaning-making: sounds,
images, hypertexts. Yet, within literacy education, even ‘new’ literacies, we
know relatively little about how to work with and produce modally complex
texts.
In Working with Multimodality, Jennifer Rowsell focuses on eight modes: words,
images, sounds, movement, animation, hypertext, design and modal learning.
Throughout the book each mode is illustrated by cases studies based on the
author’s interviews with thirty people, who have extensive experience working
with a mode in their field. From a song writer to a well known ballet dancer,
these people all discuss what it means to do multimodality well.
This accessible textbook brings the multiple modes together into an integrated
theory of multimodality. Step-by-step, beginning with theory then exploring
modes and how to work with them, before concluding with how to apply this in
an investigation, each stage of working with multimodality is covered.
Assuming no prior knowledge about multimodality and its properties, Working
with Multimodality is designed to appeal to advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate students interested in how learning and innovation is different
in a digital and media age and is an essential textbook for courses in
literacy, new media and multimodality within applied linguistics , education
and communication studies.
