Abstract:

The first dedicated volume of its kind, Visualizing Digital Discourse brings
together sociolinguists and discourse analysts examining the role of visual
communication in digital media. The volume showcases work from leading,
established and emerging scholars from across Europe, covering a diverse range
of digital media platforms such as messaging, video-chat, gaming and wikis;
visual modalities such as emojis, video and layout; methodologies like
discourse analysis, ethnography and conversation analysis; as well as data
from different languages. With an opening chapter by Rodney Jones, the volume
is organized into three parts: Besides Words and Writing, The Social Life of
Images, and Designing Multimodal Texts. From the perspective of these broad
domains, chapters tackle some of the major ideological, interactional and
institutional implications of visuality for digital discourse studies. The
first part, beginning with a co-authored chapter by Crispin Thurlow, focuses
on micro-level visual practices and their macro-level framing – all with
particular regard for emojis. The second part, beginning with a chapter from
Sirpa Leppänen, examines the ways visual resources are used for managing
personal relations, and the wider cultural politics of visual representation
in these practices. The third part, beginning with a chapter by Hartmut
Stöckl, considers organizational contexts where users deploy visual resources
for more transactional, often commercial ends.
