Abstract:

Gunther Kress, one of the founders of social semiotics and multimodality, has
made lasting contributions to these fields through his work in semiotics and
meaning-making; power and identity; agency, design, production; and pedagogy
and learning; in varied sites of transformation. This book brings together
leading scholars in a variety of disciplines, including social semiotics,
pedagogy, linguistics, media and communication studies, new literacy studies,
ethnography, academic literacy, literary criticism and, more recently,
medical/clinical education, to examine and build upon his work. This
disciplinary diversity is evidence of the ways in which Kress' work has
influenced and been influenced by a wide range of academic work and
intellectual endeavors and how it has been used to lay foundations for
theory-building and concept development in a varied yet connected range of
areas.

The individual contributions to the book pick up the threads of the often
collaborative work of the authors with Kress; they show how these approaches
were subsequently developed and discuss what future trajectories the authors
see for them.
