Abstract:

In recent years, with the rise of new media, the phenomenon of 'multimodality'
(communication via a number of modes simultaneously) has become central to our
everyday interaction. This has given rise to a new kind of literacy that is
rapidly gaining ground as an area of research. A companion to Making Sense,
which explored the functions of reference, agency and structure in meaning,
Adding Sense extends this analysis with two more surrounding functions. It
addresses the ways in which 'context' and 'interest' add necessary sense to
immediate objects of meaning, proposing a 'transpositional grammar' to account
for movement across these different forms of meaning. Adding Sense weaves its
way through philosophy, semiotics, social theory and the history of ideas. Its
examples cross a range of social contexts, from the meaning universes of the
First Peoples, to the new forms of meaning that have emerged in the era of
digitally-mediated communication.

Introduction; Part 1. Context; Part 2. Interest.
