Abstract:

The book explores the multifaceted nature of media and communication
by challenging traditional views that consider media solely as
technical infrastructures for transmitting information. Instead, it
focuses on mediality as an empirically relevant concept and proposes
to understand media as socially constituted semiotic procedures that
shape and are shaped by communicative practices. The book is
structured around this central idea, with four main sections.<br
/>Part I examines digital environments, analyzing the interplay
between multimodal approaches and mediality through case studies such
as digital learning platforms and Zoom seminars. Part II focuses on
journalistic procedures, investigating how media shapes political
debates and news presentation on platforms like Instagram. Part III
delves into embodied processes, particularly the role of the body
movements and gestures in communication, illustrated through analyses
of yoga tutorials and family dinner conversations. Part IV combines
diverse semiotic and medial resources, with studies on historical data
interpretation and virtual reality gaming practices. The book aims to
provide a comprehensive understanding of the role of different media
in constituting meaning and shaping social interactions.
