ALDS Professor Natasha Artemeva and Dr. Chloë Grace Fogarty-Bourget, in collaboration with Dr. Liliana Vázques Rocca, a colleague from Chile, have recently published an edited collection on multimodality studies in international contexts.
The book investigates the impact of unprecedented global challenges, such as Covid-19, on the way people communicate by using different meaning-making resources (modes), including language, images, gestures, audio, video, and so on.
The collection brings together established and emergent scholars from both the Global North and Global South, ranging from New Zealand to Europe to Canada to South Africa, Latin America, Brazil, and the Caribbean. This innovative book will be of interest to students and scholars in multimodality, social semiotics, and discourse analysis.
