    Editorial multimodality and society2024In: Multimodality & Society, ISSN 2634-9795, E-ISSN 2634-9809Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This issue, the first of volume 4, marks the start of Multimodality & Society’s fourth year and provides a good moment to look across the past 3 years to review and reflect on the journal’s contribution to multimodality. Multimodality & Society aims to consolidate and advance multimodal theory, methodologies, and empirical understanding of interaction and communication. This editorial considers the collective contribution of the 12 issues published to date and points to how the journal can continue to push the boundaries of multimodality forward. We highlight the significance of the journal’s expansion of multimodal formats, and several directions embedded in the journal scope which we have advanced.

    "de va ju jag som va syndaren va?": En analys av ju i vardagliga samtal2008Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka användningen av "ju" i vardagliga samtal. Det primära materialet för undersökningen är därför en ljud- och bildinspelning av ett vardagligt samtal mellan tre unga kvinnor. Ur detta samtal analyseras en sekvens där "ju" förekommer med samtalsanalys (CA) som metod. Analysen visar att den främsta funktionen hos "ju" i denna sekvens är att skapa gemenskap och engagemang.

    Cultural Awareness and Democratic values in Swedish EFL Coursebooks.: A study of the promotion of cultural awareness and democratic values.2017Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The overall aim of this essay is to analyze how two different coursebooks, Pioneer 2 andContext 2, present non-white/non-western culture and contribute in promoting both cultural awareness and democratic values at English 6 of Swedish upper secondary school. To be able to do such an analysis a broad theoretical background on cultural awareness and democratic values is given. The essay will demonstrate that the textbooks of the study have different approaches to cultural awareness and that textbooks used in language teaching can be different while still attaining the overall purpose of the Swedish curricula. The first book presents a lighter and less detailed view on culture, but with more varied sections using authentic texts, comparisons between cultures and static cultural outlook. The second book uses fewer examples but goes more in depth with each example using authentic texts, intercultural comparisons, and focused sections, leading to a better understanding of culture as dynamic.

    Abstract [en]

    A good news anchor knows how to act naturally in front of the camera. A person who gives the impression of authority and trustworthiness. A person who not only reads the news; but rather reports the news events. It is also important that the news anchors presentation is neutral as part of an unbiased news service. As a voice machine; the prime mission of the news anchor is to reproduce the news without showing their own personal opinions. The language should be to the point; correct; but most of all vivid. A good news anchor has the ability to make a boring news event feel important and meaningful.

    The driving force of a vivid language is to increase the viewers comprehension of the news. From an interactional point of view; the use of vivid language by the news anchor shows an increasing awareness of the presence of the audience and a willingness to engage the viewers. The use of prosodic and non-verbal means of communication can also have other functions; such as influencing the audience when interpreting news events. How does the news anchor put forward a sad versus a funny news-item? Is there a difference in the presentation of a news-item concerning economy and a news-item concerning cultural happenings? Do all news anchors use the same stereotypical signals and/or are there individual differences?

    This article is a minor part of my dissertation on interaction in television news.

    TV:s nyhetsprogram som interaktion2002Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    During the last third of the 20th century, Swedish public and social life underwent an informalization process. The television news programmes today display the results of this development (and other trends) involving more dramaturgic variation, interactive elements, informalization and "cosiness".

    This thesis deals with interaction in television news from a viewer's point of view. The general purpose of the work has been to investigate the newsanchor's interaction with the viewers, the colleagues and the studio guests. The aim has been to describe the characteristic features of this interaction by using analytical tools from interactional sociolinguistics, particulary those concerning contextualization cues.

    The material consists of 11.5 hours of videotaped studio talk from three different news programmes (Aktuellt, Nyheterna and Tvärsnytt) during 1997–1998. The material– transcribed in extenso–is limited to the verbal and non-verbal activity of the newsreaders in four interactional situations: the newsreaders' monological quasi-interaction with the viewers, handovers, interviews with colleagues and with guests.

    The pervasive idea of the thesis is that news programmes can been seen as dramas in which the participants play certain roles. By using a number of devices, the participants enact these roles before the eyes of the viewers. The interaction can therefore be seen as an act performed for the benefit of the viewers. The theorethical basis for the dissortation is Goffman's ideas about participation structure (animator, author, principal, authorized and unauthorized listener), self-presentation, and framing. Of great importance is also Gumperz' notion of contextualization.

    The investigation shows that the newsreader uses a variety of contextualization cues and lets verbal and non-verbal means interplay to make contact with the viewers, e.g. you-pronouns, smiles, greetings and reminders. The interaction on the screen also displays an hierarchical order–the newsanchor steers the others' contributions. He/she also assigns to colleagues and guests different interactional roles. The reporter may alternately play the role of eyewitness, expert, analyst/speculator and commentator. The guest is called in to act either as expert, confrontation target, analyst/commentator, or representative.

    Snö, blod och pepparkakor: Lexikografisk behandling och språkbrukarnas beskrivning av färger i nordiska språk2023In: Den 17. konferansen om leksikografi i Norden: Bergen 24.–26. mai 2023, 2023, p. 12-12Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Färgbeteckningar som vit, röd och brun definieras i ordböcker företrädesvis genom 1. referens till ett prototypiskt objekt (t.ex. ”som har färg som nyfallen snö”), 2. en beskrivning av färgens fysiska egenskaper (t.ex. ”en av grundfärgerna”), 3. färgens relation till andra färger (t.ex. ”en blandfärg av svart, gult och rött”).

    I min undersökning av den lexikografiska behandlingen av elva färgbeteckningar i fem nordiska ordböcker – Svensk ordbok, Den Danske Ordbog, Det Norske Akademis ordbok, Íslensk orðabók och Kielitoimiston sanakirja – fokuserar jag på variationer i definitionsvokabulär och definition genom referens till prototypiskt objekt. Därutöver jämför jag ordböckernas val av prototypiskt objekt med resultatet från en enkätundersökning som genomförts rörande språkbrukarnas uppfattning om det bästa, mest typiska, exemplet på respektive färg.

    I föredraget presenteras konstaterade likheter och skillnader i definiens såväl inom som mellan ordböckerna. Därtill diskuteras principer för val av prototypiska objekt.

    Discourses in and Around Upcycled Artefacts: A Social Semiotic Perspective2021In: State-of-the-Art Upcycling Research and Practice: Proceedings of the International Upcycling Symposium 2020 / [ed] Kyungeun Sung; Jagdeep Singh; Ben Bridgens, Springer, 2021, p. 29-32Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This chapter employs a social semiotic perspective to explore global/local discourses of upcycled artefacts. Social semiotics bring a focus on meaning-making to the emerging field of upcycling studies: in what ways does the social practice of upcycling produce meanings of, for instance, value adding, emancipation, or sustainability? In particular, this chapter focuses on the aesthetic and functional values that are added in upcycling that address the demands of different local and global markets. An interest in the relation between social practices, materiality and meaning-making is at the core of social semiotics, and this chapter focuses on how discourses in and around an upcycled artefact make it possible for it to move between cultural and geographical spaces, whilst both maintaining and transforming the meaning potential of the artefact.

    The 'semiotics of value' in upcycling2018In: Advancing multimodal and critical discourse studies: Interdisciplinary research inspired by Theo van Leeuwen's social semiotics / [ed] Sumin Zhao, Emilia Djonov, Anders Björkvall, Morten Boeriis, New York: Routledge, 2018, 1, p. 165-180Chapter in book (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The last twenty years has seen the rise of global consumer movements that critique overconsumption, focusing on looking at the whole life of a product or artefact. Practices like ‘recycling’ (re-use without necessarily adding value) and ‘upcycling’ (re-use with obvious value adding) are part of such movements. This chapter looks at value adding in artefacts from a social semiotic perspective in order to explore upcycling as branding in a global context. It draws on van Leeuwen’s (2005) distinction between theoretical and actual semiotic potential of semiotic resources when key branding resources, such as typography, shape, materials, and colour are identified in upcycled artefacts. The connotative and experiential provenance (Kress and van Leeuwen, 2001) of these resources are of key importance for our analysis. We look at how resources are resemiotizised and recontextualised and, to various degrees, recognised in upcycled artefacts  that  move between South Africa and Europe. One of the conclusions is that the processes of value adding through re-branding can be described as spatio-linguistic re-branding or sensory re-branding (cf. Djonov and van Leeuwen, 2011).

    Samtalets betydelse för barns språkutveckling: -En studie av hur barn i förskoleklass använder språket i   leken2016Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    The aim with this study is to examine children’s play with regard to language development. The research project is based on Vygotskij’s socio-culture perspective dealing with children’s language development and learning through interplay with other children. It is also based on the scholarship on what language skills children learn by talking to another one. In the study I use observations to find out how children use the language when they interact with each other in play situations. The results confirm the idea that play-situations have a big impact on children’s development in language because it leads to children creating ways to discover the language, for example using their language skills as a tool to make others understand them. By interacting with other children they use different ways to speak and solve problems. In addition, they use the language to put words to their thoughts and fantasies and share their opinions, experiences and ideas. It further concludes that play situations provide a way for children to explore the language in a way that it becomes a part of their natural world.

    Explorations in bilingual instructional interaction: a sociocultural perspective on literacy2002In: Learning and instruction, ISSN 0959-4752, E-ISSN 1873-3263, Vol. 12, no 5, p. 557-587Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The research reported here attempts to understand issues of Swedish Deaf bilingual students’ secondary language learning and literacy practices. In Swedish schools for the Deaf Swedish Sign Language is considered to be the students’ primary language and written Swedish is considered to be their secondary language. By using ethnographically inspired methodology the project has been analyzing bilingual instructional interaction and everyday language use in these settings. Notions of Global Lesson Patterns, Local-Chaining and Linguistic Complexity are explicated in an effort to show how instructional interactions can afford (or limit) learning possibilities in bilingual settings. Students appear to unwittingly receive opportunities to participate in literacy activities in lessons where Swedish is not explicitly focused. A sociocultural approach to the understanding of learning, development and language has important implications for the teaching and learning of secondary languages, both in Deaf bilingual classrooms and in bilingual classrooms in general.

    Going beyond oral-written-signed-virtual divides: theorizing languaging from mind-as-action practice perspectives2017In: Writing & Pedagogy, ISSN 1756-5839, E-ISSN 1756-5847, Vol. 9, no 1, p. 49-75Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The emergence of the knowledge society, increased global-local migration flows, the explosion of social media and disparate regional power and resource shifts, including conflicts in the new millennium have shaped not only the sociocultural fabric of human existence on our planet, but also the parameters of the research enterprise itself. Broadly taking sociocultural and neo-(post)colonial points of departure, the work presented in this article addresses gaps in the research where a screwed monolingual, monomodality bias continues to dominate much of the thinking in the Language and Educational sciences, particularly in the Global North. This thinking is clearly at odds given the dimensions of human existence in the new millennium.

    The empirically driven multidisciplinary study reported in this article takes a socially oriented perspective on human activity. It is broadly framed in the intersections of (new) Literacy Studies, Communication Studies, Deaf Studies and Critical Cultural Studies traditions. Regardless of the concepts that are used to describe and discuss different dimensions of human communication and identity that are evoked by or conferred upon language varieties and/or modalities used by individuals or groups, the analytical perspectives deployed here recognize the need to (re)conceptualise human linguistic-cultural behaviour, identity and space beyond divisions and boundaries. Taking neo-(post)colonial and sociocultural perspectives as points of departure, intersections and transitions are here recognized as spaces in their own right – as knowledge systems – that constitute rich sites for understanding how dimensions of communication or positions related to human identity are privileged and/or made redundant in everyday mundane interactions.

    Meaning-making processes in everyday life are here accorded primacy when compared to formal structural properties of linguistic variation, modalities and identity positions. The point of departure here is that human beings communicate with one another and they create meaning together, irrespective of whether this communication occurs in one, two or more linguistic varieties, dialects, registers or written-, pictorial-, oral-, signing- modality based systems.

    Ideas and themes that emerge from micro-empirical analysis of (i) hearing mono- and bi-variety communication, (ii) bi/multimodal communication in “visually oriented” environments, and (iii) oral-written, multimodal face-to-face and virtual communication are highlighted. “Thick accounts” and “transcripts” of mundane communication from different ethnographically pushed projects based at the CCD (Communication, Culture and Diversity – Deaf Studies) research group at Örebro University in Sweden are presented and discussed. The multi-fronted analysis of data from different language sets (in different projects) from traditionally segregated academic fields (for instance research results in fields such as Swedish/mother tongue, bilingualism, reading and writing, multimodality, deaf communication, online communication and education, etc) allows for juxtaposing the explorations against one another. Analyses are concerned with the ways and techniques that children and adults employ in order to accomplish “the social” inside and outside different institutional settings. What are the distributed and situated ways-with-words of human beings who routinely use more than one language variety and/or different modalities in different settings? The role of the written word as a technology in relationship to languaging broadly and how written, oral, signed communication are handled in daily life inside and outside learning institutional settings is explored. Furthermore, this article explores how these framings allow for understanding newer and older concepts such as superdiversity, code-switching, pluri/multilingualism, deaf bilingualism in Scandinavian and Swedish geopolitical spaces.

    The findings presented highlight the fluidity displayed in naturally occurring languaging, including its multimodality (in both face-to-face and virtual settings). Furthermore I raise didactic implications from the analysis that takes a social practice perspective and goes beyond structurally framed concepts such as codes, switching, oral language, written language, signed language, bilingualism, etc. This attention to human activity and ways-with-words makes visible the chained and linked fluidity of languaging. Focusing social practices – what gets communicated and the ways in which the same occurs – allows for problematizing the dominating monolingual-monomodality position in addition to the “monological” essentialistic perspectives that currently dominate the fields of bilingualism and literacy in educational settings in the Global North.

    Language learners and learning language in the era of reinforced boundaries: challenging webs-of-understandings related to bilingualism ethnographically2015In: -isms of Oppression in Language Education: / [ed] Damian J Rivers and Karin Zotzmann, Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter, 2015Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This empirically driven multidisciplinary study takes a socioculturally oriented decolonial perspective on language, identity and learning. It is framed in the intersections of Communication Studies, Literacy Studies and Educational Sciences traditions on the one hand, and the identity research domains of Deaf Studies and Gender Studies on the other. An overarching aim is to present explorations of bi/multilingualism from bi/multilingual multimodal perspectives. Focusing the ways in which individuals’ language, in public spaces, schools or work spaces, makes visible the performative work that participants (and institutions) “do” with semiotic resources. Language is empirically accounted for not as the sole property of an individual, community or geopolitical state, but rather as an intrinsic performatory dimension of both interlinked language varieties and modalities and humans in concert with tools in face-to-face, textually and digitally mediated spaces. Focusing social practices – what gets communicated and the ways in which the same occurs – allows for problematizing dominant hegemonic epistemologies related to language, identity and learning. Alternative decolonial vantage positions together with multisite, multi-scale data (like diaries, field-notes, video-data, narrative biographies, language curricula and archive data across time) from ethnographic projects at the Communication, Culture and Diversity, CCD research group at Örebro University, Sweden have enabled center staging “isms” that currently collate towards reinforcing oppressive boundaries and producing newer web-of-understandings in the Language and Educational Sciences. Together with an oral language bias in academic reporting these webs-of-understandings reinforce dominant monolingual-monomodality positions in addition to monological essentialistic colonial perspectives on language, identity and learning. The analysis highlights that ways of conceptualizing, reporting and “talking about bi/multilingualism” are not in sync with mundane languaging or ways-of-being-with-words, or peoples engagement in everyday “bi/multilingual communication” inside and outside institutional settings. The findings have major relevance for reframing both educational as well as societal agendas in the global North, but also South.

    Om att ”göra det omöjliga möjligt” och att ”brinna för kultur, ungdomar och kaffe”. [About ”making possible the impossible” and ”burning for culture, young people and coffee”]: en tredje position i samtal om inklusion och kritiska tankar kring representations-didaktik.

    Abstract [sv]

    Integrering, inkludering, jämställdhet och likvärdighet konstituerar fundamentala idéer inom ramen för demokratisering i stort i samhället och dess institutioner. Verksamheter som ungdomsskola, högskola, teater, vård, riksdag, mm men även arenor som professionsutbildningar och forskning (särskild inom tvärvetenskapliga fält såsom utbildningsvetenskap och vård och habilitering) är viktiga i detta sammanhang. Hur gränsdragningar sker i samtliga dessa arenor – skola, politik, vård, lärarutbildningen och inte minst forskning – spelar en viktig roll i vilka identiteter uppmärksammas som i längden har relevans för inklusion och det som jag kallar representations-didaktik.

    Tankar om pluralism och likvärdighet i ett samhället-för-alla, en-skola-för-alla och kultur-för-alla bygger på en grundläggande demokratisk idé om allas lika värde i dagens globaliserade tillvaro. Utbildningens nya kontext (och därmed även forskning om utbildningen i stort) i dagens globaliserade tillvaro utgör en dramatisk förändring som har konsekvenser för socialt liv och den mänskliga gemenskapen – från en möjlighet för några till en möjlighet för alla och från en kontext för en viss åldersgrupp till en kontext där hela livet innefattas. Även om de olika kulturella utrycksformer – dans, teater, musik, konst, mm – och dess konsumtion anses vara något för alla, förblir dessa stark begränsade till vissa i samhället. Det samma kan sägas om samhällets beslutsfattande institutioner i ”representativa demokratier”. Medan organ som riksdag, kommun fullmäktige, mm väls av alla och förväntas representera alla, finns det fortfarande en snäv representation av olikhet i dessa världen över.

    Den här artikeln tar avstamp i den forskningsverksamhet som jag ansvarar för inom ramen för det tvärvetenskapliga nätverket CCD (se www.oru.se/humes/ccd) och min egen forskning i såväl den globala Nord som den globala Syd (se www.oru.se/humes/sangeeta_bagga-gupta). Jag kommer, utifrån ett dekolonialt perspektiv och ett sociokulturellt ramverk kring människans kommunikation, lärande och identitet, specifikt att diskutera de föreställningar (eller metaforer) kring ”inkludering” och ”segregering” som vi lever med och som skapar förutsättningar för barn, unga och vuxna i en mängd olika institutionaliserade verksamheter. I artikeln tar jag upp exempel från mina projekt för att illustrera att våra uppfattningar om mänsklig identitet, mångfald och extrem-mångfald (En: super-diversity), inklusive ”en påhittad praxisgemenskap” (En: imaginary community, Andersson 1996), spelar en avgörande roll för samhällets planering och insatser för integrering, inkludering, jämställdhet och likvärdighet. I artikeln presenterar jag kort utgångspunkter som kännetecknar den härskande dikotomi inkludering-segregering, för att därefter gå vidare till ett tredje perspektiv kring människan och hennes potential till deltaganden i praxisgemenskaper. Jag argumenterar att det är väsentlig att gå bortom denna dikotomi såväl metaforisk som i hur samhället organiserar deltagande i sina institutioner. Jag introducerar en tredje position i samtalet om mänsklig gemenskap där omvänt-inklusion och representations-didaktik möjliggör nya föreställningar och institutionella ordningar när det gäller ett samhället-för-alla, en-skola-för-alla och kultur-för-alla.

    Perspektiv på genre2001In: Rhetorica Scandinavica, ISSN 1397-0534, E-ISSN 2002-7974, Vol. 18, p. 4-16Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Artikeln diskuterar moderna genreteorier och presenterar artiklarna i detta temanummer. Den visar hur nordiska och internationella forskningstraditioner vuxit fram och förhåller sig till varandra. Även om dagens genreforskning förenas av ett pragmatiskt perspektiv är det uppenbart att det inte finns någon enighet om vad genre är för slags fenomen. I syfte att bringa ordning i den begreppsförvirring som råder, jämförs olika skolbildningar. Det sker först utifrån kunskapsintressen och sedan utifrån hur genre har relaterats till kulturkontext, socialisering, situationskontext, textstruktur och språk.

    Artefakters betydelsepotentialer: En presentation av den sociosemiotiska etnografin som teori och metod2012In: Nordisk socialsemiotik: Pædagogiske, multimodale og sprogvidenskabelige landvindinger / [ed] Thomas Hestbæk Andersen & Morten Boeriis, Odense: Syddansk Universitetsforlag , 2012, p. 59-88Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    I kapitlet introduceras den sociosemiotiska etnografin som teori och metod genom analyser av olika typer av artefakter: bord från Ikea och texter och andra artefakter som yngre barn använder hemma och i skolan. Artefakternas betydelsepotentialer betraktas dels som teoretiska, dels som aktualiserade. De förra har att göra med de mer systematiska och designrelaterade betydelserna och de senare med de betydelser som verkliga användare av artefakterna väljer att aktualisera i olika situationer. Denna distinktion har metodologiska implikationer för den sociosemiotiska etnografin: både design och användning av artefakterna måste analyseras, även om tyngdpunkten kan ligga på det ena eller det andra. I kapitlet diskuteras hur Ikea-bordsstudien främst är designorienterad samtidigt som den också tar in användning av borden och hur de placeras i verkliga hem. Studien av barnens artefakter och texter tar främst upp användning i olika kontexter, men deras design analyseras också.

    Resultaten visar hur Ikea-bord har utvecklade teoretiska betydelsepotentialer, främst när det gäller interpersonella betydelser och sådana som har att göra med exponering av andra artefakter. Analysen visar också hur användare av borden kan välja att lyfta fram eller tona ned dessa betydelsepotentialer. Beträffande barnens texter och artefakter så visar kapitlet bl.a. att intressen och diskurser från hemmet kan kopplas till skoldiskurser genom att artefakterna och texterna flyttas från den ena kontexten till den andra, inte minst med hjälp av datorer. Detta kan ha positiva effekter för barnens utvecklande av multimodal literacy.

    Critical genre analysis of management texts in the public sector: Towards a theoretical and methodological framework2018In: Kritiska text- och diskursstudier / [ed] Wojahn, Daniel, Seiler Brylla, Charlotta & Westberg, Gustav, Huddinge, Sweden: Södertörns högskola , 2018, 1, p. 57-79Chapter in book (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    An emerging genre at Swedish public authorities – ‘platform of values’ (Swedish ‘värdegrund’) or ‘value statement’/‘core values’ – functions as a backdrop to the theoretical and methodological discussions in this paper. The paper argues for the development of a critical genre analysis that goes beyond being primarily descriptive and that has its main expla- natory value at a level of generality above mode-specific features of, for instance, language or images. Based on a review of how the term ‘critical’ has been defined and applied in relation to genre in critical discourse analysis/studies (CDA/CDS), multimodality, and genre studies of profes- sional communication a number of prerequisites for a critical genre analysis are formulated. Based on these prerequisites, affordance and pro- venance are put forward as ‘true’ multimodal concepts that can form the foundation for a critical genre analysis of, in this case, multimodal ‘plat- form of values’ texts. The applicability of these concepts is illustrated through an analysis of a ‘platform of value’ text from an administrative court in Sweden.

    Abstract [en]

    In ‘one-to-one’ computing, schools provide learners with individual laptops. This chapter presents an analysis of how such laptops are used for writing and text creation by students in two secondary schools. The chapter is framed by a theoretical interest in the interconnections between uses of ‘one-to-one’ laptops in physical places, the virtual spaces they may ‘open up’, and their uses for performing semiotic actions. The results point to differences and possible inequalities in terms of how students perceive and use the semiotic potentials of the laptops as a means for engaging with and acting on the world through writing in combination with other semiotic modes.

    Practices of visual communication in a primary school classroom: Digital image collection as a potential semiotic mode2014In: Classroom Discourse, ISSN 1946-3014, E-ISSN 1946-3022, Vol. 5, no 1, p. 22-37Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    One-to-onecomputing projects in which learners work with individual laptops or tablets across subjects are rapidly increasing in number. One aspect of this is that as the laptops give access to the Internet; digital images and texts – potentially from all over the globe move into the classroom in an unprecedented manner. The paper presents an analysis of specific classroom practices involving seven- to eight-year-olds: the collecting of digital images and their use as semiotic resources in the creation of multimodal texts. The aim is to describe the childrens digital image collections as more or less mode-like that is, as a more or less systematically organised set of resources for making meaning. The methodology is described as social semiotic ethnography, combining semiotic analysis of images and texts with ethnographic understandings of the personal histories and interests of participants. The paper concludes that there are obvious practices in the classroom in which the children use their image collections in a mode-like way, such as categorising images according to semantic criteria, using them for display of identities in the classroom and systematically using them when designing multimodal texts, expressing both simple denotational meanings and more complex connotational semiotic potentials. Another conclusion is that the childrens image collections have untapped learning potentials, for example regarding critical reflections on how images create meaning, which could form the foundation for concrete learning activities in the classroom.

    Text- och resursorientering inom multimodalitetsforskningen: En teoretisk diskussion om förklaringsvärden2012In: Språk och stil, ISSN 1101-1165, E-ISSN 2002-4010, Vol. 22:1, no 1, p. 135-161Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This article discusses the explanatory value of two theoretical orientations within multimodal research on texts and communication, and it explores the potential benefits of combining them. Firstly, the multimodal text (involving other semiotic modes than language) can be taken as a point of departure for the analysis and understanding of meaning making. This has been a common approach within text and discourse analysis. Secondly, there is an orientation toward the multimodal resources being employed when people make meaning, placing the interests of sign-/text-makers and processes of text creation just as much in focus as the textual products that emerge from them.

    The discussions in the article primarily make reference to the broader framework of social semiotic multimodality research, taking the theoretical assumptions made in Kress & van Leeuwen’s influential book Reading images: The grammar of visual design (2006) as one important point of departure. In particular, research categorised under the tentative labels of multimodal discourse analysis, social semiotic multimodal analysis and multimodal interactional analysis is reviewed and related to the status the authors ascribe to texts and semiotic resources. The text analytical implications of text and resource orientations and combinations of the two are finally illustrated by a sample analysis of multimodal texts created by children in educational contexts.

    The business of turning children into consumers: A diachronic analysis of the symbolic exchange of goods and services in advertisements in a Swedish comic book2008In: Bridging Discourses: ASFLA 2007 online proceedings / [ed] Michele Zappavigna & Carmel Cloran, ASFLA , 2008Conference paper (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The child as a consumer is not a new concept but a changing one. This paper discusses the development of discourses around Swedish child consumers during the 20th century. The data comprise advertisements from the Swedish comic book Donald Duck & Co from the 1940s through the 1980s. The methodology is inspired by the systemic functional linguistic view of basic speech functions; an analysis of how child readers are incorporated in the symbolic exchange of goods and services through the use of commands and offers is presented. One finding is that child readers of early texts are ascribed little power over their own consumption. They are commanded and/or offered a chance to ‘compete’, to ‘win’, and to ‘mail’, but rarely to make direct consumer decisions. In the 1980s, a more competent child consumer can be discerned, commanded to ‘buy’ and to make independent consumer decisions.
