Broken Mirrors: Representations of Apocalypses and Dystopias in Popular Culture
- 2019
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Dystopian stories and visions of the Apocalypse are nothing new; however in recent years there has been a noticeable surge in the output of this type of theme in literature, art, comic books/graphic novels, video games, TV shows, etc. The reasons for this are not exactly clear; it may partly be as a result of post 9/11 anxieties, the increasing incidence of extreme weather and/or environmental anomalies, chaotic fluctuations in the economy and the uncertain and shifting political landscape in the west in general. Investigating this highly topical and pervasive theme from interdisciplinary perspectives this volume presents various angles on the main topic through critical analyses of selected works of fiction, film, TV shows, video games and more.

Image-based Online Communication: Observations on the Status of Images as Linguistic Constituentss in Computer-mediated Communication
- 2011

In: McLuhan Galaxy Conference: Understanding Media, Today. - 9788493880217
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper we look at the use of digital photographs and images as a McLuhanesque extension of written language in computer-mediated communication (CMC). Borrowing the analytical tools of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), sociolinguistics, semiotics and conventional grammatical analysis, we explore user-generated multimodal utterances in the everyday conversational exchanges of selected internet messageboards. Representative examples are presented and discussed in terms of SFL metafunctions, sociolinguistic pressures, grammatical categories and occasionally semiotic signification. We highlight the use of images in CMC as markers of linguistic identity which are understood through the conventionalized meaning-making practices of some online communities.
