Surprise between media, minds and world : A Peircean process semiotic approach
- 2020
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The central idea of this thesis is that the relationship between cognition,media and environments is regulated by surprise. The relationship between cognition, media and environments is a foundational problem for studies of cognition, culture and/or communication. This thesis introduces a view on this relationship, based on the concept of surprise within the framework of Peircean process semiotics. This framework consists of an original interpretation and application of Peirce's semiotics oriented by premisesfrom process philosophy. Peirce's semiotics conceives of communication,cognition and one's relation to the environment in terms of triadic signaction, or semiosis. “Triadic” here expresses a skepticism of any dualism (mind/matter, subject/object, representation/represented object...). Process philosophy is a worldview and a mode of thinking based on the notion of dynamic and emergent processes. Peircean process semiotics entails two positions: semiotic processualism and active semiotic externalism. In semiotic processualism, semiosis is a dynamic and temporally distributedprocess. Semiosis interweaves present, past, and future according to ageneral and recursive temporality. In active semiotic externalism, agency in semiosis is external to the agents themselves, distributed in cognitive niches of organisms, artifacts, and environmental conditions.Semiosis depends on and responds to an underlying logical situation of surprise. Surprise underlies and regulates temporal distribution of semiosisand the externalist agency of semiosis. I illustrate these notions withexamples from Brazilian poetry. From the viewpoint of semioticprocessualism, surprises are crises in the temporal distribution of semiosis,when the recursive time of habit and anticipation is disturbed. I illustrate this view with concrete poetry, a form of avant-garde poetry. Against versified poetry, Brazilian concrete poets pursued a crisis in the time of the poem and in the historical time of poetry. From the viewpoint of activesemiotic externalism, surprises are shifts in agency, when the roles of agent and patient change within a cognitive niche. I illustrate this view with Repente, a tradition of improvisational and competitive poetic dialogues. Repente produces surprise for the poets and for the audience through thejoint dynamic action of versification procedures, guitar playing and singing.

Beyond Media Borders, Volume 1 : Intermedial Relations among Multimodal Media
- 2020
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This open access book promotes the idea that all media types are multimodal and that comparing media types, through an intermedial lens, necessarily involves analysing these multimodal traits. The collection includes a series of interconnected articles that illustrate and clarify how the concepts developed in Elleström’s influential article The Modalities of Media: A Model for Understanding Intermedial Relations (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010) can be used for methodical investigation and interpretation of media traits and media interrelations. The authors work with a wide range of old and new media types that are traditionally investigated through limited, media-specific concepts. The publication is a significant contribution to interdisciplinary research, advancing the frontiers of conceptual as well as practical understanding of media interrelations. This is the first of two volumes. It contains Elleström’s revised article and six other contributions focusing especially on media integration: how media products and media types are combined and merged in various ways.

A medium-centered model of communication

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this article is to form a new communication model, which is centered on the intermediate stage of communication, here called medium. The model is intended to be irreducible, to highlight the essential communication entities and their interrelations, and potentially to cover all conceivable kinds of communication of meaning. It is designed to clearly account for both verbal and nonverbal meaning, the different roles played by minds and bodies in communication, and the relation between presemiotic and semiotic media features. As a result, the model also pinpoints fundamental obstacles for communication located in media products themselves, and demonstrates how Shannon's model of transmission of computable data can be incorporated in a model of human communication of meaning.

A Theoretical Approach to Media Transformations

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, I will firstly sketch a fundamental distinction between representation and mediation, or, more specifically, between representation of media and transmediation. After that, I will discuss media characteristics that can be called “transmedial”, meaning that they can be successfully transferred from one medium to another. The aim is to establish a framework from which to develop a comprehensive theory of transmediality that has the capacity to include a wide range of phenomena that are characterized by transfers of media characteristics. To date, there has been no systematic account of all these phenomena. Existing research is characterized by compartmentalization, which does not favor a general understanding of transmedial relations. Most existing studies focus either on only a few media and their specific interrelations, or on limited study areas such as adaptation and ekphrasis. At the present time, adaptation is probably the most vigorous research area dedicated to the study of transmediality.

Adaptation and Intermediality
- 2017
-
Ingår i: The Oxford Handbook of Adaptation Studies. - New York : Oxford University Press. - 9780199331000 - 9780199331017 ; , s. 509-526
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this essay is to investigate the relation between adaptation and intermediality and to demonstrate why adaptation studies would profit from a broad intermedial research context. A list of ten ways of delimiting the notion of adaptation within the broader field of intermediality is presented and thoroughly discussed. The goal is to pinpoint border zones of adaptation that are only partly recognized as such by adaptation scholars. It is argued that failing to reflect on these borders ignores relevant neighbor disciplines, and that insufficient attention to related theoretical fields reduces the possibility for adaptation studies to produce research that is relevant for a broader range of phenomena and a broader field of scholars. The essay also briefly investigates some core issues of intermedial research, and hence of adaptation studies, and summarizes some vital notions that are helpful for investigating essential similarities and differences among media and for capturing the material and semiotic conditions for adaptation.

As modalidades das mídias II : Um modelo expandido para compreender as relações intermidiais
- 2021
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- TEXTO. IMAGEM. SOM. Ainda que para alguns estudos essa tríade não seja problemática, definições para esses termos são fundamentais para o diálogo entre as diferentes áreas que se interessam pelo significado dos produtos de mídia – expressão de Lars Elleström para textos em suas diferentes manifestações. Como Diretor do Intermedial and Multimodal Studies na Linnæus University, Elleström focaliza justamente nessa perspectiva interdisciplinar da Intermidialidade e em seu potencial para fornecer uma terminologia e uma abordagem capazes de abarcar a enorme diversidade das relações intermidiais. Neste ensaio, ele se concentra no conceito de mídia, modalidade e modo, oferecendo um texto basilar para todos aqueles que não apenas se interessam pelas relações intermidiais, mas também àqueles que estudam a Comunicação em geral, como pesquisadores de Cinema, Jornalismo e Literatura.
