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.

A medium-centered model of communication
- 2018

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

- 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.

Bridging the Gap Between Image and Metaphor Through Cross-Modal Iconicity : An Interdisciplinary Model
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Dimensions of Iconicity. - Amsterdam : John Benjamins Publishing Company. - 9789027243515 - 9789027265180 ; , s. 167-190

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Our minds are capable of perceiving similarities not only within the same but also across different sensory areas and different cognitive domains. Iconicity is representation based on similarity, and cross-modal iconicity, which is an extremely widespread phenomenon, should be understood as iconicity that crosses the borders of different kinds of material, spatiotemporal, and sensorial modes, and, furthermore, the border between sensory structures and cognitive configurations. For instance, a visual entity may resemble and thus iconically represent something that is auditory or abstractly cognitive. The aim of this semiotic study, substantially based on empirical findings in psychological, cognitive, and neurological research, is to suggest a general theoretical framework for conceptualizing cross-modal iconicity and relating different kinds of mono-modal and cross-modal iconicity to each other. Its chief argument is that perception and conception of images and metaphors should be understood as the two extremes in a continuum of iconic representation where cross-modal iconicity bridges the apparent gap between mono-modal, sensory-based iconicity and cognitive iconicity. It offers an outline of material, spatiotemporal, and sensorial modes and their interrelations; a thorough account of cross-modal iconicity; a conceptual structure for charting degrees of similarity and iconicity with the aid of cross-modality; an array of examples illustrating the continuum of iconicity from image to metaphor; and a brief discussion of the notion of image schema as an explanatory factor for cross-modal iconicity.

Coherence and truthfulness in communication : Intracommunicational and extracommunicational indexicality
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Semiotica. - : Walter de Gruyter. - 0037-1998 .- 1613-3692. ; :225, s. 423-446

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this article is to construct a model that demonstrates how human communication, involving all kinds of media, may not only correspond to but also put us in contact with what we perceive to be the surrounding world. In which ways is truthfulness actually established by communication ? To answer this, the notion of indices is employed: signs based on contiguity. However, an investigation of indices' outward direction - creating truthfulness in communication - also requires an understanding of their inward direction: establishing coherence. To investigate these two functions, further concepts and various elementary categorizations are proposed: it is argued that there are several types of contiguity and many varieties of indexical objects, which invalidates the coarse fiction-nonfiction distinction.

Iconicity as Meaning Miming Meaning and Meaning Miming Form
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Iconicity in Language and Literature. - Philadelphia och Amsterdam : John Benjamins. - 1873-5037. - 9789027243454 ; 9, s. 73-100
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Iconicity consists of mimetic relations between form and meaning. This article is based on the notion of ‘spatial thinking’ and it is argued that there is no form without meaning, and that all meaning has some sort of form. Two fundamental distinctions are used. The first is Charles Sanders Peirce’s well-known division into three types of iconicity: image, diagram, and metaphor, which is extended to include ‘weak’ and ‘strong diagrams’. The second is a distinction between ontologically different appearances of signs: visual material signs, auditory material signs, and complex cognitive signs. A two-dimensional model illustrating the relations between these two distinctions is presented. The model is based on the assumption that iconicity, to a certain extent, is gradable, and it shows that the field of iconicity includes many phenomena that are not generally seen as related, but that nevertheless can be systematically compared. It also shows, among other things, that the ‘metaphor’ and the ‘weak diagram’ are singled out by the capacity of miming across the borders both between the visual and the auditory, and between the material and the mental. The main argument of the article is that iconicity should be understood not only as “form miming meaning and form miming form”, but also as “meaning miming meaning and meaning miming form”.
