Att skapa mening är att lära : Datorer och yngre barns textanvändning
- 2012
-
In: Resultatdialog 2012. - Stockholm : Vetenskapsrådet. - 9789173072137 ; , s. 48-57
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Yngre barn, i detta fall 7‐ och 8‐ åringar, använder datorer både i skolan och hemma. I så kallade ”en till en”‐projekt har varje barn en dator i skolan, och huvuddelen av undervisningen är knuten till denna dator. Projektet visar hur kopplingar mellan det som barnen gör med datorer hemma och i skolan, och mellan självvalda och lärarinitierade aktiviteter i klassrummet, kan ha underutnyttjad potential för lärande. Dessutom diskuteras principer för hur yngre barns texter där skrift, bild och grafik blandas kan bedömas. Ett barn barn kan till exempel skapa julkänsla i en text genom samspelet mellan färger och skrift, medan andra förlitar sig helt på skriften.

What are analog bulletin boards used for today? Analysing media uses, intermediality and technology affordances in Swedish bulletin board messages using a citizen science approach
- 2018
-
In: PLoS ONE. - : Public Library of Science (PLoS). - 1932-6203. ; 13:8
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Analog bulletin boards are omnipresent in Swedish urban areas, yet little systematic knowledge about this communication medium exists. In the shadow of the rapid emergence of digital media the analog bulletin board has received less attention than its digital successors, many of them having incorporated similar functionality with novel technical solutions. In this study we used a citizen science method to collect 1167 messages from bulletin boards around Sweden aided by school children and teachers, with the purpose of shedding new light on what is communicated on the boards, by whom, using what types of technologies and in what way the messages refer to other media. Results show that the most common messages are invitations to events, such as concerts, lectures and sports events, followed by buy-and-sell ads for goods and services. The most frequent sender is an association, for example NGOs, sports associations or religious communities. Almost half of the sampled messages were professionally printed, about forty per cent were made by home printers. Only six per cent of the messages were handwritten, almost exclusively by private persons as senders. Moreover, we show how the analog bulletin board has adapted to recent changes in media technology—a media landscape which is saturated with electronic- and mobile media. Further, the bulletin board still holds a firm place in a media ecology where local communication is in demand, and exists in parallel with electronic media. Close to forty percent of the messages contained hyperlinks to web pages and we found (and removed for anonymization purposes) more than six hundred phone numbers from the dataset.

Editorial multimodality and society
- 2024
-
In: Multimodality & Society. - : Sage Publications. - 2634-9795 .- 2634-9809.
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- 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.

Advancing multimodal and critical discourse studies : Interdisciplinary research inspired by Theo van Leeuwen's social semiotics
- 2018. - 1
-
Editorial collection (peer-reviewed)abstract
- As a founder and leading figure in multimodality and social semiotics, Theo van Leuween has made significant contributions to a variety of research fields, including discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, communication and media studies, education, and design. In celebration of his illustrious research career, this volume brings together a group of leading and emerging scholars in these fields to review, explore and advance two central research agendas set out by van Leeuwen: the categorisation of the meaning potential of various semiotic resources and the examination of their uses in different forms of communication, and the critical analysis of the interaction between semiotic forms, norms and technology in discursive practices. Through 11 cutting-edge research papers and an experimental visual essay, the book investigates a broad range of semiotic resources including touch, sound, image, texture, and discursive practices such as community currency, fitness regime, film scoring, and commodity upcycling. The book showcases how social semiotics and multimodality can provide insights into the burning issues of the day, such as global neoliberalism, terrorism, consumerism, and immigration.

Discourses in and Around Upcycled Artefacts : A Social Semiotic Perspective
- 2021
-
In: State-of-the-Art Upcycling Research and Practice. - Cham : Springer. - 9783030726409 - 9783030726393 ; , s. 29-32
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 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 upcycling

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- 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).
