Multimodality & Society is an inter-disciplinary journal that understands communication and representation to be more than about language. The field of multimodality has been developed over the past 20 years to systematically address much-debated questions about changes in society, for instance in relation to new media and technologies. It provides concepts, methods and a framework for the collection and analysis of visual, aural, embodied, material, and spatial aspects of interaction and environments, and the relationships between these. Multimodality & Society consolidates and advances the development of multimodal research theory, methodologies, and contribute to empirical understanding of how multimodality shapes the social landscape of interaction and communication. It welcomes high-quality research with a commitment to multimodality, with a scope that emphasizes:
- Accounting for a full range of modes, moving beyond the visual and language
- Foregrounding multimodal interaction and texts-in-action, rather than texts or objects
- Interrogating the digital, and how its use reshapes multimodality
- Investigating the role of material, social and cultural resources in multimodal interaction and Communication
- Critiquing, mapping, consolidating, and advancing multimodal theory, concepts and methods
- Exploring the potentials of interdisciplinary innovative multimodal research
The journal engages with the social landscape of interaction and communication, drawing on multimodal work undertaken within a range of fields of application (e.g. health and well-being, work, formal and informal learning, leisure, governance and politics), and with respect to a range of topics (e.g. identity, social justice). Multimodal theory has significant international reach and the journal focuses on the international social landscape of interaction and communication.
