Definitions of modality and even<br>mediality thus differ from each other in terms of their starting points.<br>From a German national perspective, language remains the main point of<br>description. International, mostly Anglo-Saxon approaches, in contrast, no<br>longer take language as the main semiotic resource of communication but<br>treat it as one more part of the multimodal ensemble carrying meaning.<br>The second edition of the Bremen multimodality conference takes these<br>differences in national and international perspectives as a starting point<br>of discussion and analysis and invites further inquiry into the specific<br>theories and practices of multimodal research today. By making explicit<br>which aspects of description, terminology, and methodology vary and which<br>difficulties result from these variations in daily academic life, it expands<br>the discussion of applicable approaches to multimodal document analysis.<br>Another major goal of the conference remains the active exchange between the<br>cutting edge in international multimodal research and more traditional<br>German humanities, especially within linguistics, media and communication<br>studies. Whereas outside Germany, multimodality is already firmly anchored<br>in BA- and MA-level courses as well as a highly discussed topic in<br>international conferences, its counterpart in Germany is still situated in a<br>small niche within branches of applied linguistics. The 2014 symposium in<br>Bremen uncovered a large potential for multimodality's expansion in the<br>German-speaking context, and the 2015 meeting will keep up with this theme.<br>The multimodal analysis of documents which are not predominantly anchored in<br>verbal text, such as film, comic books, or Web material, offers fruitful<br>ground for international exchange and is, thus, of particular interest to<br>the 2015 conference.<br>We invite papers with high interest in combining empirical analysis with<br>thoughts on theoretical questions about the concept of multimodality.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>Research questions which might be addressed in these papers are:<br><br>How is multimodality defined in the authors' home discipline? What other<br>disciplinary concepts help define multimodality in theory and practice?<br><br>What disciplinary and methodological synergies promote comprehensive<br>multimodal empirical analysis?<br><br>Which terminological specifications or analytical improvements are needed to<br>bring together the concepts which shape multimodality as a theoretical and<br>empirical approach?<br><br><br>APPLICATION<br><br>For a lively and multifaceted discussion, we invite papers of 20-25 minutes<br>followed by discussion of 10-15 minutes from researchers working in all<br>disciplines concerning media analysis (linguistics, literary science, media<br>and communication as well as informatics and computer science). We<br>especially welcome papers which re-examine existing theoretical frameworks<br>and/or which highlight and apply new methodologies that have not been used<br>within the general multimodal context. Abstracts of 300 words must clearly<br>indicate the analytical focus of the paper as well as its connection to the<br>theoretical background.<br>We also explicitly invite students to participate in the conference by<br>presenting an analytical approach as examined in final papers or theses in<br>the poster panel to be organized on the second day of the conference.<br>Please submit your abstract or a short poster description including name,<br>affiliation, and email address to <a href="mailto:bremm15@uni-bremen.de">bremm15@uni-bremen.de</a> before February<br>15th, 2015. All acceptance and rejection notices will be out by the<br>beginning of May.<br></blockquote><br>_______________________________________________<br>sonologia-l mailing list<br><a href="mailto:sonologia-l@listas.unicamp.br">sonologia-l@listas.unicamp.br</a><br><a href="https://www.listas.unicamp.br/mailman/listinfo/sonologia-l">https://www.listas.unicamp.br/mailman/listinfo/sonologia-l</a></div></div></div><br></body></html>
