> BreMM15: Second International Symposium on the Theory and Practice of
> Multimodal Research Interdisciplinary Conference at Bremen University,
> Germany, September 21-22, 2015
> 
> Multimodality is one of the most influential semiotic theories for analyzing
> media artefacts nowadays, and it enjoys growing popularity globally.
> However, this popularity does not imply universality: the empirical
> application and even the conceptual anchoring of multimodality often remain
> nationally and regionally grounded. Definitions of modality and even
> mediality thus differ from each other in terms of their starting points.
> From a German national perspective, language remains the main point of
> description. International, mostly Anglo-Saxon approaches, in contrast, no
> longer take language as the main semiotic resource of communication but
> treat it as one more part of the multimodal ensemble carrying meaning.
> The second edition of the Bremen multimodality conference takes these
> differences in national and international perspectives as a starting point
> of discussion and analysis and invites further inquiry into the specific
> theories and practices of multimodal research today. By making explicit
> which aspects of description, terminology, and methodology vary and which
> difficulties result from these variations in daily academic life, it expands
> the discussion of applicable approaches to multimodal document analysis.
> Another major goal of the conference remains the active exchange between the
> cutting edge in international multimodal research and more traditional
> German humanities, especially within linguistics, media and communication
> studies. Whereas outside Germany, multimodality is already firmly anchored
> in BA- and MA-level courses as well as a highly discussed topic in
> international conferences, its counterpart in Germany is still situated in a
> small niche within branches of applied linguistics. The 2014 symposium in
> Bremen uncovered a large potential for multimodality's expansion in the
> German-speaking context, and the 2015 meeting will keep up with this theme.
> The multimodal analysis of documents which are not predominantly anchored in
> verbal text, such as film, comic books, or Web material, offers fruitful
> ground for international exchange and is, thus, of particular interest to
> the 2015 conference.
> We invite papers with high interest in combining empirical analysis with
> thoughts on theoretical questions about the concept of multimodality. 
> Research questions which might be addressed in these papers are:
> 
> How is multimodality defined in the authors' home discipline? What other
> disciplinary concepts help define multimodality in theory and practice?
> 
> What disciplinary and methodological synergies promote comprehensive
> multimodal empirical analysis?
> 
> Which terminological specifications or analytical improvements are needed to
> bring together the concepts which shape multimodality as a theoretical and
> empirical approach?
> 
> 
> APPLICATION
> 
> For a lively and multifaceted discussion, we invite papers of 20-25 minutes
> followed by discussion of 10-15 minutes from researchers working in all
> disciplines concerning media analysis (linguistics, literary science, media
> and communication as well as informatics and computer science). We
> especially welcome papers which re-examine existing theoretical frameworks
> and/or which highlight and apply new methodologies that have not been used
> within the general multimodal context. Abstracts of 300 words must clearly
> indicate the analytical focus of the paper as well as its connection to the
> theoretical background.
> We also explicitly invite students to participate in the conference by
> presenting an analytical approach as examined in final papers or theses in
> the poster panel to be organized on the second day of the conference.
> Please submit your abstract or a short poster description including name,
> affiliation, and email address to bremm15 em uni-bremen.de before February
> 15th, 2015. All acceptance and rejection notices will be out by the
> beginning of May.
