Communication, Meaning-Making, and Learning in the Work of Gunther Kress
Herausgeber: Böck, Margit; Pachler, Norbert

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Gunther Kress, one of the founders of social semiotics and multimodality, has made lasting contributions to these fields through his work in semiotics and meaning-making; power and identity; agency, design, production; pedagogy and learning; and sites of transformation. This book brings together leading scholars in a variety of disciplines to examine and build upon his work. Not only do the individual contributions to the book pick up the threads of the often collaborative work of the authors with Kress, but they show how these approaches were subsequently developed and discuss what future trajectories the authors see for them.
