Document Summary

Comprised of a multiplicity of different forms of remembering: those are intentional and communicable through language, and narrative, as well those which are unintentional and inherently non narrative such as embodied forms of memory. Explores the design of discourse by investigating the contributions of different semiotic resources (gestures, language) co-deployed across various modalities (visual, somatic) as well as their interaction and integration in constructing a coherent text. First media literacy: language is necessarily a temporally, sequentially, organized mode, the visual by contrast is a spatially and simultaneously organized mode. Second multisemiotic experience: observes people in everyday life; facial features, gestures, expression, stance, and clothing. First dimension: media literacy sensitized to the meaning potential and choices afforded in the production of the text, rendering an enhanced ability to make deliberate and effective choices in the construction and presentation of knowledge.
