Mar 6: Kress & Multimodal Orchestrations & Case Study #3
Hi Folks,
We'll begin with this animated version of Roman Krznarik's Royal Society of the Arts Lecture, "Outrospection," consider its arguments, then try to determine whether Kress's approach to "modes" or "multimodality" can contribute to Krznarik's outrospective vision/ideal. In a way, this demand to "step outside ourselves" places unique demands on discourse and text. Let's explore the demands and see what we discover.
I'll also introduce our third case study -- stills from Joe Sacco's Palestine -- and we'll begin to discuss how we might formulate an "ethic of looking" for textual study.
As we begin this new unit, I'm hoping we can begin articulating a transnational rhetorical (TRN) approach to textual and imagistic study, though it may take a few class sessions before we are fully ready to do so.
More soon,
-Prof. Graban
