Using a multimodal discourse analysis approach, this dynamic collection examines various discourses, modes and media in circulation during the early stages of the pandemic, and how these have impacted our daily lives in terms of the various meanings they express. Examples include how national and international news organisations communicate important information about the virus and the crisis, the public’s reactions to such communications, the resultant (counter-)discourses as manifested in social media posts and memes, as well as the impact social distancing policies and mobility restrictions have had on people’s communication and interaction practices. The book offers a synoptic view of how the pandemic was communicated, represented and (re-)contextualised across different spheres, and ultimately hopes to help account for the significant changes we are continuing to witness in our everyday lives as the pandemic unfolds. This volume will appeal primarily to scholars in the field of (multimodal) discourse analysis. It will also be of interest to researchers and graduate students in other fields whose work focuses on the use of multimodal artefacts for communication and meaning making. 2022-09-22T09:28:11Z 2022-09-22T09:28:11Z 2022 book 9780367767075 9780367767099 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58508 eng Routledge Studies in Multimodality application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781000772371.pdf http://www.routledge.com Taylor & Francis Routledge 10.4324/9781003168195 10.4324/9781003168195 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9780367767075 9780367767099 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Routledge 292 Knowledge Unlatched open access
