This book examines the materiality of writing. It adopts a
multimodal approach to argue that writing as we know it is only a
small part of the myriad gestures we make, practices we engage in,
and media we use in the process of trace-making. Taking a broad
view of the act of writing, the volume features contributions from
both established and up-and-coming scholars from around the world
and incorporates a range of methodological and theoretical
perspectives, from fields such as linguistics, philosophy,
psychology of perception, design, and semiotics. This
interdisciplinary framework allows readers to see the relationships
between writing and other forms of "trace-making", including
architectural drawings, graphic shapes, and commercial logos, and
between writing and reading, with a number of illustrations
highlighting the visual data used in the forms and studies
discussed. The book also looks forward to the future, discussing
digital media and new technology and their implications for
trace-making. This pioneering volume will be of interest to
scholars and researchers in multimodality, literacy, cognitive
neuroscience, design theory, discourse analysis, and applied
linguistics.
