This collection explores the mediation of a wide range of processes, texts, and practices in contemporary digital environments through the lens of a multimodal theory of communication.Bringing together contributions from renowned scholars in the field, the book builds on the notion that any form of digital communication inherently presents a rich combination of different semiotic modes and resources as a jumping-off point from which to critically reflect on digital mediation from three different perspectives. The first section looks at social and semiotic practices and the implications of their mediation on artistic production, cultural heritage, and commerce. The second part of the volume focuses on dynamics of awareness, cognition, and identity formation in participants to digitally-mediated communicative processes. The book’s final section considers the impact of mediation on shaping new and different types of textualities and genres in digital spaces.The book will be of particular interest to scholars, researchers and students in multimodality, digital communication, social semiotics, and media studies.

“Mediation and Multimodal Meaning Making in Digital Environments offers a comprehensive and exciting multimodal exploration of how knowledge, representation and practices are digitally mediated. It maps this complex landscape through a wide range of studies by leading experts in the field and new voices within multimodality to engage with a diversity of texts (from paintings to art museum websites), genres as well as questions of how digital mediation shapes identities and cognition.” – Carey Jewitt, UCL- Institute of Education (IOE), London (UK)“What a fantastic and timely contribution to multimodal studies! This book provides fresh and engaging perspectives on the digital mediation of knowledge, practices and genres in a wide range of areas, from artistic production and cultural heritage to commerce and healthcare.” – David Machin, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou (China)
