A Multimodal Perspective on Applied Storytelling Performances: Narrativity in Context (Routledge Studies in Multimodality)
by Soe Marlar LwinIn this volume, Soe Marlar Lwin proposes a contextualized multimodal framework that brings together storytelling practitioners’ and academic researchers’ conceptions of storytelling. It aims to highlight the ways in which various institutions in contemporary society have been using live storytelling performances as an effective communicative, educative and meaning-making tool. Drawing on theories of narrative from narratology as well as from related fields such as discourse analysis, multimodal analysis, communication and performance studies, the author proposes a contextualized multimodal framework to (a) uncover the potential narrativity of a live storytelling performance through an analysis of narrative elements constituting the story, (b) capture the process of developing actual narrativity through a multimodal analysis of performance features in the storytelling discourse, and (c) highlight the importance of context and dynamics between the storyteller and audience for an achievement of optimal narrativity in a particular storytelling event. The sample analysis shows how the framework not only describes the system governing institutionalized storytelling performances in general but also serves as a useful model to examine individual performance as a unique realization of the general system. The book also offers implications for possible applications of such contextualized multimodal frameworks more broadly across the disciplines.
Multimodal Sentiment Analysis (Socio-Affective Computing #8)
by Soujanya Poria Amir Hussain Erik CambriaThis latest volume in the series, Socio-Affective Computing, presents a set of novel approaches to analyze opinionated videos and to extract sentiments and emotions. Textual sentiment analysis framework as discussed in this book contains a novel way of doing sentiment analysis by merging linguistics with machine learning. Fusing textual information with audio and visual cues is found to be extremely useful which improves text, audio and visual based unimodal sentiment analyzer. This volume covers the three main topics of: textual preprocessing and sentiment analysis methods; frameworks to process audio and visual data; and methods of textual, audio and visual features fusion. The inclusion of key visualization and case studies will enable readers to understand better these approaches. Aimed at the Natural Language Processing, Affective Computing and Artificial Intelligence audiences, this comprehensive volume will appeal to a wide readership and will help readers to understand key details on multimodal sentiment analysis.

Multimodality in the Built Environment: Spatial Discourse Analysis (Routledge Studies in Multimodality)
by Louise J. Ravelli Robert J. McmurtrieThis book provides an extended exploration of the multimodal analysis of spatial (three-dimensional) texts of the built environment, culminating in a holistic approach termed Spatial Discourse Analysis (SpDA). Based on existing frameworks frameworks of multimodal analysis, this book applies, adapts, and extends these frameworks to spatial texts. The authors argue that choices in spatial design create meanings about what we perceive and how we can or should behave, influence how we feel in and about those spaces, and enable these texts to function as coherent wholes. Importantly, a spatial text, once built, is also a resource which is then used, and an essential aspect of understanding these texts is to consider what users themselves contribute to the meaning potential of these texts. The book takes the metafunctional approach familiar from Systemic-Functional Linguistics (SFL) and foregrounds each metafunction in turn (textual, interpersonal, experiential, and logical), in relation to the detailed analysis of a particular spatial text.
Multimodular Origami Polyhedra: Archimedeans, Buckyballs and Duality
by Rona Gurkewitz Bennett ArnsteinContinuing the groundbreaking work of their previous two books, the mathematician and mechanical engineer authors of this volume further strengthen the link between origami and mathematics -- and expand the relationship to crystallography. Through a series of photographs, diagrams, and charts, they illustrate the correlation between the origami waterbomb base and the mathematical duality principle of Archimedean solids. Then, they show how to apply the correlation to models of the buckyball (a carbon-60 molecule resembling a soccer ball, named for R. Buckminster Fuller, designer of the geodesic dome). By the process of gyroscope transformation, origamists can transform buckyballs into more new and interesting shapes. Step-by-step instructions and clear diagrams show origami enthusiasts how to create a world of multifaceted wonders.
Multinationals and European Integration: Trade, Investment and Regional Development (Regions and Cities)
by Nicholas A. PhelpsThis book examines the role of the multinational firms in processes of European integration. It is primarily concerned with the implications of market integration and industrial restructuring for peripheral European regions. Nicholas Phelps argues that, because of the complex relationship between competition and economies of scale, the persistence of market segmentation, and because of the embeddedness of multinational investment in established production locations, there is considerable inertia in the existing trade and investment patterns of multinationals in the EU. This argument is explored empirically in relation to multinationals operating in Wales. This study suggests that processes of restructuring accompanying market integration are slow to take effect and based on a diversity of motives.

Multiplatform Media in Mexico: Growth and Change Since 2010
by Paul Julian SmithMultiplatform Media in Mexico is the first book to treat the exciting, interconnected fields of cinema, television, and internet in Mexico over the last decade, fields that combine to be called multiplatform media. Combining industrial analysis of a major audiovisual field at a time of growth and change with close readings of significant texts on all screens, acclaimed author Paul Julian Smith deftly details these new audiovisual trends. The book includes perspectives on local reporting on the ground, as covered in the chapter documenting media response to the 2017 earthquake. And, for the first time in this field, the book draws throughout on star studies, tracing the distinct profiles of actors who migrate from one medium to another. As a whole, Smith’s analyses illustrate the key movements in screen media in one of the world’s largest media and cultural producing nations. These perspectives connect to and enrich scholarship across Latin American, North American, and global cases.

Multiple Epochisierungen: Literatur und Bildende Kunst 1500–1800
by Klaus W. Hempfer Valeska Von RosenEntgegen einer pauschalen Kritik an den Epochenbegriffen diskutieren die Beiträge des vorliegenden Bandes historische und systematische Bedingungen der Möglichkeit von Epochisierungen. Unterschiedliche sozio-kulturelle Systeme werfen unterschiedliche Fragen auf. Als Literatur- und Kunstwissenschaftler/innen gehen die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger von Problemkomplexen ihrer jeweiligen Disziplinen aus, rekurrieren für Lösungsansätze aber auch auf das Theorieangebot anderer historischer Disziplinen wie der Geschichtswissenschaft im Allgemeinen oder der Wissenschaftsgeschichte im Besonderen. - Insgesamt ergibt sich, dass die berechtigte Kritik an der spezifischen Faktur spezifischer Epochisierungen weder aus systematischen noch historischen Gründen den generellen Verzicht auf Epochisierungen nahelegt. Solange kein konsistentes Gegenmodell vorliegt, kann es nur darum gehen, Epochentheorie allgemein und Theorien der jeweiligen Einzelepochen im Zusammenhang zu optimieren.
