Transmedial Reading
No full textThis chapter explores the category of transmedial reading, referring to reading experiences that go beyond a single text and are related to bigger fictional universes. Through an empirical reading case of a comic book, it argues that reading in transmedial environments is always multiple. Readers interpret the text in relation to a whole ecology of related media products set in the same fictional world. How does the new text fit the worldness that readers have built up through years of engagement? What kinds of relations are established, and how is the reader’s own affect activated in relation to a set of personal memories? The chapter proposes a transmedial reading interview method based on the author´s own theoretical framework.This chapter explores the category of transmedial reading, referring to reading experiences that go beyond a single text and are related to bigger fictional universes.

Digital reading in education:a situated disciplinary literacies perspective
No full textThis chapter argues that the notion of digital reading in education has expanded. Teaching and learning of reading and writing comprise multiple contextual practices of perceiving and producing meaning with different technologies and in different forms of multimodal representation and communication. Exploring this point from a situated disciplinary perspective, it is demonstrated how digital disciplinary literacies are emerging in the school subject language arts/L1. A main finding is that what is regarded as digital reading in L1 depends on what counts as disciplinary literacy practices within the school subject, and what counts as digital reading in L1 is limited and should be contested
Rhythm and Balance in Sculpture and Poetry
No full textRhythm might stand for the contrast between balance and movement, rest and conflict, in a piece of art. In this paper, we show that rhythm works as an organizing power as well as a producer of meaning. Both characteristics relate to the fact that rhythms activate internalized bodily experiences. Lena Hopsch has the perspective of producing art, and Eva Lilja forwards the perspective of academic reception analysis. The concept of rhythm is basic in all forms of art. It is common in descriptions of music, poetry, sculpture and painting. Sometimes rhythm seems to be too broad a concept to really tell anything important about a piece of art. Certainly there is need for a definition. Here, we explore aesthetic rhythm as a tool for a better understanding of two art forms: sculpture and poetry. We consider rhythm as a form of perception that governs both the experience and the production of artifacts. Our tool is cognitive theory, especially the field of embodiment research
