Visual Communication is proud to announce its third Early Career Research Scholarship
Myth, space, and the politics of heritage
Responding to calls for non-Western perspectives in critical heritage studies, this paper examines how national identity is constructed through museum discourse in China. Through a Barthesian mythological analysis of the Tianfu Art Museum (TAM), this research unpacks the semiological processes through which state-aligned ideologies become naturalized. The study identifies three interconnected operations – cultural nationalism, participatory natio…
Centering multimodality
While museums have always been multimodal in and of themselves, and while museum studies have long engaged with different modalities in the museum (exhibition design, visitor movement, etc.), a comprehensive understanding of museums as ‘multimodal constellations’ has been missing. This was certainly the case in the 1990s, particularly for linguistics as a discipline, in which language was likely to be viewed as an isolated, and primary, form of c…

History, materiality and social practice
This article explores the challenge of incorporating longer historical time frames into a social semiotic understanding of meaning-making. We focus on museums as complex, multimodal assemblages, and trace the distinct trajectory of museums and their development in China. We illustrate the key differentiating stages of museums in China, and focus on the contemporary Chengdu Tianfu Art Museum (hereby TAM), as a case study exemplifying the intertwin…
Ode to a lost icon, David Jones
The dramatic impact of online shopping on ‘bricks and mortar’ retail is well known, and large, well-established department stores have been no exception. This article provides a case study of one department store, ‘David Jones’ in Sydney, which has been a long-term feature of the retail landscape in Australia. This store’s embodiment of glamour and service has come to define David Jones as an institution, but the affordances of the conventional d…

Multimodality and the register of disciplinary History
While many aspects of disciplinary communication have been effectively illuminated by systemic functional linguistics, the ‘multimodal’ turn of communication requires some rethinking of old frameworks. In academic disciplines such as History, recent epistemological changes further highlight this need. From animations used by primary school students to doctoral theses, this paper draws on the systemic functional notion of register to explore how m…

Modality in the digital age
Kress and Van Leeuwen’s book Reading Images: The Grammar of Visual Design (2006[1996]) provides a robust framework for describing modality in visual texts. However, in the digital age, familiar markers of modality are being creatively reconfigured. New technological affordances, including new modes of production, multiple platforms for distribution, and increased user control of modal variables, raise questions about the role of modality in conte…
Visual communication
Extending the notion of ‘text’
Doctoral writing in the visual and performing arts poses many challenges for the academy, not the least of which is accounting for the possible relations which can hold between the written and creative/performed components of a doctoral thesis in these fields. This article proposes that the interrelations between the two components in doctoral submissions of this kind can be theorized as being on a continuum of interrelations, with a number of ke…
Doctoral writing in the visual and performing arts
Doctoral degrees in the visual and performing arts are a fairly recent entrant in the research higher degree landscape in Australian universities. At the same time, a new kind of doctorate is evolving, a doctorate in which significant aspects of the claim for the doctoral characteristics of originality, mastery and contribution to the field are demonstrated through an original creative work. A substantial written contextualization is also general…

Grammatical Metaphor
Since the 1980s, metaphor has received much attention in linguistics in general. Within Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) the area of 'grammatical metaphor' has become increasingly more important. This volume aims to raise and debate problematic issues in the study of lexico-grammatical metaphor, and to foreground the potential of further study in the field. There is a need to highlight the SFL perspective on metaphor; other traditions focus …
