“…For example, there is the progressive widening of scope seen in ‘inter-art’ studies of all kinds as these extend from literature into transmediality (Elleström, 2014) and the steady growth of narratology to apply as a means of analysis for films, static visual narratives, computer games and, again, many more (Ryan, 2005; Wolf, 2007). Moreover, whereas these examples all generally reflect an extension away from disciplines with core foci on verbal language, there are also moves within approaches previously focused within static visual depictions, such as art history, to increasingly consider ‘other’ signifying practices, such as the incorporation of (written) language, combinations with music, moving images, as well as more diverse uses of pictorial materials, stretching into traditionally quite distinct areas such as information visualisation and scientific argument (Manghani, 2013). Against this backdrop, we might easily go so far, as Mitchell has famously proclaimed, as to doubt the existence of any ‘purely’ visual media at all (Mitchell, 2005); and, indeed, as Duncum (2004: 258) reminds us, visual culture ‘was never exclusively visual’.…”

In this position statement, I draw broadly on approaches and theories relevant to the phenomena of multimodality to propose some methodological directions for further cycles of development and application. Two apparently opposed goals are accepted and reconciled: on the one hand, increased attention needs to be paid to empirical studies and, on the other, highly exploratory and smaller scale case studies with more conjectural analyses need to be continued and expanded. To achieve an integrative view spanning, both forms of approach, methodological refinements capable of reducing the gap between theoretical metalanguages and larger-scale empirical research are required. Multimodality is consequently reconstrued not as a field of study in its own right, but as a stage of development through which many disciplines naturally pass. Means are then explored for securing access to the various theoretical frameworks and methodological tools disciplines provide by combining new models of disciplinary triangulation with a more finely articulated notion of materiality.

“…Given the overall data collected, our focus turns now to whether any general patterns of layout composition can be identified. Although there is often discussion of ‘visual style’ in the visual arts, in design (see Manghani, 2013; Rose, 2012), in ‘visual genre’ in document design (see Kostelnick, 1996; Kostelnick and Hassett, 2003) and similar, empirical support for such genres or styles is quite underdeveloped. The existence both of an extensively annotated corpus of the kind we adopt here and of a communicative medium in which visual composition is evidently a highly conventionalized and sophisticated aspect of the communications using that medium offers a particularly promising site where visual ‘styles’ or ‘genres’ could be expected to manifest themselves.…”

Page layout is one of the most salient features of graphic novels and comics that readers encounter: even before engaging with specific content, an overall impression of the page composition will have already been communicated. In the critical literature on comics and graphic novels, it is also commonly claimed that page composition plays a significant role for narrative construction, pacing, and other aspects of reception. However, in contrast to this prominence, methods for engaging systematically with the analysis of page design in comics and graphic novels are still in their infancy. Empirical studies of the workings of visual page composition are rarer still. In this article, the authors report results, drawing on a diachronic, corpus-based investigation of page composition that illustrates how it is beneficial to approach page composition employing methods from corpus linguistics and multimodality. They show not only that it is possible to isolate trajectories of change in composition over time but also that such studies can be used to provide evidence of functionally-motivated variation in compositional choices.

Recibido: 7 de noviembre de 2016 / Aceptado: 23 de mayo de 2017 Resumen. En este artículo, nos ocupamos de determinar el grado de adecuación de la representación del conocimiento a la ética periodística cuando se hace uso de imágenes que son el resultado de los hallazgos científicos. Para ello, analizamos la forma de presentar visualmente la información aparecida en prensa, concretamente en el diario El País, en relación al considerado el descubrimiento científico más relevante de los últimos tiempos: el bosón de Higgs. Los resultados de la investigación, muestran la estrategia de representación y comunicación pública del descubrimiento, así como la escasa observancia de los principios éticos mínimos en la práctica periodística en el proceso consolidación del supuesto hallazgo en el imaginario colectivo de la denominada "partícula de Dios". Palabras clave: Investigación científica; periodismo; ética; comunicación pública de la ciencia; representación del conocimiento; imagen; visualización de datos.[en] Public Communication of Science and journalistic ethics. The Representation of the Higgs boson Abstract. In this article, we deal to establish the adequacy degree of knowledge representation to journalistic ethics as the result of scientific findings. To do this, we analyze the visual information appearing in the press, specifically in the newspaper El País, related to the considered the most important scientific discovery of recent times: the Higgs boson. The results show the particular strategy of representation and public communication of the discovery, and the poor observance of minimum ethical principles in journalistic practice during the process of cultural consolidation of the discovery of the so-called "God particle".
