What is
Multimodality? How would you define Modes? What is the tension between Kress
and Wysocki’s view of multimodality? Pay attention to how the two treat time
and space here
Technically
speaking, multimodality “is an
inter-disciplinary approach that understands communication and representation
to be more than about language.” In much easier and other terms, multimodality
is the bringing together or different modes to preach a certain idea or
thought. Modes are the certain ways that points are made to a set of people. The
information is the same in different modes, it is how a person presents the information.
A poster verses a powerpoint, a video verses a song, etc. Kress states his
information using multiple modes for the audience while Wysocki uses one or
two. I like Kress’s way better because all people learn and interpret
information differently. There are visual learners and digital learns and so
on. Using multiple modes will appeal to all kinds of people.
