A Semiotics of Multimodality and Signification in the Divine Comedy Hardback
by Raffaele De Benedictis
Part of the Routledge Studies in Medieval Literature and Culture series
Hardback
Description
A new critical method for the Divine Comedy which focuses not only on language-as-writing but also and equally on other discursive modes that the Divine Comedy authorizes.
Multimodality was already present in Dante’s time, and the reception of the Divine Comedy took place multimodally.
Thus, a theoretical study of multimodality carried out under the semiotic lens sheds light on how and why a mode is more effective than another and/or how they may combine in producing signification and new ontologies warranted by Dante’s text.
Also, we do not yet have a critical theory that allows us to understand the function of multimodality for the creation of new forms of signification and of clarifying the ontological boundaries set forth by different modalities.
It is a new and original study which contributes to the advancement of Dante Studies, Literary Criticism (with a focus on literary semiotics), Multimedia/Multiliteracy, philosophy of language, communication, and education.
