Public ISBD Titre : Music as Multimodal Discourse: Semiotics, Power and Protest Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lyndon C. S. Way, Auteur Editeur : UK : Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 229 P Format : 234 x 156 mm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-350-07986-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 781 Principes généraux et formes musicales Résumé : We communicate multimodally. Everyday communication involves not only words, but gestures, images, videos, sounds and of course, music. Music has traditionally been viewed as a separate object that we can isolate, discuss, perform and listen to. However, much of music's power lies in its use as multimodal communication. It is not just lyrics which lend songs their meaning, but images and musical sounds as well. The music industry, governments and artists have always relied on posters, films and album covers to enhance music's semiotic meaning.
