The project sought to produce a prototype that made touch contact with the skin via patterns of vibration effects. This was achieved by creating a circuit with a haptic motor controller, microprocessor, vibration motor and battery. Contained in two bracelets, the technology was used in a series of workshops enabling participants to explore passive digital touch as stimuli for creative movement. By implementing embodied methods to gather qualitative data, I was able to combine my own embodied participation with movement analysis (Laban Movement Analysis) and the participants’ perceptions of the experience. Codes identified from the transcribed interviews and fieldnotes were collated into a matrix with the movement analysis and then thematically analysed, revealing that the experience of repeated touch stimuli marked the continuum of consciousness and facilitated a reference point, creating a heightened awareness or foci for the moving body. I propose that this process disrupts the boundary of the body and plays a significant role in recalibrating the dancers’ kinaesthesia.","PeriodicalId":134431,"journal":{"name":"Multimodality & Society","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134114398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such an understanding requires using various complementary methodologies to observe, record, visualise and interpret visitors’ movement options. This paper is a systematic review of some long-standing methodologies and analytical tools developed within the field of visitor studies and spatial syntax as well as recent ones engendered from theories and concepts of wayfinding, Systemic Functional Linguistics, film and perception. The selected methodologies proved useful in a larger empirical study to account for the dynamic aspect of visitors’ movement patterns in exhibition space. While previous methodologies demonstrated that the placement of objects, particularly labels, influences movement patterns, newer methodologies elucidated that many movement options are not selected by the visitor, resulting in distorted views of artworks. The findings in this paper may have practical implications for curators, who might reconsider their curatorial designs to enable more movement choices and avoid these distortions, and for spatial discourse analysts, who may use some of the methodologies to undertake a finer-grained analysis of the built-environment, one which includes observing users’ movement patterns in relation to seeing.","PeriodicalId":134431,"journal":{"name":"Multimodality & Society","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114342536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although political and structural determinants of protest are readily acknowledged, social actors who comprise protest events are rarely centralised within scholarly inquiry. The particularities of protests are thus less considered than the structural issues underlying protests. We therefore argue that studying the multimodality of cultural production within protests affords researchers insight into the socially embedded nature of protest from the perspective of protester as a social actor. When we understand culture as continually being remade with and against different semiotic repertoires, then protest comes to signify a series of dynamic moments wherein cultural meanings are deployed for political purposes. Accordingly, we explore protest in South Africa by examining how the cultural practices of stick-fighting, dance, and song are navigated within the protest as a politico-affective space. Our analysis of cultural production within this space does not diminish the fundamentally political nature of protest, but instead uses cultural registers to expand how we engage the political. We conclude by reflecting on how multimodal considerations push protest research to explore the internal dynamics of protests and what this means for the understanding of protests more generally.","PeriodicalId":134431,"journal":{"name":"Multimodality & Society","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130660018","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
