In grappling with these concerns, this research finds resonance with a multimodal social semiotic approach that acknowledges the interest, agency and resourcefulness of students as meaning-makers in both accessing and challenging dominant educational discourses. This research involves a case study of a design project in a first-year landscape architectural studio. The project requires students to choose a narrative and to represent it as a spatial model: a scaled, 3D maquette of a spatial experience that could be installed in a public park. This practitioner reflection closely analyses the spatial model of one student, Malibongwe, focusing on his interest in meaning-making; the innovative meaning-making practices and diverse resources he draws on; and his expression of spatial signifiers of the Black experiences portrayed in his narrative. This reflection shows how Malibongwe’s narrative is not only reproduced in the spatial model, it is remade: the transformation of resources into three-dimensional spatial form results in new understandings and the production of new meanings.","PeriodicalId":134431,"journal":{"name":"Multimodality & Society","volume":"108 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120971213","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}

I attend to the implications of some of the various ways in which we are retraining ourselves to inhabit the world in relation to breath. I highlight the limits of fixed-distance models of social distancing, proposing instead the “coronasphere” as an alternative paradigm for perceiving the changing shapes of the body in terms of the breath, and argue for the urgent choreographic potential of both finding and analyzing public movement on that sensory basis. Being able to carry out my job from home suggests that my body’s labor is deemed nonessential in this moment. Yet, as part of that majority “yet-to-be infected” population (Huat, 2006), I am responsible for moving in public as though I could be exposed or expose others. Comparing the 6-foot negotiations by passersby on the street to a pedestrian dance, one dance critic pointed out that “If this pandemic is teaching us anything, it is that we need to return to our bodies” (Kourlas, 2020). As the pandemic redefines the extent of our bodies by the range of our breath, it changes how we choreograph public movement. It may look like there is more distance between people than usual, but it feels like the matter of my body and that of others have expanded. I sense each stranger in terms of how close my air might come to touching them and vice versa. Indirect spatial pathways are the new normal, as we each step sideways, allowing the particles of our respective breath to become entangled between us as they fall to the ground. Someone passing within what used to be a reasonable amount of personal space is now threatening.","PeriodicalId":134431,"journal":{"name":"Multimodality & Society","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121772700","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}

Touch is the first meaning we use and can be considered our first language. It is the most sophisticated of the five senses. Our skin reacts to the world, before we become aware, sweating, blushing, drying . . . Our bodies retract and our biology contracts, when we are deprived of touch. At the limit, we depress, we get sick with the lack of contact. Seeing is a way of touching at a distance, but it is through touching that we verify and confirm reality. Touch attests to the existence of an objective reality. At a time when touching represents the enemy, our parasympathetic system is now activated, during gestures that previously so reassured us—closeness, touch, hug . . . and the notion of the limit of our body fades without the boundaries defined by contact with the other. At the limit, like time, I use film making to imagine how our anatomy may change due to the predominance of a digital touch. This essay presents three films through which I speculate on how as a result of profound synesthetic transformations resulting from a growing intimacy with technology, we may see a metamorphosis of the “archaeology” of the body. The prevalence of the use of certain fingers (for scroll, swipe, pinch . . . ) in contact with touch interfaces, to the detriment of the use of the whole hand in a more humanized relationship, is just one example of what I playfully speculate may lead to mutations (Figure 1). There is a possibility arising, then, that what we gradually begin to feel, on a conscious or unconscious level, is the need to reconfigure touch, as we know it. To rethink tactility is to reposition our perception toward what surrounds us, which implies the","PeriodicalId":134431,"journal":{"name":"Multimodality & Society","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134021809","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}
