The Semiotics of Emoji
Shortlisted for the BAAL Book Prize 2017 Emoji have gone from being virtually unknown to being a central topic in internet communication. What is behind the rise and rise of these winky faces, clinking glasses and smiling poos? Given the sheer variety of verbal communication on the internet and English's still-controversial role as lingua mundi for the web, these icons have emerged as a compensatory universal language. The Semiotics of Emoji looks at what is officially the world's fastest-growing form of communication. Emoji, the colourful symbols and glyphs that represent everything from frowning disapproval to red-faced shame, are fast becoming embedded into digital communication. Controlled by a centralized body and regulated across the web, emoji seems to be a language: but is it? The rapid adoption of emoji in such a short span of time makes it a rich study in exploring the functions of language. Professor Marcel Danesi, an internationally-known expert in semiotics, branding and communication, answers the pertinent questions. Are emoji making us dumber? Can they ultimately replace language? Will people grow up emoji literate as well as digitally native? Can there be such a thing as a Universal Visual Language? Read this book for the answers.

The Interactive Documentary in Canada
Interactive documentary emerged rapidly from a constellation of
changing technologies and practices to much excitement, yet its
history is short and its future uncertain. In the mid-2010s Canada
was a world leader in the creation of i-docs. Less than a decade
later technological obsolescence has rendered many of these
celebrated projects inaccessible, while rapid digital innovation
continues to change the i-doc form and its modes of experience.
The Interactive Documentary in Canada captures this
transitional moment in documentary filmmaking and media production.
Bringing together a range of historical, theoretical, and critical
approaches, this collection examines the past - and the imagined
future - of a nonfiction storytelling phenomenon that has Canadian
institutions, figures, and works at its centre. Embracing a
polyphonic conception of interactive documentary, the volume
includes explorations of web-based, app-based, installation, and
virtual reality works that push the boundaries of what is
understood as documentary cinema. Leading documentary scholars and
makers consider the historical and technological contexts of i-doc
production, innovation, and exhibition; the political and
pedagogical potential of the genre; the ethics of the i‐doc
experience; and the format's future lifespan in the contemporary
media landscape.
The Interactive Documentary in Canada establishes a
place for the i-doc in the history of Canadian film, highlighting
the genre's significant impact on the National Film Board of Canada
and on contemporary global documentary media.
