This book uses Global StoryBridges, a project which brings together young people learning English in low-income or under-resourced communities through the producing and sharing of stories about their lives and localities, to examine semiotics and meaning-making in transmodal communications. Through the lens of transpositioning – the multiple and interwoven layers of positioning that are entailed in communications which cross and transcend the boundaries which have historically shaped our thinking about the world and its inhabitants – the chapters interrogate how communication shapes identities, belongings and the relationships it forges, with particular attention paid to issues of equity and social justice. The chapter authors also address methodological issues in researching transglobal transmodal communication.
