Abstract:

While ideology has been treated widely in CDA-literature, the role playedby the interaction of text and image in multiplying meaning and furtheringideological stances has not so far received a lot of attention.Mediating Ideology in Text and Image offers a number of approaches to suchanalysis, offering students and academics valuable tools for identifyingpossible discrepancies between the world and the way it is representedthrough various mediational means. The authors' common aim is one ofassisting the audience in reading between the lines, thus offering avariety of approaches that may contribute to a better understanding of howideologies possibly work and how they may be denaturalised from text andimage.

The articles in part I look at rethorical strategies used in meaningconstruction processes unfolding in various kinds of mass media. Part IIfocuses on the re-semiotization of meaning and looks at how analysing thecombination of text and image may contribute to a better understanding ofideological processes brought about by multimodal resources. Foreword byRuth Wodak.
