What a line can say : Investigating the semiotic potential of the connecting line in data visualizations
2020
The line is a graphical element widely used in data visualizations, its purpose often being to signal a connection between other visual elements. Based on social semiotic theory, this article investigates what semiotic functions connecting lines can have and how these functions can be related to variations in form. The results show that, in addition to the basic function of connecting elements, such lines can also indicate the level of certainty, direct the viewer to read the information either as a narrative or a conceptual claim, indicate patterns of cohesion, and regulate the viewer’s position. These findings allow for further empirical research on the formation of visual conventions.

Seernes opplevelse av nettbaserte gudstjenester
2021
Author's accepted manuscript. When the corona pandemic became a fact, many parishes within the Church of Norway chose to start video streaming of services as a substitute for gatherings in the church. This article is based on a survey done among viewers of these broadcasts and sheds light on how online worship services were received. The findings from the survey show that the viewers value recognizability and authenticity, but at the same time expect the service to be adapted to the medium since the situation of viewing on a screen is quite different from being in a church.
Fake news on Facebook and their impact on supply chain disruption during COVID-19
2022
AbstractSocial media (SM) fake news has become a serious concern especially during COVID-19. In this study, we develop a research model to investigate to what extent SM fake news contributes to supply chain disruption (SCD), and what are the different SM affordances that contribute to SM fake news. To test the derived hypotheses with survey data, we have applied partial least square based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique. Further, to identify how different configurations of SC resilience (SCR) capabilities reduce SCD, we have used fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The results show that SM affordances lead to fake news, which increases consumer panic buying…

From decoding a graph to processing a multimodal message: Interacting with data visualization in the news media
2020
Abstract Data visualisation – in the forms of graphs, charts, and maps – represents a text type growing in prevalence and impact in many cultural domains; education, journalism, business, PR, and more. Research on data visualisation reception is scarce, particularly that related to interactive and dynamic forms of data visualisation in digital media. Taking an approach inspired by grounded theory, in this article I investigate the ways in which young students interact with data visualisations found in digital news media. Combining observations from reading sessions with ten in-depth interviews, I investigate how the informants read, interpreted, and responded emotionally to data visualisati…

Visuell identitet : En sosialsemiotisk analyse av hvordan utdanningsinstitusjoners identitet kommer til uttrykk gjennom institusjonenes logo og netts…
2017
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon KOM500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Formålet med denne oppgaven er å belyse hvordan identitet kan analyseres som sosialsemiotikk og hvordan identitet kan uttrykkes gjennom semiotiske ressurser. Ved å studere et utvalg tekster knyttet til utdanningsinstitusjoner vil jeg komme frem til svar på problemstillingen “hva slags identitet kommuniserer universiteter og høyskoler gjennom kombinasjon av ulike visuelle elementer?”. Dette krever ett nærmere blikk på begrepet identitet, samt hvilke samfunnsmessige krav som stilles til utdanningsinstitusjoner. Med sosialsemiotikkens perspektiver gjør jeg en analyse av et utvalg nettsider og logoer for å se på hvilke meni…

2017
Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon KOM500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Denne masteroppgaven er en retorisk analyse av Barack Obama og Donald Trumps innsettelsestaler. En innsettelsestale er den første offisielle talen den nyvalgte presidenten fremfører for folket, og er en særegen sjanger i seg selv, siden den tar sikte på å forene folket etter en lang valgkamp. Formålet med oppgaven er å finne ut hvilke retoriske strategier Barack Obama og Donald Trump bruker for å overbevise sitt publikum, og hvordan de lykkes med innsettelsestalens formål. Oppgaven baserer seg på teori vedrørende retorikk og innsettelsestalens epideiktiske sjangerbeskrivelse, noe som danner rammeverket for oppbyggingen …
