Abstract Details

2019, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Mass Communication (Communication).
Pasolini en Medellin (PEM) and the PD Narrative Project (PDNP) are two initiatives that work to contest the stigmas of violence and illness through digital storytelling. This dissertation analyzes PEM and PDNP from a visual social semiotics approach to explicate how the use of digital storytelling can renew the semiotic resources of people dwelling in existential crisis, offering possibilities for critique and contestation of stigmas that have been imposed upon them. Visual social semiotics provides a theoretical foundation and a methodological framework for exploring the ongoing process of semiosis that characterizes media research, to explicate how the multimodality of digital storytelling contributes to semiotic invention and semiotic change by developing new semiotic resources (or new ways of using existing semiotic resources). The results show that PEM and the PDNP create new communication spaces in which participants can find a way to re-visit, re-interpret and re-inscribe their own experiences, demonstrating that PEM and the PDNP are compelling sites for understanding how the use of digital storytelling can contribute to re-establish the right to narrate on marginalized communities.
