How are particular transliteral forms created?
Analysis of - tools and methods
- structures and forms of outputs- types of productive communication, collaboration; 'creativity'?
and/or
Why are particular transliteral forms created?
- Social, economic, political and cultural analyses of production

Transliteracy as Multimodality
The slide on transliteracy as multimodality used several reveals to demonstrate multimodality in action. Problems with embedding mean that we have had to split the original single slide into several different ones.

Transliteracy as Multimodality
• With the digital environment in mind (as an obvious example but not limited to it):
• We need to know how to read• Text
• Sound
• Images
• Video
• Haptics (interaction)

Transliteracy as Multimodality
Clicking on “FLIES” changes the view through the window to show a flurry of flies.

Musical Transliteracies
‘Literate’ musicians read 5-line lattice notation, whereas ‘illiterate’ musicians (the majority) do not
Digital musicians work directly with sounds (rather than notes) whereas traditional musicians work with instruments (including the voice)
Some musicians start from pitch (e.g. classical, folk)Some musicians start from rhythm (e.g. rock, pop)Some musicians start from timbre (e.g. electronic, technological)In digital music, though, it doesn’t matter where you start!Transliteracies of style, practice, culture, techniques…

Transliteracy
• Cross-discipline research needs common vocabulary with clear grounding
• Especially true for human-centred activity– Humanities & Natural Science
• Examples– Design, Creativity, Innovation, Invention– Interactivity– Context
• Applications– Digital Human & Artificial Life
