title = "Everyday acts of social-semiotic inquiry: insights into emerging practices from the research collective PanMeMic",
abstract = "The chapter presents the results of a participatory analysis conducted in the collaborative research initiative PanMeMic: Communication and Interaction in the Pandemic and beyond. It analyses a sample of exchanges that took place on the PanMeMic social media spaces. Designed to understand the dynamics of sharing and co-constructing semiotic knowledge in a time of radical changes in communication, the analytical framework integrates social semiotics with key principles of citizen sociolinguistics (Rymes, 2021), ethnography and van Leeuwen{\textquoteright}s (2008) framework for analysing legitimation in discourse. Findings show people{\textquoteright}s role as socio-semioticians themselves, in not only creating but also observing, describing, labelling, supporting or opposing, and legitimating and negotiating semiotic practices and thereby co-creating semiotic knowledge. They also reveal the potential of an engaged, participatory approach to research on multimodality to open spaces for forms of collective inquiry towards social change.",
