Ethnographers from across the humanities and social sciences have recently experimented with multimodal forms of description, analysis and intervention in order to grasp slippery research objects, reach new audiences, and activate latent potentials for a broad range of actions in the world. This multimodal turn has resulted in a proliferation of more-than-textual forms that are hard to classify and are at odds with institutionalised modes of disciplinary knowledge production. Despite the important openings created by multimodal works, they are rarely seen in academia as of equal value when compared to articles and monographs. One major obstacle to the institutional legitimacy of multimodal research is the problem of evaluation or assessment, particularly in the gatekeeping sites of academic knowledge production (academic publishers, degree-granting programs, or research funding agencies). In her presentation Judith Albrecht will discuss the research of the Project Multimodal Appreciation (Humboldt University) and present the response of the research collective to this obstacle, a Kit for Evaluating Multimodal Works and a Manifest.
