Synaesthesia, Multiple Literacies, And Communication Media
The author draws upon both historical and modern studies of synaesthesia as well as her own experiences as a synaesthete to explain what this mingling of the senses is, what it is not, and how it ties to media psychology. From the possibility of synaesthesia having led to humans forming sounds, words, and language we are led to an exploration of multiple literacies. Literacy has been historically limited in definition, but found a resurgence of exploration in the 1980s and 1990s as people attempted to broaden it to fit specific technologies. The various aspects of literacy are investigated as well as literacy’s ties to synaesthesia and importance to media psychology.
