Som teoretisk ramme anvendes det videnskabsfilosofisk forankrede emergensbegreb, der trods dets prim rt naturvidenskabelige anknytning med fordel kan appliceres p perceptuelt- stetiske f nomener, i forhold til hvilke der anl gges en hermeneutisk tilgang. Med udgangspunkt i en interesse for navnlig musikkens ekspressive og semantiske potentiale i forhold til det multimodale betydningshele diskuteres en r kke centrale forskningsbidrag p omr det og deres stilling i forhold til en forst elsesramme, der tager afs t i emergensbegrebets definitoriske kriterier. P denne baggrund foretages analytiske n rstudier af tre forskellige audiovisuelle sekvenser, hvori samme musikalske komposition indg r, men hvor dens arrangering i forhold til de vrige modaliteter varierer betragteligt. In this article I will demonstrate an analytic-hermeneutic approach regarding multimodal semiosis in audio-visual media products, such as television commercials and documentaries in which several modalities or semiotic resources co-operate and interact. As a theoretical framework I will exploit the concept of emergence. Although usually associated with philosophy, systems theory and the sciences, this concept can prove instructive in evaluating intermodal correlation in perceptive-aesthetic phenomena as well, seeing that multimodal semiosis is not merely a summation of images plus words plus music. Taking as a point of departure the expressive and semantic potential of music as one component in a coherent multimodal whole, I will discuss a number of profound contributions to the field of music¡¯s semiotic potential in multimedia in relation to a comprehensive analytical framework, which take into consideration the established criteria for emergence. I shall illustrate my approach by analysing a television commercial for ¡°SkandiaBanken¡±, named Killarna (¡°The Guys¡±), and two scenes from a Danish documentary, Fogh bag facaden (¡°Fogh behind the fa ade¡±). All three audio-visual clips include the same musical composition (¡°Waltz No. 2¡± by Dmitri Shostakovich), but compared to each other, the music takes on different roles and positions against the other modalities/resources, and consequently, different types of meaning emergence are shaped. %U http://ojs.statsbiblioteket.dk/index.php/mediekultur/article/view/2121
