(especially concerning the length of the abstracts)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--> THEME OF THE CONGRESS
Semiotics studies signs and the processes in which they are involved. These
processes give rise to meanings, which requires systems of some complexity.
All papers are welcome which investigate the various possible relationships
between signs and complex systems.
This is a current issue for numerous academic disciplines ranging from the
humanities and social sciences to the natural and engineering sciences.
Recent efforts in these disciplines have generated comprehensive models of
communication and cognition which are a challenge for Semiotics as well as
a justification for its claim of being a universal science and a conceptual
basis for other sciences.
--> PROGRAM OF THE CONGRESS
All contributions discussing sign processes as parts of larger systems are
welcome. Questions discussed can range over all subject matters and
academic disciplines.
Papers will be grouped into sessions or workshops. Plenary lectures dealing
with various topics will be arranged to facilitate and coordinate some
general reflections on various dimensions of sign-system complexity.
--> CONGRESS PARTICIPATION - SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS FOR PAPERS AND SESSION
The deadline for submission of PAPERS to be presented within the framework
of the Congress is MAY 31, 1999. Submissions can be made in any one of the
four languages of the Congress (English, French, Spanish, or German). Each
presentation, including discussion, will have a TIME-LIMIT OF 30 MINUTES.
PROPOSALS FOR PAPERS are to include a title and an abstract of appr. 300
WORDS. The proposal should be sent, together with a completed Registration
Form, to the Office of the Organizing Committee. No participant can submit
more than two paper proposals.
Congress participants can choose an appropriate session for presenting
their paper. Contacts with the session conveners can be established through
the Organization Office.
PROPOSALS FOR SESSIONS or workshops are also invited. Session proposals are
to include a title and an abstract of approximately 500 words. In addition,
session proposals must include a list of names of those who will
participate in the session, together with a Registration Form completed for
the person of the session organizer.
All abstracts should contain a list of 5 keywords indicating the major
subject(s) of the presentation or session.
All submissions will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee which
will constitute the final list of sessions and the assignment of individual
papers within sessions. Decisions of the Scientific Committee will be
communicated by the end of June, 1999.
In case you send the proposal as an ATTACHMENT to an email, the
