Subject : Web site "Text Semiotics" : call for contributions

Dear colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that the Text Semiotics web site is now
available at:
www.text-semiotics.org


As you know, semiotics is largely represented on the Net.  The semiotic
field grows richer and richer every day; its domains take their own
dimensions as the fast progression of online publications goes along.
Professionals are increasingly concerned with being able to direct their
browsing through specialized portal sites. So the aim of this site is to
specify the domain of Textual Semiotics on the web by allowing access to
a large inventory of online resources. The utility of this site would be
to target the research for those who are particularly interested in
textual studies from the semiotic point of view.


The Web site "Text Semiotics" is an open and voluntary international
project. In accordance with the multinational and multilingual
environment on the Internet, the site is democratic and open to all
those who wish to refer or present their publications on line. The
proportion of researchers in the field of textual analysis who use
electronic publishing media is increasing worldwide. It is obvious that
this polyglot situation of the electronic resources imposes constraints
which make it impossible to aspire to unconstrained exhaustiveness,
(moreover, it would be contrary to the dynamic nature of hypertext).
However, we feel justified in aspiring to maximum information, which
could be reached only by a broad collaboration from all of us. Together,
we can create the web site of Textual Semiotics by our common
contribution and for our common profit.

To this purpose you are kindly invited to add links, to announce events,
to indicate or to suggest your electronic publications as well as the
online publications of your institution (department, university,
association, group, etc.) concerning Textual Semiotics.

The site " Text Semiotics " is conceived as a multilingual tool.
Currently it is available in English, French, and Russian. Pages in
other languages will be added progressively to the collection of
information. To carry out this project the site needs an international
team composed of various section coordinators.
Coordinators for the Russian, Italian, German, English, French and
Spanish sections are required urgently.

Looking forward to your suggestions and comments,
Best regards,
