They provide the principal semiotic means for the complexity and diversity of human cultural life. As has long been recognized, no single discipline or methodology is sufficient to capture all the dimensions of this complex and multifaceted phenomenon, which lies at the heart of what it is to be human. The goal of this conference is to contribute to situating the study of language in a contemporary interdisciplinary dialogue. Many of the relevant disciplines have made highly significant theoretical, methodological and empirical advances during the last decade. We call for contributions from scholars and scientists in anthropology, biology, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, semiotics, cognitive and neurosciences, who wish both to impart their insights and findings, and learn from other disciplines. Preference will be given to submissions which emphasize interdisciplinarity, the interaction between culture, mind and language, and/or multi-methodological approaches in language sciences. TOPICS Topics include but are not limited to: * Biological and cultural co-evolution * Comparative study of communication systems * Cognitive and cultural schematization in language * Emergence of language in ontogeny and phylogeny * Language in multi-modal communication * Language and normativity * Language and thought, emotion and consciousness COMMITTEES Local Organizing Committee (Department of Psychology, University of Portsmouth, England) * Mike Fluck * Karl Nunkoosing * Vasu Reddy * Chris Sinha * Vera da Silva * Joerg Zinken International Organizing Committee * Carmen Guarddon Anelo, Departamento de Filologias Extranjeras y sus Lingisticas, Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia, Spain * Raphael Berthele, Departement für Germanistik, Université de Fribourg, Switzerland * Maria Cristóbal, Department of English Philology I.

MELLON FOUNDATION POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, 2004-06 Rice University and the Center for the Study of Cultures announce the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Program designed to encourage interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching. Two postdoctoral fellows will be selected for a two-year appointment beginning July 1, 2004 at a stipend of $36,000 per year plus $2,000 moving and research fund. Fellows will teach two courses per academic year, will be expected to make significant progress in their research, and will also participate in the intellectual life of relevant departments, programs, and Center research groups. While candidates will be affiliated with an appropriate department in the humanities or social sciences, we are particularly interested in candidates whose interests are interdisciplinary. The categories are therefore open in terms of disciplinary approach and time period. We anticipate making appointments in one or two areas of specialization which include the following: Gender, Culture and Language -- Potential areas of research include but are not limited to gender and science, gender and religion, gender and language, transnational movements, and intersections of race and gender in literature. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Consciousness and Thought -- The study of the human mind from a multidisciplinary perspective, integrating ideas at the crossroads of philosophy, psychology, and linguistics. Areas of interest may include the nature and functioning of consciousness, cognitive models and structures, the basis of human reason, and the relation of thought and language. Eligibility: Ph.D. degree received 2001 or after. Applicants who will receive the Ph.D. degree by July 1, 2004 are eligible to apply. If the Ph.D. is not complete at the time of the application, a letter of confirmation must be received from the committee chair or department stating that the candidate will have the Ph.D. degree by July 1, 2004. Applications should include: a) cover letter b) statement of current research including project(s) to be undertaken during fellowship period (max. three single-spaced pages) c) brief proposal for a one-semester undergraduate course d) curriculum vitae e) three letters of recommendation (candidate should request letters to be sent by referees) APPLICATION DEADLINE: All application materials (including letters of recommendation) must be received by March 1, 2004 by regular or express mail.

They provide the principal semiotic means for the complexity and diversity of human cultural life. As has long been recognized, no single discipline or methodology is sufficient to capture all the dimensions of this complex and multifaceted phenomenon, which lies at the heart of what it is to be human. The goal of this conference is to contribute to situating the study of language in a contemporary interdisciplinary dialogue. Many of the relevant disciplines have made highly significant theoretical, methodological and empirical advances during the last decade. We call for contributions from scholars and scientists in anthropology, biology, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, semiotics, cognitive and neurosciences, who wish both to impart their insights and findings, and learn from other disciplines. Preference will be given to submissions which emphasize interdisciplinarity, the interaction between culture, mind and language, and/or multi-methodological approaches in language sciences. TOPICS Topics include but are not limited to: * Biological and cultural co-evolution * Comparative study of communication systems * Cognitive and cultural schematization in language * Emergence of language in ontogeny and phylogeny * Language in multi-modal communication * Language and normativity * Language and thought, emotion and consciousness COMMITTEES Local Organizing Committee (Department of Psychology, University of Portsmouth, England) * Mike Fluck * Karl Nunkoosing * Vasu Reddy * Chris Sinha * Vera da Silva * Joerg Zinken International Organizing Committee * Carmen Guarddon Anelo, Departamento de Filologias Extranjeras y sus Lingisticas, Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia, Spain * Raphael Berthele, Departement f?r Germanistik, Universit? de Fribourg, Switzerland * Maria Crist?bal, Department of English Philology I.

MELLON FOUNDATION POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM, 2004-06 Rice University and the Center for the Study of Cultures announce the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Program designed to encourage interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching. Two postdoctoral fellows will be selected for a two-year appointment beginning July 1, 2004 at a stipend of $36,000 per year plus $2,000 moving and research fund. Fellows will teach two courses per academic year, will be expected to make significant progress in their research, and will also participate in the intellectual life of relevant departments, programs, and Center research groups. While candidates will be affiliated with an appropriate department in the humanities or social sciences, we are particularly interested in candidates whose interests are interdisciplinary. The categories are therefore open in terms of disciplinary approach and time period. We anticipate making appointments in one or two areas of specialization which include the following: Gender, Culture and Language -- Potential areas of research include but are not limited to gender and science, gender and religion, gender and language, transnational movements, and intersections of race and gender in literature. Interdisciplinary Approaches to Consciousness and Thought -- The study of the human mind from a multidisciplinary perspective, integrating ideas at the crossroads of philosophy, psychology, and linguistics. Areas of interest may include the nature and functioning of consciousness, cognitive models and structures, the basis of human reason, and the relation of thought and language. Eligibility: Ph.D. degree received 2001 or after. Applicants who will receive the Ph.D. degree by July 1, 2004 are eligible to apply. If the Ph.D. is not complete at the time of the application, a letter of confirmation must be received from the committee chair or department stating that the candidate will have the Ph.D. degree by July 1, 2004. Applications should include: a) cover letter b) statement of current research including project(s) to be undertaken during fellowship period (max. three single-spaced pages) c) brief proposal for a one-semester undergraduate course d) curriculum vitae e) three letters of recommendation (candidate should request letters to be sent by referees) APPLICATION DEADLINE: All application materials (including letters of recommendation) must be received by March 1, 2004 by regular or express mail.
