Meeting Description:
'Saussurean Revolutions' is an international, interdisciplinary conference that sets out to examine both current and potential future developments of Saussurean thought.
International Colloquium
Geneva, 20-22 June 2007
To celebrate:
the centenary of Saussure's first course of lectures in general linguistics
150th anniversary of the birth of Ferdinand de Saussure
50th anniversary of the publication of the 'Sources manuscrites du CLG' by Robert Godel
Organized by the University of Geneva
Faculty of Letters
Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences
Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences
A hundred years ago, Ferdinand de Saussure delivered his first course of lectures on general linguistics at the University of Geneva.
His ideas were to have a remarkable future: bold and innovative, but poorly understood in consequence, tentative but revolutionary, they have inspired many subsequent developments in modern thought and research.
Over several decades now, the gradual discovery of his unfinished manuscripts, his notes and those of his students has made it possible to propose re-readings of his work and reassessments of its importance.
Apart from linguistics, semiotics, anthropology and other social sciences have had their Saussurean revolutions. Saussure's contrastive approach, rejecting 'ontological' conceptions of language and various forms of positivism, laid the foundations for modern structuralist thinking. His focus on the interdependence of perspective and object, forms of temporality and the dynamics of systems threw new light on the relations between language and thought, signs and culture.
Saussure's work was thus of general epistemological significance, affecting the very conception of scientific inquiry itself. For the sciences of culture, at present undergoing an identity crisis, it offers the prospect of a new reorientation.
'Saussurean Revolutions' is an international, interdisciplinary conference that sets out to examine both current and potential future developments of Saussurean thought.
Themes
A. Signs and mind.
B. Language systems in relation to physical and social systems
C. Dynamics and temporality
D. Saussure, texts and other products of culture
Presentations
These should fall within one of the four thematic categories proposed above and topics may be approached either from a specifically Saussurean perspective or from that of current work in progress in the human sciences.
The committee is hoping to avoid reiteration of the familiar exegesis of Saussurean texts, but welcomes original analyses and new advances based upon them.
Practical arrangements
- Proposals (title and synopsis: 5000 characters, including bibliography) should be sent by e-mail by 1 November 2006 at the latest to: colloque at saussure.ch using the style sheet on the colloquium website: http://www.saussure.ch
- The scientific committee's decisions will be announced at the end of January 2007. Contributions selected should be sent in their final form (30,000 characters, including bibliography) by 31 April 2007 and will be made available to those present at the colloquium. It is envisaged that they will later be published in the Proceedings.
Languages
French, German, English, Italian, Spanish.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against
