Meeting Description: 

Multimodal analysis is an emergent research field, with more open questions
than clear answers or fully established concepts (and methodologies). At the
same time, it is a promising and exciting field that makes possible many
interdisciplinary approaches, methods, and opportunities for collaboration.
The conference aims at promoting this kind of exchange across disciplinary
borders and brings together experts from various disciplines working on
text-image compositions from empirical, methodological, and / or theoretical
perspectives. The goal is to discuss the definition and theoretical analysis
of the diachronic and cultural (in)variance of such text-image compositions as
well as the semiotic principles of their organization.

Researchers from Ancient Studies (Classics, Egyptology, Near Eastern Studies),
Precolumbian Studies, Sinology, Linguistics, Media and Communication Studies,
Visual Studies, and Semiotics will examine topics such as the multimodality of
graphic communication, the specificity of logographic writing systems, as well
as the role of iconicity and indexicality in semiotic processes. In addition
to the discussion of individual aspects of research, space for discussion
about the applicability of theories and models to other disciplines is also
provided within the conference.

The conference comprises three main subject areas:

- Iconicity and indexicality in visual communication systems
- Analysis of text-image compositions in individual languages
- Theory of text-image composition

Invited speakers include: John A. Bateman, Ellen Fricke, Gunther Kress,
Winfried Nöth, Klaus Sachs-Hombach, Frederik Stjernfelt, and Hartmut Stöckl.
