Meeting Description:

2018 is a year to celebrate two important milestones in the history of social
semiotics – publication of landmark books in 1978 and 1988. Forty years ago,
Michael Halliday issued Language as a Social Semiotic. Ten years after, Robert
Hodge and Gunther Kress published Social Semiotics. To mark these two
important anniversaries the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University holds the
conference Social Science as Social Semiotics as a part of wider research and
education program Baltic Modes of Social Semiotics.

Plenary speakers of the conference are

- Gunther Kress
- Jeff Bezemer
- Mikhail Ilyin
- Anti Randviir
- Suren Zolyan


The organizers of the conference hope that the venue of the conference will
serve to synergize the potent semiotic schools and traditions that have a long
history in the Baltic region. The conference is open to scholars from other
regions. It will provide a space for all those who are interested in social
semiotics to discuss the achievements and challenges of this field.

Even though the occasion for the conference consigns mostly to the
systemic-functional branch of semiotics, its agenda extends its thematic
domains. Possible topics of the conference contributions include (but are not
limited to):

- Knowledge transfer and methodological convergence of social and semiotic
research
- Trans- and multidisciplinarity: the interface of research and social
practices
- Semiotic approaches and methods in social sciences
- Multimodal analysis across disciplines
- Tartu-Moscow Semiotic School and its applications to social research
- Greimas’s semiotics in social studies
- Peirce’s semiotics in social studies
- Interfaces of biosemiotics and social semiotics
- Methods and techniques of semiotic research beyond semiotics
- Theoretical and pragmatic challenges of social semiotics
- Semiotics of power and governance
- Social linguistics and communication studies
- Discourse analysis in social and political research
- Social representations in language, culture, and art

We invite proposals for individual presentations (20 minutes), panels and
roundtables.

Conference languages: English, Russian. Translations will not be arranged.  

Registration fee: 2000 rubles

Important dates:

- Deadline for abstract submissions: 20 May 2018
