SAVE-THE-DATE!

IACS 4 
2-4 July 2020
SEMIOTIC COMPLEXITIES: Theory & Analysis
Aachen, Germany
https://iacs4.signges.de

The IACS conference series seeks to gather scholars and scientists in
semiotics, cognitive science, linguistics, anthropology, philosophy,
psychology, art history and theory, media studies, and related fields, who
wish to share their research on meaning and contribute to the
interdisciplinary endeavor of cognitive semiotics. Previous conferences were
held in Lund (2014), Lublin (2016), and Toronto (2018).

Conference Theme:

The conference theme of IACS4 is “SEMIOTIC COMPLEXITIES: Theory & Analysis.”
It aims to account for the complexities of semiosis, that is, for the
intricacies of semiotic processes in a broad range of semiotic systems, with a
focus on either cognitive, monomodal, crossmodal or multimodal processes of
meaning construal. While the theme is rather broad and non-restrictive, it is
intended to encourage contributions showing how theoretical frameworks and
methods of analysis may mutually enhance each other and thus offer truly new
insights into the merits of semiotic inquiry and advance the
cross-disciplinary enterprise of cognitive semiotics.

In this light, THEORY here is meant to include influential semiotic theories
(as proposed by, e.g. Eco, Greimas, Jakobson, Lothman, Peirce, Saussure), as
well as theoretical concepts and principles that are central to cognitive
linguistics, general linguistics, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and
the cognitive sciences more broadly. ANALYSIS encompasses qualitative,
quantitative and experimental methods and tools, as well as mixed-methods
approaches developed to derive emerging patterns and regularities but also
unique instances of meaning-making in both static and dynamic semiotic
fabrics. 

Topics:

Topics of the conference include (but are not limited to):

- semiotic theory
- cognitive linguistics
- cognitive poetics
- cognitive anthropology 
- gesture and sign language
- embodied interaction
- ecological approaches to meaning-making
- phenomenology
- embodiment, enaction
- multimodality (e.g., film, music, cartoons, comics, advertisement)       
- modality-specificity and crossmodal principles of meaning-making
- narrativity across different media
- semiotics and art history/archeology/architecture/aesthetics
- visual analysis (images, the visual arts, architecture, etc.)
- iconicity and indexicality (incl. viewpoint) in language and other semiotic
resources
- metonymy and metaphor across modalities
- intersubjectivity and mimesis in evolution and development 
- linguistic and cultural relativity
- semiotic and cognitive development in children
- biological and cultural evolution of human cognition/communication
- embodiment and spatial cognition
- semiotic foundations of digital humanities 
- experimental semiotics
- biosemiotics / neurosemiotics
- technosemiotics (e.g., social robotics)

We will soon announce the plenaries and pre-conference workshops and invite
abstract submissions for theme sessions, oral presentations, and posters. The
submission process will start on September 15, 2019 via the conference
