Meeting Description:

(Panel at 16th international Congress of the German Semiotics Society
“Transformations of Signs and their Objects“)

This panel focusses on practices of semiotic transformations, the transfer
from one semiotic mode to another and from one medium to another, in research
processes and scientific communication. It aims at assessing the
methodological and epistemological consequences involved in semiotic
transformation and intends to explore how semiotic transformation of data,
results of research, and other research material impacts and modifies meaning
construction.
Semiotic transformations occur during different phases of research processes:
during data collection, data preparation, data analysis, and the presentation
of results. Transcription of verbal interaction, for example, has been
theorized to some extent. However, the presentation of data, or the
representation of research findings in oral presentations, journals, and
books, in academic discourse and science journalism, requires further semiotic
analysis.

Even the interpretation of data entails processes of semiotic transformation:
Token phenomena are allocated to types and thereby related to specific
concepts of knowledge; Werner Holly and Ludwig Jäger conceptualized this
interpretative practice as transcriptivity and applied it to the analysis of
image-text-relations (Holly/Jäger 2011). To tailor methodically generated
knowledge to specific audiences and media in reports, articles, and
presentations implies a selective integration of signs which have become
relevant in the research process; this is, in itself, a semiotic
transformation. 

The panel seeks to assemble and to discuss explanations of processes of
semiotic transformations in research practices of different disciplines and
from different perspectives; it also aims at formulating a media-semiotic
critique of methods to advance reflection of research practices in different
fields. Therefore, it invites contributions not only from semiotics, yet also,
for example, from cognitive science, pedagogy and didactics, media studies,
and sociology.
