Meeting Description:

The event is organized by the Cyprus Semiotics Circle together with the
Semiotics and Visual Communication Research Lab and the Department of
Multimedia and Graphic Arts of Cyprus University of Technology. The conference
aims to investigate the broad subject fields of Semiotics and Visual
Communication in a widest context, celebrating the exploration of connections,
tensions, contradictions and complementarity between the diversity of research
outputs under the subject of ‘Myths Today’. 

The notion of myth as defined by Roland Barthes in the late 1950’s, provided a
theoretical framework under which daily habits, as well as consumer practices
can be examined as socially constructed signs, idealized through verbal
narratives. While ‘myth is a type of speech’, it is also a type of image,
typeface, cinema, photography, sports, online network, cyber space, politics,
TV show, sound, fashion, since all these can serve as a groundwork to mythical
discourses. Myth is a mode of signification that is ‘not defined by the object
of its message, but by the way in which it utters this message…’ Whether
verbal or nonverbal, when signs become meaningful they enter the mythical
sphere and communicate culturally constructed messages. Under this framework,
the current conference builds on the enduring significance of this concept,
and aims to explore myths today, in the context of global networks,
globalisation, visual and mass communication.


Call for Papers:

Under the scope of uncovering and investigating myths today, we invite papers
that examine the Conference’s theme through macro and/or micro examples,
during a quite socio-politically unstable era where comprehending these
phenomena and providing effective readings becomes not only increasingly
important, but sometimes vital for survival. The Conference seeks to bring
together scholars, researchers and practitioners who share a common interest
in Semiotics and Visual Communication.
