The purpose of the symposium is to bring together scholars across the world

GIFs) for cross-disciplinary inspiration in addressing the challenges in
collecting, analyzing and interpreting graphicon usage in various context.

their up-to-date research on graphicons usage in digital media. The keynote
speeches include:

Digital Self-Representation: Uses and Effects
Michele Zappavigna (University of New South Wales, Australia): Emoji as

and Contextual Variation in Emojis: Towards a Methodology Midground
