Deadline for abstracts submissions is 15 April 2024 | panel titled: "Semiotic Explorations of Ecology" at IASS world congress in Warsaw, Poland
Dear Friends and colleagues,
We have some excellent news to share with you!
The network "SPACE SEMIOTICS [Design, Architecture, Urbanism, Landscaping]" https://significant.design/subscribe is organizing a panel titled: Semiotic Explorations of Ecology (in Design, Architecture, Urbanism, Landscaping) (Isabel Marcos, Claudio Guerri) this year within the framework of the 16th IASS-AIS World Congress devoted to Signs and Realities, 2-6 September 2024 in Warsaw, Poland.
The call is open until the 15th April 2024, you can submit your paper here:
https://www.semcon2024.com/abstrakty
How the registration process works:
1. You pre-register without paying.
2. You get your registration ID (RegID).
3. With your RegID you can submit your paper abstracts until 15 April 2024.
At the end of the panel, we will include a roundtable to discuss the unresolved problems of Signs and Realities, Ecology in Design and Design and Morphology in general. With this call we are asking all interested scholars to participate in this roundtable and to propose their own point of view on applied semiotics.
We will finally meet in person!
Isabel Marcos & Claudio Guerri
Description of the panel proposal:
Ecology, when examined from a semiotic perspective, reveals itself as a complex reality, intertwining tangible environmental phenomena with theoretical, physical and symbolic representations. This manifestation possibilities invites us to explore the interconnections between semiotics, design, architecture, urbanism and landscaping. Thus, ecology, connecting the tangible aspects of the environment to the different semiotic constructions shape our understanding and interaction with this reality.
1. Semiotics in Environmental Communication: Explore how semiotic systems contribute to the communication of environmental issues.
2. Semiotic Analysis of the Ecological Crisis: Investigation of semiotic representations of the ecological crisis in different discourses.
3. Ecological Language and Technological Innovation: Study of the creation of a specific semiotic language to discuss ecological issues, with an analysis of the impact of technological innovations.
4. Semiotic Ethics in Design: Explore the ethical implications of semiotics related to growth in the fields of design. How do signs contribute to the formulation of new ecological ethics in design?
5. Semiotics in Bioclimatic Architecture: Examine the role of bioclimatic architecture and how the signifying elements of this approach are used to create the maximum ecological impact of natural resources.
6. Urban Semiotics and Environmental Policy: Examining how new ecological practices in the urban context impact environmental policies. What is the ecological significance of these urban practices and how do they shape environmental policies?
7. Landscape Semiotics and Ecological Impact: Study of sign usage in vegetal, urban, and architectural landscapes, taking into account their ecological impact. How does landscape semiotics influence environmental awareness and sustainable practices?
