Semiotics of hybrid natures: Anthropogenic ecosystems, multimodalities, transformed umwelts

Quick menu:

Semiotics of hybrid natures:

Anthropogenic ecosystems, multimodalities, transformed umwelts

8–10.11.2018

University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia

Conference presentations can be viewed here.

Plenary speakers:

Nathalie Blanc  (CNRS / Université Paris Diderot -Paris 7, France)– “At the crossroads of senses and meaning, socio-environmental communities”

Morten Tønnessen (University of Stavanger, Norway) - “Current human ecology in light of Umwelt theory”

Kati Lindström (KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden) - “Generating value in protection policies: Challenge of the Anthropocene entanglements”

Global and all-encompassing human impact has brought along many new types of relations between humans and other biological species. These interactions change animal ecologies but also bring along new forms and aggregations of umwelts (animal personal worlds, after J. v. Uexküll). In this context, human technology both alienates and reconnects — media technologies have created new ways of becoming related with the environment (development of citizen science and augmented realities), and there are new technological capacities for restoring and shaping environments (geoengineering). Correspondingly, the human-animal-environment configurations have a hybrid nature: they are based on ecological relations, make use of the technologies and artificial environments and at the same time are represented and framed by human culture.

Achieving better knowledge on the dynamics and expressions of “hybrid natures” is essential for mitigating environmental conflicts and enhancing biodiversity in environments under human impact. The aim of the conference is to exchange knowledge on various manifestations of hybrid natures as well as to elaborate suitable research methods in ecosemiotics and beyond in other environmental humanities. Semiotics appears to have good potential for developing methods with prognostic value — for instance, analyzing umwelts and communication for estimating what species can reach stable co-existence and what adjustments may be needed for new natures to persist. 

Possible topics for contributions include, but are not limited to:

  • new types of interactions in interspecies relations;
  • semiotics of techno-natures;
  • human-induced changes in animal umwelts;
  • changes of human perception in hybrid environments;
  • recognizing and reacting to environmental change;
  • methodologies for studying hybrid natures;
  • semiotics of multispecies environments

Seminar "Multispecies City: diversity, communication, conflicts" 1.-2.12.2017

Tartu Loodusmaja (Lille, 10 Tartu)

Seminar homepage: https://www.flfi.ut.ee/et/semiootika-osakond/seminar-multispecies-city-diversity-communication-conflicts

Urban environments are inhabited not only by humans but by a number of species, including our pets, plants introduced by humans, commensals taking advantage of human resources, and also native species of the given area. Different species are related by manifold of relations: food chains, behavioural co-adaptations, interspecies communication, use of shared environments, and also cultural representations in case of human culture. A lot of this diversity is, however, concealed and the existence of other species in urban environments becomes often noticed only in the case of problematic and conflictive encounters. The unfolding interactions between species also depend heavily on spatial arrangements: urban planning, allocation of resources, migratory routes of birds and mammals and so on.

The diversity of species and their relations in urban environments makes multispecies city also a problematic object to study: it requires interdisciplinary co-operation and broad methodological approach. The aim of the current seminar is to bring together different disciplines working with the non-human species in cities to shed light upon differences as well as overlaps between approaches. This would include both theoretically-oriented approaches of semiotics and environmental history and more practically oriented approaches of urban planning and environmental education; natural science studies of plant and animal species in urban environments as well as humanities’ approaches to human discourses on and representations of other species. It is hoped that the seminar will open up new avenues and possibilities for future interdisciplinary cooperation.

Keynote lecture will be given by Ingvar Svanberg, Uppsala University, Sweden.

The Ecosemiotics Summer Seminar July 9.-11.2016, Muhu, Tamse

The ecosemiotics summer seminar ‘Ecological impoverishment as a collapse of sense’ takes place from the 9th to the 11th of July on the island of Muhu, in Tamse village. The language of the seminar will be English. Philosopher, biosemiotician and biologist Andreas Weber will be the keynote speaker of the seminar. The seminar will focus on environmental problems, which depart from and result in a shift in human  cognition; the role of various forms of human sense (arts, science, religion) in the preservation of natural diversity; the transformation of the existential condition of humans in connection with environmental change; the loss of perceptual worlds as a consequence of biodiversity loss.

Tartu Semiotics Summer School 2015 and Nordic Association of Semiotic Studies IX conference "Semiotic (un-)predictability" August 17-20, 2015, in Tartu.

The paradoxical co-presence of predictability and unpredictability is a fundamental aspect of the dynamics of the semiotic world. Abduction, habit, explosion, (artistic) modelling, code, interaction, meaning-making, signification, innovation, uncertainty, change, order and disorder, entropy, translation, interpretation – there are numerous concepts that reflect this tension in different kinds of semiotic systems and processes.

Predictability and unpredictability are processual notions that have been used for the description and analysis of different forms of creativity and freedom on both the psychological and the social level. They were also key concepts for Juri Lotman. He considered every act of communication and understanding as involving elements of unpredictability, and every dialogue as being not only about language use, but involving language creation as well. From the perspective of cultural dynamics, every revolution, but also every new fact or event within culture and society is an explosion – a tension between predictability and unpredictability. Underlying these conceptions is an understanding of predictability and unpredictability as it pertains to the different models we use for conceiving and changing reality: scientific as well as artistic. In order to sustain itself, every society needs both.

The conference will explore the functioning of semiotic mechanisms that mediate order and change in cultural, social, and biological systems from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. (Un-)predictability is also of utmost practical value incognition – for simpler forms of life, for human everyday life, for scientific inquiry, and in practically oriented applications of semiotics.

We invite presentation and session proposals that investigate the processes and structures that facilitate predictability and unpredictability in meaning-making, their particular forms, mechanisms and functions, as well as the role, value and nature of (scientific) predictability in the object domain and disciplinary tasks of semiotics. Proposals that approach the issues of predictability and unpredictability from theoretical as well as applied perspectives are welcome.

Plenary speakers will be Mihai Nadin, Stuart Kauffman, Jordan Zlatev, Ilya Utekhin.

Lecture series celebrating the 50th anniversary of "Sign Systems Studies"

 

 

The lecture series, called "Loenguid märgisüsteemide alalt" (in English: lectures from the field of sign systems) celebrates the 50th anniversary of the journal "Sign Systems Studies". Mostly lectures are in Estonian, but several foreign guests will come also. 

The lecture series is supported by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund (Center of Excellence CECT).

Igor Pilshchikov will speak on the topic of "The Tartu-Moscow School of Semiotics in Transnational Perspective”.  His lecture will take place on the 17th of September, 2014, at 4 pm in Jakobi 2-306.

The lecture will focus on

the evolution of structural and semiotic approaches to languages, literatures and cultures in Estonia, and the role of "Sign Systems Studies";

the continuity and transfer of ideas and organizational forms between Russian formalism, Polish formalism, Czech interwar structuralism and, finally, post-WWII Estonian, Russian, Italian, and French structuralism and semiotics;

the influence of TMS on literary theory and semiotics of culture in Europe and worldwide, and the prospects for its recalibration in the context of contemporary cultural and literary theory. 

Watch the video of the lecture from here.

Carlo Ginzburg peab will speak on the topic "Dialogue as Fight, Dialogue as Challenge”. His lecture will take place on the 24th of September, at 4 pm at Ülikooli 18 - 232.

Abstract. For many years,  I have been trying to develop in many different directions Mikhail Bakhtin's  reflections on the dialogic dimension.  I would like  to  illustrate  this point,  focusing on a few case studies, related to my own research as a historian.
