Collapse and Extinction: Art, Literature and Discourse

Wikipedia: "Destruction" from the series "The Course of Empire" by Thomas Cole (1836)

Conference
Stockholm University (on location and online)
28.–29.04.2021

Link to the conference in Zoom.

The conference will deal with cultural images of collapse that are endorsed by the extinction of biological species and disappearance of familiar biological communities

Conference program

In the past few years, discourses on collapse have been more and more visible in the public space, as if it was too late to address the major challenges posed by climate change. The idea of systemic collapse is not new, as many civilizations had what was called Kulturpessimismus in Germany at the turn of the 19th. What is striking about the current situation is the multiplication of theological, scientific and philosophical discourses dealing with the notion of collapse, as if the globalization process with its main ideas (rapidity of exchanges, acquisition of new markets, cult of growth) reached its final phase. The cultural images of collapse are further endorsed by the extinction of biological species and disappearance of familiar biological communities.

This conference aims to question the notion of collapse and analyse how it contributes to produce new aesthetical and semiotic forms as well as new kinds of reading. What kind of literary genres appear in parallel with a discourse on collapsology (science-fiction, dystopia, essays, post apocalyptic fiction)? Do these genres include a direct form of ideological interpretation of the world? How do they relate to the factual processes of climate change and sixth mass extinction? What type of reading do these works trigger?

Comparison is the key to understand the emergence of these new genres. The conference welcomes analysis of works that have a relation to the notion of collapse so that a comparative corpora can be built. One objective is to analyze literary works on collapse in Romance literature but other case-studies or comparisons are welcomed.

Transmedial turn? Potentials, problems, and points to consider

Transmedial turn

8–11 December 2020, University of Tartu, Estonia

We are happy to invite you to participate in the conference "Transmedial turn?" – the second conference in a series of academic gatherings dedicated to the studiey of intersemiotic processes in culture.

As the title of the conference indicates, the central topic of inquiry is the cultural shift from logocentric to increasingly intersemiotic, intermedial and transmedial processes and its impact on disciplines that study textual transfers, relations between semiotic systems or media, and new media practices. We foreground the notion ‘transmedia’ – with its prefix trans- meaning ‘across’, ‘beyond’, ‘through’ – to highlight the ubiquity of processes and phenomena of media crossovers.

The conference aims at bringing together scholars from disciplines interested in textual transfers across languages, genres and media, among them Translation Studies, Semiotics, and Adaptation Studies, and to promote a more complex understanding of the transmedial processes and phenomena in culture, particularly of the diverse and novel theoretical perspectives, concepts and methods used in various disciplines for approaching these processes and phenomena.

Andrew Stables: guest lecture on educational semiotics

Educational semiotician Andrew Stables (UK) will give a public lecture at the department of semiotics on February 21st, at 14.15 (Jakobi 2-306) titled "From Minimal Ontological Realism to New Localism: implications for politics and education". He will explain how he has developed his view of semiosis as a universal process, and what distinguishes it from other approaches. He will then discuss the implications of that view for theories of learning and education, and for thinking about politics, economics, and culture more broadly.

Andrew Stables is an eminent scholar in the field of semiotics and educational philosophy. He is currently Professor Emeritus at the University of Roehampton. His latest monography is titled New Localism: Living in the Here and Now (Springer 2019).

Everyone is welcome to attend!

Robert Innis intensive course "Semiotic Linkages: Frameworks and Exemplifications"

Robert Innis intensive course

You are all welcome to the intensive course "Semiotic Linkages: Frameworks and Exemplifications“ taught by the distinguished philosopher, semiotician and cultural psychologist Robert Innis.

The course of lectures and seminars will present the results of reflections on selected semiotic topics arising from an examination of intertwined analytical concepts developed, often without any explicit relation to one another, by C. S. Peirce, John Dewey, Karl Bühler, Michael Polanyi, Ernst Cassirer, and Susanne Langer. Starting from and developing in the sessions the problem of the contrasting relations of lower and upper levels of signification in the semiotic continuum, I will outline the main lines of my researches on (a) the intersections and differences between Peirce’s and Dewey’s pragmatist approaches to language and to ourselves as the ‘language animal’ with special attention to their bearing on the issues of ineffability and the thresholds of sense, (b) the analytical value and continuing semiotic relevance of Bühler’s organon model of language and its relation to Alan Gardiner’s ‘situation’ or ‘field’ theory, (c) the relation between Polanyi’s and Peirce’s approach to the creativity of ‘articulation’ and the perceptual or tacit roots of linguistic meaning, (d) some semiotic and perceptual aspects of our embodiment in technological systems, linking Polanyi, Dewey, and Cassirer, (e) the intertwining of perceptual, semiotic, and hermeneutic dimensions in the experience of art, (f) the relations between a Peircean semiotic aesthetics and the pragmatist, perception based aesthetics of Dewey, and (g) a sketch of some semiotic and existential pathways in self-reflection and thinking about oneself.

Robert Innis is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The past five years he has been Obel Foundation Visiting Professor at the Centre for Cultural Psychology at Aalborg University. He has also been Fulbright Professor at the University of Copenhagen. He has published many articles, monographs, and books on the intersections between philosophy and the human sciences, with special focus on philosophical semiotics, aesthetics, the philosophy of technology, and the philosophy of religion. His books include “Karl Bühler: Semiotic Foundations of Language Theory”, “Semiotics: An Introductory Anthology”, “Consciousness and the Play of Signs”, “Pragmatism and the Forms of Sense”, and “Susanne Langer in Focus: The Symbolic Mind”. His book “Between Philosophy and Cultural Psychology: Analytical Resources at the Thresholds of Sense” will be published by Springer in 2020.

Research seminar: “Inter- and transmedial translation analysis: methods and concepts” , March 22, 2019

The movement of texts from one medium to another and their parallel manifestation in various media are phenomena that are well-known to us from our everyday life as well as from history (e.g. the same text as a work of literature, as a film or as a comic strip; the same story told orally or in written form, as pictures or as songs etc.). The research seminar focuses on the possibilities of analysing intermedial and transmedial translation: which conceptual means and which methods are suitable for understanding and explaining inter- and transmedial translation. The working languages of the seminar are Estonian and English.

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.

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;
