Conference

12th Conference of the IAVS: Visual semiotics goes cognitive

Cognitive semiotics is an endeavour to bring together the two great transdisciplinary... Show everything

The awakening of the “Sleeping Beauty”: Modern Hebrew - a revived Ancient Semitic language contact-induced by European languages

How things shape memory: The case of monuments and counter-monuments

My presentation will suggest some possible ways to connect cognitive and cultural semiotics investigating the role that material artefacts can play in the process of constructing cultural memory.
