Among the lectureres are: Professor Søren Brier, professor Robert Innis, professor Göran Sonnesson, professor Paul Bouissac, professor Per Durst-Andersen and professor Kalevi Kull.
About the conference: Moving from the information society to the knowledge society, we are forced to leave the old version of the information based cognitive science behind us. The aim is to develop a broader and more evolutionary framework for the development of cognition, communication and knowledge in a global setting. The new semiotics is used to gain a deeper understanding of knowledge management than used in the present logicistic, formalistic and computerized models in business, engineering and other forms of computerized knowledge management
The talks in this symposium will explore different dimensions of semiotics as a transdisciplinary study of the various forms knowledge and meaning-making take; explore their present relevance, and indicate path of future development.
