>
>Ever since Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver developed the "mathematical
>theory of communication, communication has become a hot potato of
>scholarly debate. This has put naturalistic and cultural perspectives on
>a collision course. There are more than 100 different definitions of
>communication whereby their most hotly disputed component is
>"information ­ the entity which is presumably exchanged during
>communication.
>
>Scientists and artists will meet at this inter-disciplinary and
>inter-institutional symposium in order to discuss this theme in light of
>both systems and cultural theory. For many adherents of systems theory,
>communication by and large involves interaction between linked systems,
>i.e., a concept which, in principle, can be used on different scales. It
>is irrelevant here whether the interaction between molecules can be
>called communication. That said, language usage suggests that even
>primitive organisms, like bacteria, practice communication. Does
>communication take place in the networked structure of linked neurons in
>the brain or does communication first take place between creatures that
>are equipped with a brain?
>
>Cultural scientists reject this reduction of the concept of
>communication to known structures of interaction. They point to "speech
>and "meaning as it has historically developed within society. In such
>discussions there will always be discrepancies and unanswered questions.
>Nevertheless it is the declared intention of the symposium to make a
>reconciliatory contribution to the subject of communication.
>
>A book containing the contributions to the symposium can be purchased at
>the beginning of the event for EUR 19.00.
