Conference Aims and Topics:
The conference is to provide a platform for an interdisciplinary
discussion of the interrelations between culture, cognition and
communication, with special attention to the cultural and cognitive
roles of writing and other media. Anthropologists, communication studies
researchers, sociologists, psychologists, philosophers and cognitive
scientists are encouraged to challenge ideas concerning the cognitive
and cultural functions of communication, language and media– thereby
building upon the work of such scholars as Innis, McLuhan, Goody,
Havelock, Ong, Olson and Vygotsky. Of particular interest are
submissions that explore the interrelations between cognitive science
and theories of media and communications, which might be pursued from
any of a number of theoretical positions, including: media ecology,
medium theory and literacy-orality theory, speech-act theory, critical
discourse analysis, semiotics of culture, theory of communicative action
and communicology.
