[Commlist] Sebeok's millennium - seminar series
Tue Nov 23 12:31:51 GMT 2021
The International Association for Semiotic Studies (IASS-AIS) is proud
to present ‘Sebeok’s millennium’ – a webinar series celebrating the work
of Thomas A. Sebeok 20 years after his death and 101 years after his birth.
In 1999, John Deely telephoned Tom Sebeok at his Bloomington home to
announce that the following year’s meeting of the Semiotic Society of
America would be dedicated to and entitled ‘Sebeok’s Century’. To this,
Tom replied with characteristic wit, “Why not Sebeok’s millennium?”
Why not, indeed? Sebeok regularly thought forwards, even as much as
10,000 years into the future. He saw the role of the international
semiotics community as integral to the future of humanity and, in so
doing, transformed semiotics, the academy and how humans at large see
the world. This webinar series will celebrate that thinking with
discussions featuring Sebeok scholars and colleagues.
The five webinars, each loosely focusing on areas where Tom Sebeok was
particularly influential and revered, will be as follows:
SEBEOK AND FINNO-UGRIC SEMIOTICS organised by Anti Randviir
(anti.randviir /at/ ut.ee) <mailto:(anti.randviir /at/ ut.ee)>
