Southeast European Center for Semiotic Studies

"Sociosemiotics"

!!!PROGRAM!!!

6-16 September 2008, Sozopol - Bulgaria

The EFSS is a project for innovative and evolving form of intensive interdisciplinary teaching in the field of Semiotics, Communication science and Sociology. It will consist in 10 days of lectures, workshops and exercises, with about 60 to 70 participants. The particular international environment, gathering 8 lecturers and 50-60 students from 8 different European countries, provides unique conditions of multinational social interaction of knowledge exchange. Those conditions are particularly favourable to the theoretical issues, contained in the lectures, and irreplaceable for the workshops and exercises. Though online colleges are a good way of allowing minds from all over the world to meet and learn about particular subjects, we believe that for this specific purpose it would be exciting to allow those interested in semiotics, communication science and sociology to meet in person and attend live lectures and workshops to further their knowledge of the topics at hand. Our objectives are to achieve new qualitative level of teaching of semiotics and communication, not achievable separately in any of the participating universities. Although this thematic area is not object of autonomous programs in some of the cooperating universities, in all of them it is an obligatory part of the teaching of social sciences, humanities, political sciences, marketing, etc. Our target groups are affirmed scholars and students in the mentioned disciplines who are aware of the benefits of the international training and future exercise of their professions in a context of knowledge, mobility and communication based society. In near future EFSS should became part of an European Master in Semiotics and Communication sciences.
