I’m coordinator of Semiofest’s series of informal online “sessions.” These events are intended not only to share best practices among, but to nurture collegiality and friendship within the global semio community.
Coming up on June 11th (at 2 pm UK time)…
COVID CODES
30 semioticians from around the world recently contributed to an ambitious study of “Covid-19 response” codes rooted in both brand communication and government public information taken from their own markets. Josh Glenn, Co-Convenor of the Semiofest Sessions and lead author of the report and organizer of the global project, will report out… with help from several of the project participants. Participants for this session will include:
SÓNIA MARQUES (Portugal), SEEMA KHANWALKAR (India), MACIEJ BIEDZINSKI (Poland), XIMENA TOBI (Argentina), and WEI FEN LEE (Singapore) will speak about their culture-specific contributions to Semiovox’s global COVID CODES study.
