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 July 9 (at 2 pm UK time)…
R/D/E: WHERE IS IT GOING?
In this session, three seasoned semiotic practitioners will discuss the Residual-Dominant-Emergent (RDE) framework — which for so many of us is a key tool for discussing the future.
