In 2022 – the centenary of the birth of Juri Lotman – we invite you to focus on the potentiality of his semiotic theory (including ideas of as personality, translation, creolization, autocommunication, self-description, semiosphere) to critique power structures and ideological processes in semiosic phenomena.
We invite contributors to prepare an analytical essay focusing on a specific case study of a semiotic artefact or type of artefact, demonstrating how Lotmanian theory can fuel a critique of the limitations on, and variations in, the ways in which the semiotic resources/practices in question may perpetuate biases, imbalance or legitimize and maintain kinds of power interests.
At this stage, we solicit not papers but a proposal of between 1000 and 1500 words length, with bibliographic references included. On this basis, we will select 8 proposals, to be developed in an essay of 7/8000 words (bibliography included).
Proposals should be sent to: (annamaria.lorusso@unibo.it) and (franciscu.sedda@gmail.com).
Deadline CfP: 30 October 2021
Communication of proposals selected: 15 November 2021
Deadline for papers: 15 March 2022,
Refereeing process: 15 March – 31 May
Delivery of definitive version of texts: 1 August 2022
Publication: October 2022
