The inaugural workshop took place in Bologna in June 2022 and focused on semiotic and digital approaches to memory and heritage. The second workshop will take place at Tallinn University on the 29th of September. Scholars from the University of Bologna, Tallinn and Tartu will explore the potential of semiotic concepts and methods in the analysis of the conflicts that characterize our societies, often grounded in symbolic and cultural issues. Participants will introduce theoretical frameworks for the study of conflict, alongside a series of case studies ranging from the ecological crisis to cancel culture and conspiracy narratives. The workshop is open to the public and all are welcome to participate.
