| description: | The scientific theme is based on the need of bringing the development of social and human sciences to the level of higher congeniality with the developmental speed of culture and society. This task implies that (1) the analysis of complex or hybrid cultural phenomena (identities, events, different types of artistic synthetic activities, texts of new media and multimedia) be updated, and (2) the cooperation capability of disciplines studying culture, society and nature be increased. Amongst the main goals there is shaping principles of semiotic analysis of culture for such transdisciplinary methodology that would ensure the integration of the diversity of research objects and methods into a complex analytic strategy. In order to analyse the set of signification, communication, representation and translation mechanisms as meaning-generation, there will be united three areas of semiotic analysis: (1) semiotics of culture, (2) sociosemiotics, and (3)semiotics of nature. The empirical material of the project forms of chronotopical identities in culture, society and nature. |
