The New Semiotics

- Transdisciplinary insight as the way to renew our understanding of communication and our ability to manage knowledge

Conference at the Department of International Culture and Communication Studies/ The Center for Language, Cognition and Mentality

Moving from the information society to the knowledge society, we are forced to leave the old version of the information based cognitive science behind us. The aim is to develop a broader and more evolutionary framework for the development of cognition, communication and knowledge in a global setting. The new semiotics is used to gain a deeper understanding of knowledge management than used in the present logicistic, formalistic and computerized models in business, engineering and other forms of computerized knowledge management
