ABOUT TARTU SEMIOTICS SUMMER SCHOOL

Tartu Summer School of Semiotics is a series of gatherings that brings together representatives of semiotics and related disciplines with the aim to provide an environment to converse about core issues in semiotics that are of disciplinary as well as transdisciplinary relevance. It revives the tradition of Kääriku Summer Schools of Semiotics held by Tartu-Moscow School of Semiotics. As its forerunner, the Tartu Summer School of Semiotics is a gathering that aspires to promote dialogue between scholars and synthesis between approaches.

TSSS 2019: Semiotic dimensions of spaces & literacies

 

Tartu Summer School of Semiotics 2019 – Semiotic dimensions of spaces & literacies –  took place August 17-19, 2019 in Tartu. The topic of TSSS 2019 was inspired by Juri Lotman’s proposition that the primary semiotic dualism lies in the duplication of the world in language and the duplication of the human in space. The discussion was on perception of space and spatial metalanguages – how models of space facilitate making sense of nature, society and culture as living environments.
