On semiotic (un)predictability: Tartu Summer School of Semiotics 2015

Summary/Abstract: From 17 August to 20 August 2015, the 10th Summer School of Semiotics “Semiotic (un)predictability”, which also hosted the 9th Conference of the Nordic Association for Semiotic Studies3, took place in Tartu, Estonia. The 2015 conference was organized by the Department of Semiotics of the University of Tartu, the Nordic Association for Semiotic Studies and the Estonian Semiotics Association. Tiit Remm (the main organizer), Kalevi Kull, Kristin Vaik, Lauri Linask and Tyler Bennett participated in the work of both the scientific committee (that, besides them, also included Inesa Sahakyan, Luis Emilio Bruni, Morten Tønnessen, Peeter Torop, Sara Lenninger and Timo Maran) and of the organizing team (which also included Katre Pärn, Liina Sieberk and Maarja Vaikmaa). The conference was attended by over a hundred scholars from more than twenty countries, representing various traditions and very different approaches to semiotic studies. Among them, there were many young scholars, who created a particularly joyful intellectual ambiance during the whole four working days – this witnesses to the ever growing interest of the younger generation for semiotics.
