This interdisciplinary conference, organized within the ambit of the EPISTRAN project, investigates the semiotic processes (verbal and nonverbal) involved in the transfer of information between different ‘epistemic systems’. Its focus are the transactions occurring between western science (the hegemonic knowledge of the globalized world, which purports to be objective, rational, and universal) and the various embedded, embodied and subjective forms of knowledge that have served as its Others in different times and places.
Proposals for 20-minute papers (<250 words) should be sent by 1st September 2023 to email@epistran.org, accompanied by a short biosketch (<150 words). Results of the selection process will be announced by 15th September.
