ABSTRACT: |
|
|
The evolution of society – vulgo the progress of society – has to deal with the semiotic dilemma that everything (potentially) conveys meaning (C.S. Peirce), but only can be referred to as a sign, if it can be interpreted as such (U. Eco). Now what does this mean for the progress of society? How can we make sure, that the New, the Unknown and the so far Unthought actually can be interpreted? And how can we ensure that every society in the world has this accomplishment to interpret? There are good reasons to look into the contradiction of ancient human communicative and cognitive faculties and the rapid – primarily technical – progress. Mainly we should focus on the following two aspects: On the one hand, how can we communicate the New as unprecedented? And how do we have to create the circumstances of communication so that the New can be generated and can be realised? There will be a special focus on communication of future and time, the filtering and perception of warning signals and on the specific terms and codes of technology and technics. On the other hand there is one question that should concern us: Is there an innovation of communication, and in special in the human communicative faculty? What is behind the nowadays already old key word New Media or the recently becoming more popular Web2.0? Does technology change the process of semiosis and cognition for instance in the virtual world? This is addressed to scientists and practitioner who work in the fields of innovation marketing, public relations, advertising, media and communication science, and explicit to semioticians, linguists, of course to psychologists and philosophers, and last but not least to technicians, engineers and computer scientists, who have to think about the communication of innovation. |
