According to a decision of the Board of the ÖGS/AAS, its 11th International Symposium is to take place as a complement to the research project "Public Construction of Europe (PCE)" (in the research focus New Orientations in Democracy in Europe NODE of the Austrian Ministry of Education, Science, and Culture), carried out by the Institute for Political Science, University of Vienna, under the direction of Andreas Pribersky, and in cooperation with the ISSS. Due to the connection between ISSS and ÖGS/AAS it seemed recommended to dedicate the ÖGS/AAS symposium this time to a topic closely related to PCE, to warrant and intensify PCE's culture-theoretical and culture-analytical embedding. Semiotics considers and examines cultural phenomena, structures and processes on the basis of the analytical hierarchy "signs-texts-cultures." The approach of the ISSS is moreover not a formalistic one but focuses particularly on the sociality and historicity of sign systems and sign processes (communications, discourses...) and stresses the social relevance of semiotic research, what means: also its polit/olog/ical aspects. Therefore, the symposium follows, on the one hand, the presuppositions given by the PCE project, which are: to reconstruct references to underlying cultural patterns, made in political advertising and campaigns on European integration and enlargement, that select a framework for political discourse and influence the political views and perspectives of the civic societies involved; to reconstruct how political campaigns and advertisements concerning the promotion of Europeanization and EU enlargement have been perceived by the citizens, and to critically describe current conceptualizations of the citizens and the civic society in these political campaigns; to advance and disseminate knowledge about, and to initiate a reflexive public discussion on these topics. On the other hand, it is the particular task of this symposium to explore the cultural deep-dimensions of the problems under examination, and to provide a culture-theoretically founded as well as well-exemplified embedding in societal coherences at large. The results will be published. |
