III SYMPOSIUM OF THE GALICIA SEMIOTIC ASSOCIATION


 

The IV International Semiotic Latinamerican Federation Congress is dedicated to think about the fascinating challenge of what is now inmenent, the End of the Millennium. This will be 
celebrated  in Galicia (Spain) between the 27th of September and the 2nd of October 1999.

Due to the proximity of such an historical and chronological event, as is considered the end of the 20th Century and the second christianity millennium; we intend to rouse an extensive knowledge of significance and repercussions at this particular moment: an inflection on the history of human culture, changes of ethical and aesthetic thinking, such as  possible changes in human and scientific paradigms, going through the modern era to enter the postmodernity,
 the final  contemporaneity paradoxical.

To tackle these subjects, specialists from Europe and America have been called together. 

University lecturers, investigators in different semiotic areas, intellectuals and writers have been asked to give their version on masterpieces or thematic subjects which will allow us to think about the matter:
 


 MILLENNIUM - APOCALYPSE - MULTICULTURALISM - DIGITAL AGE AND COMMUNICATION - UTOPIAN UKRAINIAN EXILES - LITERARY CRISIS - END OF  THE NOVEL - AFTER MODERNITY: THEORY CRISIS.
