\nOverview
\nThis Special Issue was initially conceived as the outcome publication of the main works and results presented in the Conference &ldquo\;Modelling and Representation. How to Make Word(s) with Symbols&rdquo\; (University of the Basque Country\, UPV/EHU\, December 2015). \;
\nThe conference aimed to contribute to the current debate on scientific representation by exploring some departures from the mainstream view on the subject. Under such a mainstream view the represented images in scientific representations are determined by reference to imposed conditions or features of a world taken as external and pre-existing with respect to the representational function itself. In contrast\, the conference intended to approach the issue from a different perspective\, focusing on views that take representation as performative function. Such views have its roots in the works of philosophers such as Cassirer\, Carnap or Goodman in the first half of the 20th Century\, who provided a fresh look into the question as to how scientific representation is to be understood. \;
\nThis Special Issue therefore shall make particular emphasis on scientific practices that put into question the most \;common views on scientific representation by suggesting that representation has a strong performative \;and constitutive character and that it involves to some extent the making of worlds. Topics discussed shall include the following: \;
