\n18-20 September 2021 Wrocław-Jelenia Gó\;ra (Poland)
\n\nWe invite you to participate in the 3rd \;International Conference «\;Modern Culture and Communication\, MCC-2021»\;\,which is going to be held at the University of Wrocław and at the \;Karkonosze State School of Higher Education\,September 18-20\, 2021. The conference is organized by the University of Wroclaw\, KPSW\, CBIFK (Poland) and St. Petersburg State University (Russia). The working language of the conference is English. \;
\nThe purpose of the conference is to discuss topical issues of cultural transformation in the context of developing ways of communication\, which are the product of the modern information society. The target audience includes researchers of trends in the development of various aspects of the culture of modern society\, university professors\, employees of research organizations\, graduate students and students. \;
\n\nIn 2021\, the main topic \;of the conference is \;"Thought and Image". \;
\nThe problem of relation between thoughts and images is one of the most difficult to deal with in the history of thought and in the modern scientific disciplines. It concerns one of the most important and nodal areas of human activity\, the relationship between the processes of imagination and thinking\, understanding and action\, perception and ideas\, orientation in the environment and impact on it. If contemporary culture is becoming more and more a visual culture\, the closer to the understanding of the image\, imaging and imageries becomes all the more important in an attempt to define changes in social reality\, the role of an individual in these changes and their impact on it. The relations between thinking\, language\, concept and the image were understood very differently - from the refutation of the meaning of the image\, the critique of the role of figurative forms in cognitive acts in favor of the domination of meanings grasped in concepts\, to noticing the inalienable potential and matrixing of the image for all cognition and human being in the world in general. Nowadays\, visual and verbal codes are seen in their autonomy\, but also in their interaction\, the overlapping of activities of various modules of the human mind in the processes of orientation in the environment and influencing it. The image is therefore crucial for the operation of memory\, imagination\, creating autobiographical memory\, cultural memory as records of experiences\, it influences thinking and it creates certain forms of thinking. It was researched both in philosophy itself and in many other disciplines - psychology (coding of experiences)\, ethnology\, anthropology (culture-forming activity)\, sociology\, social philosophy (visual sociology\, the role of social imaginaries).
