OLSON\nKeynote Speaker</p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Conference Aims and Topics</strong></p>\n<p>The conference is to provide a platform for an interdisciplinary \ndiscussion of the interrelations between culture\, cognition and \ncommunication\, with special attention to the cultural and cognitive \nroles of the media. Anthropologists\, communication studies researchers\, \nsociologists\, psychologists\, philosophers and cognitive scientists are \nencouraged to challenge ideas concerning the cognitive and cultural \nfunctions of communication\, language and media &ndash\; thereby building upon \nthe work of such scholars as Innis\, McLuhan\, Goody\, Havelock\, Ong and \nOlson. Of particular interest are submissions that explore the \ninterrelations between cognitive science and theories of media and \ncommunications\, which might be pursued from any of a number of \ntheoretical positions\, including: media ecology\, medium theory and \nliteracy-orality theory\, speech-act theory\, critical discourse analysis\,\n semiotics of culture\, theory of communicative action and communicology.</p>\n<p>Topics on which we would like to focus during conference include:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Conceptual\, methodological and theoretical problems faced by\n theories of media and communication &ndash\; technological determinism\, \ncognitive relativism\, ethnocentrism\, etc.</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Media versus cultural practices</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Semiotic analyses of language\, speech\, discourse</strong>\, metaphor\, etc.</li>\n<li><strong>The cognitive perspective on communication phenomena </strong></li>\n<li><strong>Thinking through language\, tools\, instruments\, information technologies and media</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Media and extended mind &nbsp\;(situated cognition)</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Human-computer communication </strong></li>\n<li><strong>Modes and models of rationality in media\, communication undertakings and environments</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Cognitive Science in a historical perspective: logical \nempiricism and its contribution to understanding of language and \ncommunication</strong></li>\n<li><strong>Intercultural perspectives on communication &ndash\; contrastive \nstudies on media and discourse\, global communication studies\, \nintercultural clashes and misunderstandings</strong></li>\n</ul>\n<p>ORGANIZERS:</p>\n<p><strong>Faculty of Philosophy and Sociology</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Marie Curie-Sklodowska University</strong><strong>\, Poland</strong><strong></strong></p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp\;and<br> </strong></p>\n<p><strong>Institute</strong><strong> of Polish</strong><strong> Culture</strong></p>\n<p><strong>University of Warsaw</strong><strong>\, Poland</strong><strong></strong></p>\n<p><strong>and<br> </strong></p>\n<p><strong>Polish Society for Cognitive Science</strong></p>
