CFP REMINDER AND SCHEDULE UPDATE:

Pragmatism and Communication

Place: University of Helsinki
Date: 3-5 June, 2014

>From the sign-theoretical approach of C. S. Peirce to the pragmatic
analyses of Robert Brandom, matters of communication have figured
prominently in pragmatist thought. Beginning with John Dewey and Robert E.
Park, pragmatism has also directly influenced communication scholarship;
and interest in pragmatist ideas iscurrently on the rise in media and
communication studies.

But what roles does 'communication' actually play in pragmatisms of various
stripes? What are the distinctive contributions of pragmatism to our
understanding and study of communication?

This three-day interdisciplinary conference aims to explore these and
closely connected questions. The organisers welcome proposals for papers
discussing any aspect of the relationship between pragmatism and
communication, ranging from philosophical discussions of the nature and
scope of communication to applications of pragmatist ideas in communication
studies.

Please note the updated schedule: the conference dates have been extended
to 3-5 June. The program is planned to begin on the afternoon of the first
day, enabling arrival early on 3 June.
