Welcome to the homepage of the Nordic Association for Semiotic Studies

The Nordic Association for Semiotic Studies (NASS) was founded in 1987 during a meeting in Imatra, Finland, and has as of today arranged seven international conferences. After a period of hibernation we are now in the process of refounding NASS as an organization, and launching a regular newsletter.

25 year anniversary symposium

In June 2012 a 25 year anniversary symposium will be arranged in Imatra, as part of the 27 International Summer School for Semiotic and Structural Studies. The theme of the symposium is Nordic Semiotic Paradigms – NASS 25 years: Where do Cognitive, Bio- and Existential Semiotics Meet? Active participants – i.e., participants presenting papers, must register by April 15th.

Webmasters: Kristian Tylén and Morten Tønnessen (post@nordicsemiotics.org).
