Monthly meeting of the EVWRIT team to discuss and develop a new theoretical perspective towards communication practices in Antiquity.
Once a month from January 2019, the EVWRIT team will meet to discuss and develop a new theoretical perspective towards communication practices in Antiquity.
Theoretical sessions on fundamental aspects of novel methodologies (cognitive sociolinguistics, social semiotics, paléographie signifiante…) will be interchanged with practical ones (doing statistics, showing a database, presenting a paper…).
The reading group is open to anyone interested.
In this reading group session, we will discuss the contents of two scientific articles connected to (social) semiotics:
– Van Leeuwen, T. 2006. ‘Towards a Semiotics of Typography.’ In: Information Design Journal + Document Design 14 (2), pp. 139-155;
– Fournet, J.-L. 2007. ‘Disposition et réalisation graphique des lettres et des pétitions protobyzantines. Pour une paléographie “signifiante” des papyrus documentaires.’ In: Proceedings of the 24th International Congress of Papyrology, Aug 2004, Helsinki, Finland. I, Societas Scientiarum Fennica, Commentationes Humanarum Litterarum 122, pp. 353-367.
