While we are waiting for #4 to leave press (it should be anytime now), we should announce that members of the editorial board will be presenting papers at the upcoming 34th Annual Meeting of the Semiotic Society of America, taking place in Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 15-18.

Session 1 is Friday 16 October: 14:00 -15:30

Session 2 is Saturday 17 October: 10:15 – 12:15

We hope to see some of you there!

Welcome to the news blog for Cognitive Semiotics – a new peer-reviewed journal for international science and the humanities. Here we will provide information about the journal, its themes and publication progress, as well as offer information on future subscription offers and call for papers, and the like – so remember to check back regularly!

The first issue, due for publication in April 2007, bears the theme “Agency” and contains articles by Shaun Gallagher, Merlin Donald, Rick Grush, Søren Overgaard & Thor Grünbaum, Kristian Tylén, and Mikkel Holm Sørensen & Tom Ziemke.

This inaugural issue will in turn celebrate the successful transition from being a locally based endeavour at Aarhus University, Denmark to becoming a true international journal with prominent editorial board members positioned on both sides of the Atlantic; in Denmark at the University of Aarhus and the University of Copenhagen, and in the United States at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The latter will also serve as the official future home for the journal.

More info will follow as the journal and our international cooperation progresses. This is just a short welcome to let you know of our existence and, hopefully, to spark your interest in our journal!
