SSA Annual Conference 2025
“The Semiotics of Friendship” is the theme of the 49th Semiotic Society of America (SSA) Annual Conference, hosted by Charles University. The 2025 SSA Conference will be in-person, with support for a limited amount of on-line participation. The Conference will assemble a unique group of international transdisciplinary experts from a wide range of disciplines, such as anthropology, biology, cognitive science, communication, cybernetics, design, fine arts, law, literary criticism, linguistics, logic, marketing, media studies, mathematics, pedagogy, philosophy, psychology, religion, sociology, and technology.
This will be the SSA’s first Annual Conference ever to be held outside of the Americas, and the enthusiasm of Charles University in hosting this event is indeed a tribute to the semiotic awareness of its scholars.Participants
