Subject: 2nd European Conference on Music Analysis
SECOND EUROPEAN CONFERENCE OF MUSIC ANALYSIS
TRENTO (ITALY) 24-27 OCTOBER 1991
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
The conference has been organized by the Group for the Analysis
and Theory of Music (GATM), the Accademia Filarmonica Trentina
and the University of Trento. It takes up and continues the
work of the conference organized at Colmar in 1989 by the
Societe Francaise d'Analyse Musicale. It proposes to
discuss above all several problems which have emerged in
research during the past few years, ones which the classical
tradition of analysis has so far touched upon only marginally.
The conference will also take account of the fact that
analysis is not solely the preserve of specialist
expertise, but is an indispensible instrument of knowledge in
all sectors of musical activity. The programme will take the
following form:

Subject: Conference: Semiotics of Law
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE SEMIOTICS OF LAW
ASSOCIATION INTERNATIONALE DE SEMIOTIQUE JURIDIQUE
7TH INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM
August 14th-17th 1991
Utrecht, The Netherlands
The colloquium will be held at the Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht at Utrecht,
Holland, commencing at 14.00 on the 14th and concluding at 13.00 on the
17th August.
Utrecht, with its architectural and artistic heritage, is close to
Amsterdam. Participants arriving at Schiphol airport can take a train
(approx. 30 minutes) directly to Utrecht.
Participants who wish to travel on to the IVR Conference in Gottingen
will have sufficient time get there either by train or aeroplane.
Didactic Seminar
The first 24 hours of the Colloquium will be devoted to a didactic
seminar, at which invited speakers will offer analyses, each from the
viewpoint of one of the main approaches within contemporary semiotics, of
pre-circulated extracts from the European Convention on Human Rights.
The theme of the rest of the conference will be:
THE SEMIOTIC WEB OF LAW
CALL FOR PAPERS
Law and facts are not "given", but constructed in discourse. This
assumption seems to widely held among present-day legal theorists, and,
more broadly speaking, among legal semioticians. The creation of meaning
in legal discourse is a process of interaction between a variety of
signs.
Many of these signs are of a linguistic nature, but visual and other
signs of various sorts play their part as well. This is obvious for
Anglo-Saxon legal practice, with its emphasis on orality and directness.
A trial before a jury is not just an exchange of linguist utterances; it
is a total event.
In the civil-law tradition, with its mostly written procedures and the
absence of a jury, the role of linguistic signs in the creation of
meaning seems to be more prominent. However it would be misleading to
suggest that non-linguistic signs do not come into play here.
Continental European judges may not wear wigs, but they do wear robes.
These different sorts of sign (cultural, historical, linguistic, etc.)
that create meaning in legal discourse form what has been called a
semiotic web. Legal semiotics then becomes the discipline of analyzing
the semiotic web and determining how it produces what we call "law" and
"facts".
For the August 1991 IASL colloquium at Utrecht, papers which fit within
the above theme will be welcome. Please send an abstract to Prof. Dr.
Paul J. van den Hoven, Vakgroep Nederlands, Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht ,
3512 JK Utrecht, The Netherlands, Tel: 31-30-394093 or 394000; FAX
31-30-333380, to arrive no later than 1st April 1991. Full texts will
be required by 1st June 1991, for production in a pre-conference booklet.
