- On November 7th Professor Yannis Skarpelos was re-elected as an acting member of the Hellenic Semiotics Society (HSS). The Society was founded in 1978 at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Its multidisciplinary membership includes researchers from almost all of the twenty-four public Greek Universities. The Society is a member of the International Association for Semiotic Studies and the Balkan Association for Semiotic Studies. It also collaborates closely with the Southeast European Centre for Semiotic Studies at the New Bulgarian University of Sofia (the Department of Communication, Media and Culture has also an Erasmus+ agreement with NBU_, and Cyprus’ Semiotic Circle). The Hellenic Semiotics Society is generally characterized by its sustained focus on semiotics as an analytical-critical approach to current socio-cultural processes and phenomena. The work of Professor Skarpelos is part of this socio-cultural focus. The distinctive semiotic perspective of HSS has been cited in international literature as the “Greek School” or the “School of Thessaloniki”, and was grouped with the “Anglo-Australian School”, the “School of Bari”, the “Finnish School”, the “School of Tartu” and the “School of Vienna”.
