23/05/2016 — 26/05/2016,
The 3rd International Congress on Numanities (ICoN) will be organised by the International Semiotics Institute ISI and held in Kaunas, Lithuania, from the 23rd to the 26th of May, 2016. The congress theme is PROCESSES, MAPS, NARRATIVES. The theme stems from the awareness that plenty of humanistic practices seem to have switched their main focus from “result” to “process”. This is for instance the case with arts, where the concepts of “preparation”, “making of”, “work in progress” are becoming more and more central in the development and implementation of the artwork. But it is the whole society that seems to have adopted an “open kitchen” principle as the predominant way of understanding and experiencing its many practices.
