Below is the info on submissions and deadlines from the conference webpage
from 'program'.
Myself and some colleagues from Helsinki (Jussi Silvonen, Tarja Knuuttila,
Sami Paavola) have been planning to propose a symposium for Theme A/6.
semiotic mediation and meaning construction. This is a continuation of the
Finnish Iscar meeting last December, and especially the theory/methodology
stream that we participated in. Following that conference we are working
with such broad title as 'new forms of mediation'. Tarja has been doining
philosophical work on representations as epistemic artefacts, Sami has been
working on Peirce and trialogicality, Jussi has been doing close reading of
LSV Collected works and has been studying the unfolding research program of
LSV, and I have been working on an empirical case looking at a local
policy/governance model as a conceptual/material artefact transforming the
practices of information service provision in Finland.
In case someone on xmca would like to join us in building such a
symposium/double symposium proposal already at this preliminary stage please
send an e-mail to me jonna.kangasoja who-is-at helsinki.fi. We will send a more
focused invitation to contribute to the symposium a little later.

-------
A proposal can be submitted for:
a paper that corresponds to one of the congress themes or subthemes.
a poster that corresponds to one of the (sub) themes of the congress.
a symposium that corresponds to one of the (sub) themes of the congress.
All papers will be organised in symposium sessions.
A symposium is allotted one hour and a half or two hours and contains 3 or
4 paper presentations followed by 45 minutes of plenary discussion. The
organisers strongly encourage participants to propose new and interactive
symposium formats: in addition to the regular paper symposium, one could
also think about organising a poster symposium, an interactive symposium
(papers have to be distributed and studied before participation), a point-
counterpoint symposium (two radically opposite papers are presented and
discussed). The program will promote regional meetings for different ISCAR
sections.
