added a new section on the website

We are very happy to announce that a new section has been added on umweb.org. It's called "lectures" and it includes papers from congresses, academic lectures, interviews and other stuff that might be useful for your semiotic research or interests.
They will be in either .pdf format, or - more intriguingly - in RealPlayer streaming.
We start with a bunch of papers presented in the International Semiotics Institute Congress of Imatra (Finland) in 2005.
Check it out!

ANOTHER NEW UMWEB PUBLICATION!!!

Finland-Italy: a few comparisons

ed. by Dario Martinelli and Lina Navickaite

Cultural exchange and reciprocal artistic influence have often been a leitmotif in the relation between Finland and Italy. This book focuses on five cases, chosen among the least predictable ones, with a general preference for comparative analyses. Such cases include the fields of visual arts, music, popular culture, sports, advertising and anthrozoology. The wish is to give a little more impulse to a field of inquiry that experiences the paradox of being extremely lively and rich on the one hand, and so relatively little explored on the other.
