The\u00a0Eleventh Annual International Gathering in Biosemiotics will be held from June 21 to June 26, 2011 at the Rockefeller University for Biomedical Research in New York City, USA. The Gathering is organized by the Dactyl Foundation in collaboration with the\u00a0International Society for Biosemiotic Studies<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Biosemiotics is an interdiscipline that seeks naturalistic understandings of mentalistic phenomena, grounded in biology, and, in turn, seeks understandings of biological processes in terms of a general semiotics.<\/p>\r\n

What can be learned about human semiosis, interpretation, communication, creativity and meaning-making by studying less complex but analogous phenomena in cellular signaling, chemotaxis, zoosemiotics, embryonic development, or the immune system? Can the pervasive metaphoric usages of chemical \u201cmessage,\u201d genetic \u201cinformation,\u201d and \u00a0\u201dsignaling\u201d in contemporary biology be defined more precisely by taking them literally?\u00a0While human symbolic representation may be species-specific\u2013or at least unique to unusually big-brained animals\u2013it must have emerged out of less complex semiotic processes and\u00a0proto-semiotic processes.\u00a0\u00a0What are the antecedents of human semiosis? And how can the exploration of these antecedents help bridge the unnatural gap between body and mind that was imposed centuries ago more for religious than scientific reasons? Participants from various fields in the sciences and humanities will explore these and other questions at the June gathering. All are welcome to attend.<\/p>\r\n
