International Conference
CEPESE – Centro de Estudos em Economia, População e Sociedade Universidade do Porto
Call for papers
Introduction
Fashion is a phenomenon that crosses cultural and social contexts and, nowadays, it is a truly global economic activity.
Human beings need something new: it is at the same time an outer stimulus and an inner will to move forward, to make things happen and to be dazzled. Only the human being can create and needs fashion.
Creativity and innovation have always been present since the birth of fashion and intersect several sectors of activity: industries, handicraft and services.
Due to its global relevance, we believe it is important to invite researchers and professionals to meet and exchange their knowledge and experience on the field of Fashion.

Zoosemiotics and animal representations
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE “ZOOSEMIOTICS AND ANIMAL REPRESENTATIONS”
Tartu, Estonia. 4–8 April 2011.
Zoosemiotics is an interdisciplinary research program introduced by an American semiotician Thomas A. Sebeok in the 1960s with the aim to merge semiotics and ethology and to launch semiotic studies of animal communication. The foundational idea in zoosemiotics is that relations between animals and their environment as well as between different individuals are not purely physical, but are to a large extent sign-mediated. This gives a significant role to the animal subjects, and recognizes more as well as higher forms of complexity in animals than previously assumed. A lot has happened since the concept of zoosemiotics was proposed: the rise of biosemiotics and cognitive ethology are two among the many important developments in the field of animal communication studies.

Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics
Call for Papers
The Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics is a peer reviewed journal covering all aspects of the graphic novel, comic strip and comic book, with the emphasis on comics in their cultural, institutional and creative contexts. Its scope is interdisciplinary and international, covering not only English language comics but also worldwide comic culture. The journal reflects interdisciplinary research in comics and aims to establish a dialogue between academics, historians, theoreticians and practitioners of comics. It therefore examines comics production and consumption within the contexts of culture: art, cinema, television and new media technologies. The journal includes all forms of ‘sequential imagery’ including precursors of the comic but in the main emphasis will be on twentieth and twenty-first century examples, reflecting the increasing interest in the modern forms of the comic, its production and cultural consumption.
