12th World Congress of Semiotics in Sofia.
Just come back from the fair Sofia (Bulgaria) where it has been held the 12th world congress of semiotics.
Between the many presentations I'ld like to mention three of the most relevant for Game Studies:
Maria Katsaridou: Adaptation of videogames into films: the adventures of narrative, an interesting parallel analysis of Resident Evil games and films.
Hiroshi Yoshida: Early Decades of Video Game Culture in Japan, an original insight on Japaneese videogames focusing on digital games' and gadgets' affordances.
Simon Levesque: Semiotics of Play: the origin of 'flights of fancy' according to Henri Labori, a cognitive approach to playfulness linking abstraction and play in the work of the French physician.
As for me, I'll soon upload my presentation on Semiotics of Toys!
Meanwhile, here you can find our big smiotic family!
