Semiofest Porto 2024
Porto Semiofest was the mastermind of two Semiofest regulars Sonia Marques and Susanna Franek. The theme for the conference was liminality, Victor Turner’s core concepts of being betwixt and in between. The topic inspired a deluge of varied submissions and we were able to select 22 top papers for the conference. Presentations covered everything from personal ritual of transportation to critical perspectives on transitions we all have to face such as that of artificial intelligence.
