This section will focus on interactions between the modalities of semiosis, which have recently become a topic of interest in sociosemiotics (Kress 2010), film studies (Bate-man/Schmidt 2011), and the general analysis of multimodal documents (Bateman 2008, Jewitt 2009).
We invite submissions for extended abstracts for a thematic panel, “Removing the Mask: Decoloniality in the 21st Century,” to be held during the annual meetings of the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP) in Chicago on August 21-23, 2015. This year, the conference theme is Removing the Mask, Lifting the Veil: Race, Class, and Gender in the 21st Century.
The last decade has witnessed a profound change in the interdisciplinary field of memory studies. Instead of analysing representations of memory in different media, researchers are increasingly paying attention to memory practices, i.e. how people in various sites and contexts negotiate the meanings they ascribe to the past.

2018 is a year to celebrate two important milestones in the history of social semiotics – publication of landmark books in 1978 and 1988. Forty years ago, Michael Halliday issued Language as a Social Semiotic. Ten years after, Robert Hodge and Gunther Kress published Social Semiotics. To mark these two important anniversaries the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University holds the conference Social Science as Social Semiotics as a part of wider research and education program Baltic Modes of Social Semiotics.
