Semiotics continues to extend! It was an insightful experience to be a part of La Sémiotique Étendue conference of the Société d'histoire et d'épistémologie des sciences du langage (SHESL) & Société française de Zoosémiotique, @upcite.bsky.social

I was glad to participate in the conference Future of Russia — the Role of Critical Voices at the Czech Parliament with A. Garmazhapova, V. Milov, A. Pivovarov, and A. Shary.

It was also great to see P. Havlíček and E. Romanovskiy present their study from @ideasforrussia.bsky.social Futures Lab.
