Research Group for Cultural Iconology and Semiography

Researchers working in the fields of iconography, iconology and semiotics founded the Research Group for Cultural Iconology and Semiography under the auspices of the English Department of the University of Szeged in 2001. The interdisciplinary program of the group is grounded in the long-standing research of tradition-based cultural representations (such as the work of the “Warburg School”), and in the poststructuralist theories of visual representation and the postsemiotics of the speaking subject. It programmatically aims at uniting the traditions of semiotic and iconographic studies and various related workshops that have been functioning in association with the Faculty of Arts at the University of Szeged for several decades now.
