Held in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy
25–28 November, 2024
The 8th Image Schema Day is an interdisciplinary workshop devoted to cognitive primitives, spatial reasoning, embodied cognition, analogical reasoning and investigations of the puzzle pieces of mind. The main topic is on image schemas, which were introduced as the generalised cognitive patterns learned from embodied experience by which humans use to reason and make sense of the world’s perceptions and expressions.
A truly interdisciplinary workshop, we invite contribution from a range of scientific, professional and artistic domains. This means that we invite researchers from linguistics, psychology, computer science, philosophy, humanities, artists and practitioners to submit their work and participate in the workshop. Our only requirement is that the core focus are on image schemas, cognitive patterns and conceptual primitives.
All contribution will be peer-reviewed by an international program committee of experts on the field. All accepted publications will be submitted for publication in CEUR-WS proceedings as per standard at ISD. See previous workshops and proceedings here:
