Language of Tomorrow (eBook, ePUB)

Towards a Transcultural Visual Communication System in a Posthuman Condition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Language of Tomorrow gives an overview of the development of the evolution of language through a philosophical lens, and is a culmination of research combining visual communication, semiotic theory, cultural studies, linguistics, artificial intelligence and new media. It is a comprehensive guide to the history, evolution and current forms of pictographic communication, from Mesopotamian writing systems to emojis.

Highly relevant in today's discussion about globalization, language, culture and technology, Haytham Nawar discusses the future of communication - through a pictographic framework - and the possibility of developing a standardized universal pictographic communication system that fosters mutual understanding and bridges diverse cultures. Looking at past, present and future, this book aims to locate the direction that research and development of a universal language for the posthuman era could take.
