Our ability of developing a “semiotic sphere” allows and leads us to perceive the hidden knots relating and unifying phenomena in nature and culture despite diversities, differences and divides. </span></div><div align="justify"><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" >If difference is “of two kinds as opposed either to identity or resemblance” – according to David Hume –, mainly denoting the quality or condition of being not the same; if diversity is the condition/form or structure of being different as the result of a process of becoming diversified; if divide sets a boundary between systems, interests, opinions within the process of creating varieties in the world of signs, then it is from the multiplicity of these three ds (diversities, differences, divides) that there arises something like the consciousness of the unifying role played by signs, a role which “has endured” through all the fast changes of life experiences and through the changing dimensions of the world. The circumscribing of the three ds within semiotics’ unifying power of creativity reveals the gradual transformation of the horizontality (two-dimensional) of signification into a multiple-layered verticality (constructed on the three-dimensionality of the sign) of an identity signifying act. Such a change makes visible not only the symbolic action of bringing signs into existence/being, but also the web of relations establishing themselves both temporally and spatially (in a palimpsestic way), as far as unifying presupposes an action of discovering, of identifying and of communicating the existence of multiplicity into O/one coherent whole. Thus, communication does no longer mean an encoding-decoding process of interpersonal messages only; it builds and bridges up a complex process of conveying thoughts, of manipulating opinions, of negotiating feelings etc. between different “(semiotic) animals” belonging to various worlds, to (other possible) spaces and times, all of them conceived in terms of imagining, innovating and creating at multiple transmodern levels.<br /></span><br /><strong>A.

The increased cultural complexity of the global(izing/ized) world, which seems to be the raison d’être for “trans-”prefixed domains of action has turned into fertile ground for cross-breeding between several areas of research, such as management, communication studies, marketing and semiotics.<br />How can transborder exchanges come to terms with processes within borders, how do international power relations influence structures mapped within frontiers, how can differences, varieties etc. be decoded and understood, how can communication be conducted in a “networld” where everything is produced and interpreted at a global level? How can the “relational dynamism” of this new (transcultural) “netocracy” be communicated and controlled? What is its new rhetoric like?<br />These are just few questions to be debated upon during the 2nd ROASS international conference “Transmodernity: Managing Global Communication”. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">The papers can be defended in <strong>English</strong>, <strong>French</strong>, or <strong>Romanian</strong>.<br /><br /></div><div align="right">Doina Cmeciu</div><div align="right">Traian D.

Importanţa crescândă a semioticii va necesita instituţionalizarea acesteia, deoarece, la această dată, încă nu avem în lume o catedra de semiotica. Un prim pas a fost făcut in Romania, prin crearea Asociaţiei Române de Studii Semiotice, care are sediul la Bacău si căreia îi doresc succese depline. Importanţa rămâne comunicarea, intrarea în dialog cu ceilalţi membri ai comunităţii, împărţirea unor standarde comune atât de cercetare, cât şi de validare a rezulatelor cercetării. Semiotica este o cale a rezolvării acestora" [...].
