Groundbreaking in its international, interdisciplinary, and
multi-professional approach to diversity and inclusion in higher
education, this volume puts theory in conversation with practice,
articulates problems, and suggests deep-structured strategies from
multiple perspectives including performed art, education,
dis/ability studies, institutional as well as government policy,
health humanities, history, jurisprudence, psychology, race and
ethnicity studies, and semiotic theory. The authors-originating
from Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Trinidad, Turkey, and the US-
invite readers to join the conversation and sustain the work.

Korea is still a divided country that apparently never found its
way out of the Cold War. The differences between the socialist
North, which follows a dynastic leadership cult, and the capitalist
South, with its developed democracy, could hardly be greater.
Encompassing all areas of life, this divergence is also reflected
in the art of the two countries: through the vibrant contemporary
art scene in South Korea and the socialist-realist tradition of
painting in North Korea, two diametrically opposed artistic
attitudes exist in parallel, reflecting the incompatibility of the
political systems and the stark differences in the way of life of
the populations. To mark the exhibition of both North and South
Korean works from the Sigg Collection at the Kunstmuseum Bern, a
comprehensive, richly illustrated catalogue is being published,
which sheds light upon the theme of the border in contemporary
Korean art from both sides.
The title of our volume on interdisciplinary semiotics is situated
in a geographical metaphor and points to the possibility of
uncovering meanings through shifting perspectives as well as to the
possibility of understanding how these various modes of meaning are
articulated and framed in particular cultural instances. Regardless
of medium, semiotic rotations permit play between the surface and
underlying levels of a communication, reveal the relationship
between open and closed systems of signification, and modulate
shades of meaning caught between the visible and invisible.
Readerly play in these sets of apparent oppositions reveals that
the less each pairing is held to be a coupling of oppositions and
the more they are observed through perspectives gained by semiotic
rotations, then the more complex and rich the modes of meaning may
become.
