Web of Scientific Journal

As the closing activity of our Varieties of Information project and the inaugural activity of our new The Representational Penumbra project (website in preparation), Marc Artiga and Manolo Martínez are guest editing a special issue of the journal THEORIA, on representations in cognitive science.

Some of the papers in this special issue will come from talks given by researchers at a workshop organized in Barcelona last September; some of the authors that have provisionally agreed to contribute to the issue are:

* Zoe Drayson (UC Davis)
* Frances Egan (Rutgers University)
* Stephen Mann (Universitat de Barcelona)
* Manolo Martínez (Universitat de Barcelona)
* Marcin Miłkowski (Polish Academy of Science)
* Dimitri Coelho Mollo and Raphaël Millière (Umeå University and Columbia University)
* Nina Poth (Ruhr-Universität Bochum)

We are looking for 3 more contributions to this special issue. Suitable topics, among many others, include:

* What is the role of representations in the sciences of the mind (including neuroscience, psychology, behavioral ecology, etc.)?
* What can representationalist and anti-representationalist approaches to cognition learn from one another?
* What is the relation between the formal tools employed, for example, in computational neuroscience to uncover representations, and the theories of representations advanced by philosophers of cognitive science?

Your contributions (full papers, anonymized, of no more than 10000 words, with an abstract of no more than 300 words) should be submitted through the THEORIA online submissions manager, selecting the option "Special Issue: Representations in Cognitive Science", before September 11, 2023.

If you are unsure whether your projected contribution would be on-topic, or if you have any other questions or comments, please do not hesitate to reach out to Manolo Martínez (manolomartinez@ub.edu) or Marc Artiga (marc.artiga@uv.es).
