The 2013 General Assembly of NASS

On May 30th in Aarhus, during the Eight Conference of the Nordic Association for Semiotic Studies (NASS), the General Assembly of NASS was held. I had been asked to chair the elections, and did so. In the past two years I have among other things served as Webmaster (at times one of two) and as one of two newsletter editors.

I renominated as secretary of NASS, and as Ordinary Representative for Norway, and was reelected along with most of the rest of the board. Sara Lenninger was elected Treausurer, replacing Göran Sonesson, and also replace him as Sweden's Ordinary Representative, accompanied by Aleksei Semenenko as Alternative Representative. Furthermore Søren Brier replaces Kristian Tylén (the Aarhus conference convenor) as Denmark's Alternative Representative. Luis Emilio Bruni was reelected as President.

Elected as secretary of NASS

NASS, the Nordic Association for Semiotic Studies, held its general assembly during its seventh conference, which took place in Lund, Sweden, May 6-8. The general assembly took place Saturday May 7th. Göran Sonesson stepped back as president and is now treasurer, whereas Luis Emilio Bruni of Denmark is our new president. I was elected as secretary of NASS, plus ordinary national representative of Norway (Torill Strand was elected as suppletant in this role).

These roles will likely remain for two years, until the next conference of NASS is arranged (in either Denmark or Estonia).
