tradition: Inviting prominent scholars from the community
surrounding the convention site whose work focuses on nonverbal
behavior. Each panelist will talk about some of her current
work. There will also be time for panelists to meet audience
members, w/a goal of creating more interdisciplinary connections
for the study of nonverbal cues.

DEBATE:
Resolved that Nonverbal Communication is a Subset of Semiotics,
featuring Isaac E Catt
(Millersville University),
Ross W. Buck
(Univ of Connecticut, Storrs),
Peter A. Andersen
(San Diego State Univ), and Frank Macke (Mercer
University). Fri, Nov 18 -
6:30pm - 7:45pm Building/Room: Marriott / Hyannis

As a
semiotic phenomenologist, Catt contends that NVC is the proper
subject matter of semiotics. Buck agrees that symbolic NVC can
be classed under semiotics (broadly defined) but contends that
spontaneous NVC does not fall under semiotics because it need
not involve an encoding-decoding process, symbols, propositional
content, or consciousness. Rather, it involves displays-preattunements
and signs, is nonpropositional and nonvoluntary, and may be
unconscious. Therefore, Catt, followed by Frank Macke, will
affirm the proposition, and Buck, followed by Peter Andersen,
will negate it.

This panel features research that analyzes nonverbal cues in
an on-line or virtual environment. The presenters will
discuss the nexus between nonverbal communication and
virtual reality, and some will also demonstrate the impact
of human avatars on online interactions. Brief presentations
will be followed by interaction with the researchers to
continue discussion, see demonstrations, and forward our
understanding of the role nonverbal cues plays on-line.
