We in the editorial office are delighted to invite you to the release party for nr. 7 «Symbol»!
In this edition, we explore humanity’s ability to use symbols, a trait that dates back to our earliest ancestors. Through texts ranging from 73,000-year-old ochre drawings to the symbolism of the equilateral cross (swastika), RISS nr. 7 offers a fascinating insight into how we have communicated ideas, beliefs, and identity throughout history.
This issue features contributions from professors and students both from UiB and beyond, including articles, poetry, illustrations with commentary, and a book review.
We hope to see many of you at the release party, let us know if you’re coming on facebook!
