Intensive course: All classes held

The last three days I have taught the second half of my intensive course "Semiotics and phenomenology" (6 hours of teaching). Attendance has been lower than in the first round, but the level of the attending students has been very high, so discussions have been spot on.

The topics in this round have been:
1) Heidegger and his reading of Uexküll
2) Merleau-Ponty and his reading of Uexküll
3) Naturalized phenomenology (Zahavi); and semiotic causation (based in part on David Wood's paper "What is ecophenomenology?")

The concluding research paper is due May 31st.
