Editorial presentation of "I, wolf"

The editorial presentation of my article "I, wolf: The ecology of existence" is to be found on page 14 in the introduction of Ane Faugstad Aarø and Johannes Servan, in Environment, Embodiment and Gender, and reads:
Morten Tønnessen describes in his essay "I, Wolf: The Ecology of Existence" the 'Umwelt' of wolves in Scandinavia, the life conditions that have led to the threat of extinction among wolves, as well as the policies and cultural values that oppose the existence of a very small population of wolves in Scandinavia. The myths of the threats that wolves represent in a community that has been based historically on sheep farming are balanced by Tønnessen's account of the semiotic Umwelt of wolves and their ecological alienation in this area today.
My bionote is on page 338.

Supervision session

Today I met with my supervisor Kalevi Kull for supervision. We discussed my notions of "Umwelt assemblage", "Umwelt alignment" and what I until today called "cloud Umwelten", now renamed "swarm Umwelten". These are the three last Umwelt coinages to emerge in my thesis work, and we discussed possible definitions of each of them. We further discussed my notion of "global species".
