Festschrift to Kalevi Kull referred to in TRAMES article

In the article "Emic conceptualization of a “wild edible plant” in Estonia in the Second Half of the 20th Century", published in TRAMES 19 (64/69, 1) (2015): 15-34, Renata Sõukand and Raivo Kalle refer to Semiotics in the Wild: Essays in Honour of Kalevi Kull on the Occasion of His 60th Birthday (Tartu: Tartu University Press), which was edited with Timo Maran, Kati Lindström, Riin Magnus and myself.

Context (p. 17):

Nature-culture dichotomy has been an important subject in anthropology for quite a long time (Ellen and Fukui 1996, Descola and Pálsson 1996), while perception and categorization of (wild) nature in science and modern society has lately been an actively disputed subject in ecosemiotics (e.g. Kull 1998, Maran 2004, 2006, Maran et al 2012, Augustyn 2013, Siewers 2014).

Festschrift to Kalevi Kull presented at 12th gathering in biosemiotics

Around 18 o'clock on Tuesday July 17th, at the end of the first session of the 12th gathering in biosemiotics, in Tartu, Estonia, Timo Maran, Kati Lindström, Riin Magnus and I presented the book Semiotics in the Wild: Essays in Honour of Kalevi Kull on the Occasion of His 60th Birthday to Kalevi and the public at large (with perhaps 70-80 people present).

The four of us are the editors of this volume, which features 20 short contributions written by biosemioticians, an introduction, and a bibliography of Kalevi Kull's scientific publications in English (1977-2012, and counting). The book is published by Tartu University Press.
