#25,5

Yesterday I had half an article writing day devoted to go through a language-edited version of my article “Anticipating the societal transformation required to solve the environmental crisis in the 21st century”. I finished today. The article - my longest ever, I think - will be published very soon, in a special issue of Sign Systems Studies.

Accumulated number of writing days so far this Spring is up to 25,5.

Writing

Today I have had another writing day, bringing the Spring´s total up to 48, with further work and some 700 words written on the revised version of my article "Anticipating the societal transformation required to solve the environmental crisis in the 21st century".

Sign Systems Studies received; reference for early human Umwelt article

Today I received my paper copy of the most recent issue of Sign Systems Studies, where I have a contribution on the early human Umwelt. Reference:

— 2014g. The ontogeny of the embryonic, foetal and infant human umwelt. Sign Systems Studies 42 (2/3) (Special Issue “Sign evolution on multiple time scales” guest-edited by Kristian Tylén and Luis Emilio Bruni): 281–307.

Monograph named Being and Sign

My monograph in-progress, in the wake of my PhD dissertation "Umwelt transition: Uexküllian phenomenology - An ecosemiotic analysis of Norwegian wolf management" (cf. post of September 19th 2011 - and note revised time schedule), has been named Being and Sign: Umwelt Theory for the 21st Century. 

It was on July 22nd, in Tallinn, that I named it thus, on my way back from the 12th Gathering in Biosemiotics. The title is meant to refer to 1) phenomenology, 2) (bio)semiotics, and 3) Umwelt theory/Uexküll.
