#42,5

Today I have had half a book writing day, with some 500 words written on my scientific monograph Captured: CCS and the fight for the soul of the environmental movement. I have also had half an article writing day devoted to finishing my selection of text for a Spanish translation of my journal article "The biosemiotic glossary project: Agent, agency" (first published in Biosemiotics, 8(1), 2015).

So far this Spring I have had 42,5 writing days, including 35 book writing days and 7,5 article writing days.

Altogether in April I logged some 8.456 words written (spread on 11,5 writing days), including 8.372 words on Captured. So far this year I´ve added more than 33.000 words to my monograph.

References featured in Zeitschrift für Semiotik stylesheet

The English language stylesheet of Zeitschrift for Semiotik features two references to my research, based as examples.

Excerpt - example of block citation (pt. 3.7):

While there is no consensus on the terms “agent” and “agency”, most biosemioticians appear to agree that core attributes of an agent include goal- directedness, self-governed activity, processing of semiosis and choice of action (Tønnessen 2015: 139–140).

Excerpt - example of translated journal article (p.t. 5.2):

Uexküll, Jakob von (1917). Darwin und die englische Moral. Deutsche Rundschau 173, 215–242. English translation by Morten Tønnessen as: Uexküll, Jakob von (2013). Darwin and the English morality. Biosemiotics 6, 3, 449–471.

"Agency in Biosemiotics and Enactivism" revised second time

Today I finished the second round of revisions of my forthcoming book chapter "Agency in Biosemiotics and Enactivism".

Here´s the reference for my agency review article:

Agency review article proof-read

A couple of weeks ago I proof-read my review article for Biosemiotics "The biosemiotic glossary project: Agent, agency".

IACS program and abstracts online

The program for the upcoming conference First International Association for Cognitive Semiotics (IACS) Conference (Lund, Sweden, September 25-27th) is available online. So are abstracts, including for my paper "Will the agents of nature please rise: What is agency?" 

Agency review article rescheduled to Biosemiotics #1/2015

My review article "The biosemiotic glossary project: Agent, Agency" (see previous posts) will appear in Biosemiotics no. 1/2015 (April 2015), not no. 3/2014 (December 2014) as previously planned. This is due to the overall coherence of each of these two issues.
