New EiCs now mentioned online

At some point last autumn - October? - I made a note that I should mention in this blog that the names of the three new editors of the journal Biosemiotics - Alexei Sharov, Timo Maran and myself - are now mentioned online, on the journal's webpage, along with Marcello Barbieri.

Twitter update

I've updated profile info and image(s) for my Twitter alias, @sporfilosofen.

To date I've posted 1,032 tweets, and have 236 followers. Not so much. Mostly tweeting in Norwegian, occasionally in English. But not really tweeting much at all lately (the summer of 2011 was an exception, due to the terror in Norway).

Webpage for Norwegian Animal Ethics Conference updated

The webpage of the Norwegian Animal Ethics Conference (in Norwegian) - cf. previous posts on the conference series - has been updated. The theme for the 2014 conference, which will be the third conference in the annual series, is "Fiskelykke" ["luck in fishing"/"fish happiness"].

Research project webpage updated

The last few days I have updated the Norwegian webpage(s) of the Norwegian-Estonian research project "Animals in changing environments: Cultural mediation and semiotic analysis" (2013-2016), in both its Norwegian and English versjon. The updates include grant agency logos, three abstracts (for the upcoming research seminar in Stavanger December 13th), and brief descriptions of the three case studies with Norwegian involvement.

UiS profile page updated

A couple of weeks back I updated my profile page at the webpage of University of Stavanger, including the bibliography.

Webpage of Estonian project partner launched; Estonian title

A few weeks ago the Norwegian research group of the Norwegian-Estonian research project "Animals in changing environments: Cultural mediation and semiotic analysis" launched a webpage, first in English, then in Norwegian. Now the Estonian research group's webpage has been launched too: See its English version and its Estonian version, both sorting under University of Tartu's Department of semiotics.

The Estonian language title of the project is "Loomad muutuvates keskkondades: Kultuuriline vahendatus ja semiootiline analüüs".

The research project "Animals in changing environments" launches website

The research project "Animals in changing environments: Cultural mediation and semiotic analysis" has today launched an English language website for the Norwegian research group on the pages of University of Stavanger. A Norwegian language version will appear soon.

The other researchers and myself are presented on the subpage "Researchers". Other subpages include "Our Estonian partner" and "Publications".

The research project has thematically been placed under the research area "Society, culture and religion".

3rd issue of the NASS Letter completed and published

Yesterday I prepared the 3rd issue of the newsletter of the Nordic Association for Semiotic Studies (NASS), and today I spoke with co-editor Inesa Sahakyan, going through my contributions and hers alike. The newsletter was distributed today, to more than 200 email addresses, including everybody who have registered for the upcoming NASS conference in Aarhus, Denmark. The 3rd issue of the NASS Letter is 14 pp. including the preliminary program of that conference. It is available in full here (see also previous newsletters).

I furthermore updated the webpage of NASS - and published (and, indeed, penned), both in the newsletter and on the webpage, the NASS board's call for General Assembly in Aarhus (May 30th).

New address for my UiS profile page

My profile page at the webpages of the University of Stavanger, where I work as an Associate professor in philosophy, has (in the UiS' process of updating the design etc. of its webpages) moved to a new address, which is to be found here. Permalink in the sidebar to the right.

Unfortunately several of the links I provided do not appear any more.

My commercial website "Spør Filosofen" [Ask the philosopher] is back online, now based on a Wordpress template. In Norwegian.

ISSILC online

I have added a new link under "Some related academic links", namely to International Society for the Study of Interactivity, Language and Cognition (ISSILC), which was founded in Odense, Denmark last autumn and which website has now been launched.

Nordic HAS portal

Minding Animals Norway has launched a Nordic Human-Animal Studies Portal. For now its coverage of Norway is a lot better than that of the other Nordic countries, but hopefully that will improve as we receive suggestions from others. The portal has initially been launched in Norwegian.

The portal includes the following categories:

* Research networks and email lists

* HAS education and courses

* Journals and magazines on animals

* Environmental and animal advocacy NGOs

* NGOs and agencies working for animals

* Businesses and networks with HAS competence

* Literature, journals and blogs related to HAS

* Persons with competence within HAS
