The Zoosemiotics and Animal Representations conference in Tartu (the leading center for biosemiotics research) promises to be a good one. Plenary speakers include Jesper Hoffmeyer (one of the leaders of the field), ecophilosopher and musician David Rothenberg, postcolonial ecocritic Graham Huggan, and philosopher of science Colin Allen.
The deadline for abstracts has passed. Two publications are planned. For more information, see the conference home page.
Thank you for the stimulating article! I have liked your post and will continue to follow.
