Dear all,
on behalf
of the journal Biosemiotics,
I refer you to a questionnaire which
we now distribute in the biosemiotic community in preparation of the second
review article in the biosemiotic glossary project. Carlo Brentari, Riin Magnus
and I have been assigned as authors of this scientific article, which will
review the term ‘Umwelt’ (in the sense established by Jakob von Uexküll in his
Umwelt theory). As part of
the editorial process, each review article will, when submitted, be distributed
to the members of the editorial board of Biosemiotics and
further to those cited in the article, for feedback.
A survey in the
biosemiotic community is conducted in preparation of each review article. The
associated questionnaire, which is to be returned to me as handling editor,
is distributed to a wide range of biosemioticians, including but not
necessarily restricted to/via the members of the editorial board and advisory
board of Biosemiotics, the biosemiotics email list (biosemiotics@lists.ut.ee),
the board members of the International Society for Biosemiotic Studies (ISBS),
the board members of the International Society of Code Biology (ISCB), and the
Biosemiosis blog (http://biosemiosis.blogspot.com/).
The invited
authors are tasked with describing the outcomes of the survey associated with
their review article, and to do so systematically and in an unbiased manner.
However, when it comes to synthesis and suggestions, they will have the freedom
to propose their own view even if it contradicts the general/popular
understanding.
The
deadline for returning the attached questionnaire is August 20th. It
should be sent to my email address (mortentoennessen AT gmail.com or alternatively morten.tonnessen AT
uis.no). The questionnaire (Word format) is available via my Academia.edu
page, here.
My best,
Morten
Tønnessen
Co-Editor-in-Chief
of Biosemiotics
