For the last forty years (and, arguably, even earlier) biosemiotician Kalevi Kull has been pioneer- ing the effort to develop a language of scholarship rich enough to capture the nuanced processes of communication, cooperation and choice-making in the lifeworld of all creatures, from the single cellular to the modern human. In this volume, almost 100 scholars from around the world discuss the influence that K. Kull’s ideas have had on their own work and thinking. The volume also includes a short selection of personal memoirs, and a more than 500 entry Bibliography of K. Kull’s work from 1982 to 2022.

 

Depuis quarante ans (et, sans doute, bien avant déjà), le biosémioticien Kalevi Kull est un pion- nier dans ses efforts de développer un langage scientifique qui soit suffisamment riche pour saisir les processus nuancés de communication, de coopération et de choix dans le monde de vie de toutes les créatures, depuis l’unicellulaire jusqu’à l’homme moderne. Dans ce volume, presqu’une centaine d’universitaires du monde entier discutent de l’influence que les idées de K. Kull ont eue sur leur propre travail et sur leurs réflexions. Le volume comprend également une courte sélection de souvenirs personnels et une bibliographie (de plus de 500 entrées) des travaux de K. Kull de 1982 à 2022.
