First, this was the establishing of Jakob von Uexküll Archive for Umweltforschung and Biosemiotics at the University of Hamburg, accompanied with an international conference “Signs and the Design of Life — Uexkiill’s significance today” held for the inauguration of the Archive in Hamburg in January 2004 (see a detailed review by T. Rüting in the end of this volume). Second, there was the meeting “Cassirer, Lotman, Uexküll: Be­ tween biology and semiotics of culture”, held in Tartu in May 2004. This has been organised by John Michael Krois from the Humboldt University of Berlin (at that time the first Emst-Cassirer-Professor at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study in Social Sciences) together with the Department of Semiotics of Tartu University. Most of the papers of the current volume were presented in one of these conferences. The volume altogether has been prepared in colla­ boration with Hamburg University, particularly its Jakob von Uexküll Archive for Umweltforschung and Biosemiotics} Although there has been some mentioning of Jakob von Uexküll’s work in several papers published in Sign Systems Studies earlier, this is the first case to devote a focused attention to his works. This can be seen as a follow-up to the special issue of Semiotica vol. 134(1/4), 2001, that has been entirely devoted to the interpretation of Jakob von Uexküll’s legacy and role in semiotics.

(Yeah, there’s a cross sponsorship on my vestments now.) Is he about to sell me a gym membership? (Our church does have a gym.) Maybe he’s announcing a new book he published! (No, but I do have a really old one that I’d love for you to read more often!) I know the title of this article looks like it’s just a catchy phrase…and that’s because it is. 76% of all readers that are captured by a title and read to the 5th sentence end up reading the entire article. That being said, 82% of all statistics are made up. But you’re still reading at this point, so I’ll go on and satisfy your curiosity! You may be among the approximately 44% of Americans who make a New Year’s resolution. This statistic is actually real according a Marist Poll taken in December 2016, but the figure fluctuates from year to year between 39-45%. The top resolutions fall into one of four categories: self-improvement or education related, weight related, money related, or relationship related resolutions. If you’re a real New Year’s resolution zealot, you might even make more than one resolution, but no matter how many resolutions you make, you’re highly likely to be among the 88% that don’t fulfill their resolution(s), and so here you are still reading this article.

De Simone 2012 Abstract In the mid-seventeenth century Nikon, Patriarch of Moscow, introduced a number of reforms to bring the Russian Orthodox Church into ritualistic and liturgical conformity with the Greek Orthodox Church. However, Nikon‘s reforms met staunch resistance from a number of clergy, led by figures such as the archpriest Avvakum and Bishop Pavel of Kolomna, as well as large portions of the general Russian population. Nikon‘s critics rejected the reforms on two key principles: that conformity with the Greek Church corrupted Russian Orthodoxy‘s spiritual purity and negated Russia‘s historical and Christian destiny as the Third Rome – the final capital of all Christendom before the End Times. Developed in the early sixteenth century, what became the Third Rome Doctrine proclaimed that Muscovite Russia inherited the political and spiritual legacy of the Roman Empire as passed from Constantinople. In the mind of Nikon‘s critics, the Doctrine proclaimed that Constantinople fell in 1453 due to God‘s displeasure with the Greeks. Therefore, to Nikon‘s critics introducing Greek rituals and liturgical reform was to invite the same heresies that led to the Greeks‘ downfall.

My investigation of JSL politeness considers the relationship between Japanese sign and speech and how users of these languages adapt their communicative style based on the social context. This work examines: the Deaf Japanese community as minority language users and the concomitant effects on the development of JSL; politeness in JSL independently and in relation to spoken Japanese, along with the subsequent implications for characterizing polite Japanese communicative interaction; and the results of two studies that provide descriptions of the ways in which JSL users linguistically encode polite register.

    Spring 2009 Curriculum

    Spring 2009 Curriculum ART HISTORY AH2102.01 Fashion and Modernism Josh Blackwell “Let There Be Fashion, Down With Art” –Max Ernst Fashion acts as a powerful analogue to and forecaster of Modernism's rise. Artists such as Matisse, Balla, Bakst, Delaunay and Dali took note of fashion's nascent agency and created clothing as a means of engaging the new political, social and cultural landscapes of the 20th Century. Influenced by Charles Baudelaire's radical questioning of beauty and fashion, artists attempted to define fashion’s role in culture, manipulating it to reflect their own proclivities. This seminar will consider various movements such as Cubism, Fauvism, Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, and Surrealism through the lens of fashion, investigating the various agendas and ideologies deployed. Culminating in the creation of original garments, students will engage the political spectrum as it intersects with Modernism's aesthetic partisanship. Regular assignments will include reading, visual research, and critical analysis of the material. A high degree of motivation is expected. Prerequisites: None. Credits: 2 Time: W 2:10 - 6pm (This course meets the second seven weeks of the term.) AH4101.01 Thematic Exposure Andrew Spence Taking a cue from recent exhibitions in art museums, art galleries, auction houses as well as trade show exhibits of antiques, design, cars, boats and art fairs, exhibition organizers and artists are interested in merging pluralistic elements of our culture into one big inclusive and broader based experience. Students in this class take a closer look at this development by selecting their own group of "things from anywhere" and presenting them in a meaningful way by producing a catalog for a hypothetical exhibition.

Here, we propose that classical theory from behavioral ecology can provide a greater understanding of the mechanisms underlying eco- evolutionary dynamics, and thus improve predictions about the outcomes of these dynamics. 2 Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics The recognition that ecological and evolutionary processes can occur on the same timescale, and thus interact with each other, has led to a field of interdisciplinary research often called eco- evolutionary dynamics. Eco-evolutionary dynamics are feedbacks that occur when changes in ecological processes influence evolutionary change, which then in turn feedback onto the ecology of the system. For example, dispersal rates can increase or decrease due to ecological changes (e.g. resource fluctuations) altering species (meta-)population dynamics through source- sink dynamics or shifts in gene flow and ultimately changing the selection pressures that population experiences [1].
