Uexküll translation project in process; deadline extended to February 28th

In March 2012 Jonathan Beever and I agreed with Editor-in-Chief of Biosemiotics Marcello Barbieri that the two of us will translate Jakob von Uexküll's 1917 essay "Darwin und die Englische Moral" and write a framing essay to go along with it. More specifically, I will do the translation, with language editing done by Jonathan. The framing essay will be co-written by both of us.

We originally planned to have the texts done in the autumn of 2012, but before Christmas got acceptance for a delayed deadline, February 28th 2013. However, we have by now started on both the translation and the framing essay, and have agreed to maintain regular contact, with Skype calls approximately every second week, in January and February (and beyond that as well, due to another, thematically related writing project).
