Kalevi Kull
Kalevi Kull (born on August 12, 1952, Tartu) is a biosemiotics professor at the University of Tartu, Estonia.
He graduated from the University of Tartu in 1975. His earlier work dealt with ethology and field ecology. He has studied the mechanisms of species coexistence in species-rich communities and developed mathematical modelling in ecophysiology. Since 1975, he has been the main organiser of annual meetings of theoretical biology in Estonia. In 1992, he became a Professor of Ecophysiology in the University of Tartu. In 1997, he joined the Department of Semiotics, and became a Professor in Biosemiotics. Since 2006, he is the Head of the Department of Semiotics in the University of Tartu, Estonia. His field of interests include biosemiotics, ecosemiotics, general semiotics, theoretical biology, theory of evolution, history and philosophy of semiotics and life science.

Kull (collection)
Kull is a collection of Fantasy short stories by Robert E. Howard. It was first published in 1967 by Lancer Books under the title King Kull. This edition included three stories completed by Lin Carter from unfinished fragments and drafts by Howard. Later editions, retitled as Kull, replaced the stories with the uncompleted fragments. Two of the stories, and the poem, "The King and the Oak", originally appeared in the magazine Weird Tales.
Contents
Reception
Algis Budrys reviewed the collection favorably, describing Howard's writing as "combining a masochistic megalomania with a strong streak of horror writing." He noted that Carter's pastiche-completion of "Black Abyss" was surprisingly successful.

Selle saate algtõuke sain ma Toivo Maimetsa möödunud talvel Vabas Akadeemias peetud loengust "Preformism ja epigenees" [1]. Sealtsamast pärineb ka saate pealkiri. Nimelt olevat 20. sajandi üks kuulsamaid biolooge J. B. S. Haldane öelnud, et teleoloogia on justkui bioloogia armuke, "ta ei saa ilma selleta elada, aga ta ei taha ka, et neid avalikult koos nähakse." Käesoleva vestluse lähtekohaks oli aga teleoloogia asemel siiski pigem epigeneetika, s.o mittegeneetilist pärilikkust uuriv bioloogia haru.

"On the Biosemiotic Fundamentals of Aesthetics."
The talk was given by professor Kalevi Kull at the one-day Semiosalong event, Funktionskreis and the Biosemiotic Signifieds, held at the Karl Ernst von Baer House in Tartu Estonia on July 13th 2021. The event was intended as a pre-seminar for the Stockholm Gatherings in Biosemiotics. We ask, what is the relevance of biosemiotics for social science and the humanities, in order to strengthen the case for using biosemiotics as the foundation of general semiotics. Here is the event theme description:
The prize of the object of biosemiotic interest, when properly understood, is coveted across disciplines. It promises answers to questions whose relevance goes beyond biology. What if biosemiotics could prove the utility of the arts and humanities in the same way as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are proven? The biosemiotic signifieds however are mostly non-formalizable – the method is always changing. Biosemiotic findings can even be brought to bear upon issues today in digital humanities and media ethics, in identity politics and critical theory, and in stylistics and design for example. The only way toward these answers is through the dense knot of theory! The session is a pre-seminar for the upcoming Gatherings in Biosemiotics 2021, focusing on applications of biosemiotics to related fields, and inquiring minds from all backgrounds are encouraged to attend.

Selle saate algtõuke sain ma Toivo Maimetsa möödunud talvel Vabas Akadeemias peetud loengust "Preformism ja epigenees" [1]. Sealtsamast pärineb ka saate pealkiri. Nimelt olevat 20. sajandi üks kuulsamaid biolooge J. B. S. Haldane öelnud, et teleoloogia on justkui bioloogia armuke, "ta ei saa ilma selleta elada, aga ta ei taha ka, et neid avalikult koos nähakse."
Käesoleva vestluse lähtekohaks oli aga teleoloogia asemel siiski pigem epigeneetika, s.o mittegeneetilist pärilikkust uuriv bioloogia haru. Veelgi konkreetsemalt tõukus meie jutuajamine 2014. aastal ajakirjas Nature ilmunud artiklist "Does evolutionary theory need a rethink?" [2]. Tegemist on kahest paralleelselt kulgevast alamartiklist koosneva kirjutisega, kus üks tiim väidab "Jah, tingimata" ja teine vastu, et "Ei, kõik on korras".
"Selleks, et probleemist aru saada, läheksin ma tagasi peaaegu 100 aastat," selgitas Toivo (11. minut), "aega, kus darvinismile tuli loodusteaduses ja filosoofias juurde liita juurde vahepeal geneetika vallas tehtud avastused. 20. sajandi alguses olid taasavastatud Mendeli tööd, Thomas Hunt Morgan... pani aluse geneetika uurimisele molekulaarsete meetoditega. 1930-ndatel aastatel tekkis vajadus need kaks asja kokku panna." Niinimetatud neodarvinistliku sünteesi käigus visati kõigepealt Toivo sõnul darvinismist välja omandatud tunnuste pärilikkuse teooria (lamarkism). Teine oluline muutus puudutas looduslikku valikut, "selge oli see, et looduslik valik valib, aga mille vahel tal valida on," jätkas Toivo (14. minut), "kes katab laua?"
Neodarvinism rajaneb Toivo sõnul kolmel postulaadil: 1) laua katavad juhuslikud geenimutatsioonid; 2) geneetiline pärandumisaine on DNA ja ainult DNA; 3) keskkonnaga kohastumise ainuke põhjus on looduslik valik. "Kui mina 1970-ndatel aastatel ülikoolis õppisin, siis oli kõik pagana lihtne – nii oligi... Nüüd on aga aastakümnete jooksul kogunenud palju eksperimentaalandmeid, mis ei mahu enam 80–90 aastat tagasi formuleeritud kontseptsiooni sängi ära." On selgunud, et pärilikkuse kandjaks võivad olla DNA kõrval ka teised ained, mis kujunevad elu jooksul teatud keskkonna mõjude tõttu. "Nii osaleb pärilikkuses kindlasti meie mikrobioom," rääkis Toivo (16. minut), "meil on umbes sama palju baktereid sees kui meie enda rakke... kui laps sünnib, siis saab ta oma emalt sünniteede läbimisel kaasa väga spetsiifilise mikroobide koosluse, mis on talle hädavajalik... ehk siis see seltskond, mis põlvest põlve geneetilist informatsiooni edasi kannab, on palju laiem kui DNA."
"See suur sünteesi periood 1930-ndatel aastatel on tegelikult väga vahva ja huvitav aeg," võttis siinkohal (18. minut) sõnajärje üle Kalevi, "siis pandi kokku sellised bioloogia valdkonnad ja vaateviisid, mida ei suudetud omavahel varem ühendada: geneetika, evolutsiooniõpetus, populatsioonibioloogia. Selle kõrval oli teiseks tähtsaks suundumuseks bioloogia matematiseerumine... 1930-ndatel aastatel valmivad evolutsiooni matemaatilised mudelid.

Selle saate algtõuke sain ma Toivo Maimetsa möödunud talvel Vabas Akadeemias peetud loengust "Preformism ja epigenees" [1]. Sealtsamast pärineb ka saate pealkiri. Nimelt olevat 20. sajandi üks kuulsamaid biolooge J. B. S. Haldane öelnud, et teleoloogia on justkui bioloogia armuke, "ta ei saa ilma selleta elada, aga ta ei taha ka, et neid avalikult koos nähakse."
Käesoleva vestluse lähtekohaks oli aga teleoloogia asemel siiski pigem epigeneetika, s.o mittegeneetilist pärilikkust uuriv bioloogia haru. Veelgi konkreetsemalt tõukus meie jutuajamine 2014. aastal ajakirjas Nature ilmunud artiklist "Does evolutionary theory need a rethink?" [2]. Tegemist on kahest paralleelselt kulgevast alamartiklist koosneva kirjutisega, kus üks tiim väidab "Jah, tingimata" ja teine vastu, et "Ei, kõik on korras".
"Selleks, et probleemist aru saada, läheksin ma tagasi peaaegu 100 aastat," selgitas Toivo (11. minut), "aega, kus darvinismile tuli loodusteaduses ja filosoofias juurde liita juurde vahepeal geneetika vallas tehtud avastused. 20. sajandi alguses olid taasavastatud Mendeli tööd, Thomas Hunt Morgan... pani aluse geneetika uurimisele molekulaarsete meetoditega. 1930-ndatel aastatel tekkis vajadus need kaks asja kokku panna." Niinimetatud neodarvinistliku sünteesi käigus visati kõigepealt Toivo sõnul darvinismist välja omandatud tunnuste pärilikkuse teooria (lamarkism). Teine oluline muutus puudutas looduslikku valikut, "selge oli see, et looduslik valik valib, aga mille vahel tal valida on," jätkas Toivo (14. minut), "kes katab laua?"
Neodarvinism rajaneb Toivo sõnul kolmel postulaadil: 1) laua katavad juhuslikud geenimutatsioonid; 2) geneetiline pärandumisaine on DNA ja ainult DNA; 3) keskkonnaga kohastumise ainuke põhjus on looduslik valik. "Kui mina 1970-ndatel aastatel ülikoolis õppisin, siis oli kõik pagana lihtne – nii oligi... Nüüd on aga aastakümnete jooksul kogunenud palju eksperimentaalandmeid, mis ei mahu enam 80–90 aastat tagasi formuleeritud kontseptsiooni sängi ära." On selgunud, et pärilikkuse kandjaks võivad olla DNA kõrval ka teised ained, mis kujunevad elu jooksul teatud keskkonna mõjude tõttu. "Nii osaleb pärilikkuses kindlasti meie mikrobioom," rääkis Toivo (16. minut), "meil on umbes sama palju baktereid sees kui meie enda rakke... kui laps sünnib, siis saab ta oma emalt sünniteede läbimisel kaasa väga spetsiifilise mikroobide koosluse, mis on talle hädavajalik... ehk siis see seltskond, mis põlvest põlve geneetilist informatsiooni edasi kannab, on palju laiem kui DNA."
"See suur sünteesi periood 1930-ndatel aastatel on tegelikult väga vahva ja huvitav aeg," võttis siinkohal (18. minut) sõnajärje üle Kalevi, "siis pandi kokku sellised bioloogia valdkonnad ja vaateviisid, mida ei suudetud omavahel varem ühendada: geneetika, evolutsiooniõpetus, populatsioonibioloogia. Selle kõrval oli teiseks tähtsaks suundumuseks bioloogia matematiseerumine... 1930-ndatel aastatel valmivad evolutsiooni matemaatilised mudelid. Sellega puhastati bioloogiast välja väga palju uude raamistikku mittesobivat kvalitatiivset materjali... Kuna sellest sünteesist sündinud neodarvinism on teooriana nii täpselt ja hästi sõnastatud, siis on sellega ka loogika pinna parem vaielda."
41. minutil kaldus eelviidatud Nature artikli laiemale kontekstile. "Samal aastal [2014., H. P.] moodustus seltskond, mida nimetatakse "The Third Way of Evolution" [3]," selgitas Kalevi.

Semiosalong is the afterhours Tartu semiotic salon, active since 2011.
"On the Biosemiotic Fundamentals of Aesthetics."
The talk was given by professor Kalevi Kull at the one-day Semiosalong event, Funktionskreis and the Biosemiotic Signifieds, held at the Karl Ernst von Baer House in Tartu Estonia on July 13th 2021. The event was intended as a pre-seminar for the Stockholm Gatherings in Biosemiotics. We ask, what is the relevance of biosemiotics for social science and the humanities, in order to strengthen the case for using biosemiotics as the foundation of general semiotics. Here is the event theme description:
The prize of the object of biosemiotic interest, when properly understood, is coveted across disciplines. It promises answers to questions whose relevance goes beyond biology. What if biosemiotics could prove the utility of the arts and humanities in the same way as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are proven? The biosemiotic signifieds however are mostly non-formalizable – the method is always changing. Biosemiotic findings can even be brought to bear upon issues today in digital humanities and media ethics, in identity politics and critical theory, and in stylistics and design for example. The only way toward these answers is through the dense knot of theory! The session is a pre-seminar for the upcoming Gatherings in Biosemiotics 2021, focusing on applications of biosemiotics to related fields, and inquiring minds from all backgrounds are encouraged to attend.

Selle saate algtõuke sain ma Toivo Maimetsa möödunud talvel Vabas Akadeemias peetud loengust "Preformism ja epigenees" [1]. Sealtsamast pärineb ka saate pealkiri. Nimelt olevat 20. sajandi üks kuulsamaid biolooge J. B. S. Haldane öelnud, et teleoloogia on justkui bioloogia armuke, "ta ei saa ilma selleta elada, aga ta ei taha ka, et neid avalikult koos nähakse."
Käesoleva vestluse lähtekohaks oli aga teleoloogia asemel siiski pigem epigeneetika, s.o mittegeneetilist pärilikkust uuriv bioloogia haru. Veelgi konkreetsemalt tõukus meie jutuajamine 2014. aastal ajakirjas Nature ilmunud artiklist "Does evolutionary theory need a rethink?" [2]. Tegemist on kahest paralleelselt kulgevast alamartiklist koosneva kirjutisega, kus üks tiim väidab "Jah, tingimata" ja teine vastu, et "Ei, kõik on korras".
"Selleks, et probleemist aru saada, läheksin ma tagasi peaaegu 100 aastat," selgitas Toivo (11. minut), "aega, kus darvinismile tuli loodusteaduses ja filosoofias juurde liita juurde vahepeal geneetika vallas tehtud avastused. 20. sajandi alguses olid taasavastatud Mendeli tööd, Thomas Hunt Morgan... pani aluse geneetika uurimisele molekulaarsete meetoditega. 1930-ndatel aastatel tekkis vajadus need kaks asja kokku panna." Niinimetatud neodarvinistliku sünteesi käigus visati kõigepealt Toivo sõnul darvinismist välja omandatud tunnuste pärilikkuse teooria (lamarkism). Teine oluline muutus puudutas looduslikku valikut, "selge oli see, et looduslik valik valib, aga mille vahel tal valida on," jätkas Toivo (14. minut), "kes katab laua?"
Neodarvinism rajaneb Toivo sõnul kolmel postulaadil: 1) laua katavad juhuslikud geenimutatsioonid; 2) geneetiline pärandumisaine on DNA ja ainult DNA; 3) keskkonnaga kohastumise ainuke põhjus on looduslik valik. "Kui mina 1970-ndatel aastatel ülikoolis õppisin, siis oli kõik pagana lihtne – nii oligi... Nüüd on aga aastakümnete jooksul kogunenud palju eksperimentaalandmeid, mis ei mahu enam 80–90 aastat tagasi formuleeritud kontseptsiooni sängi ära." On selgunud, et pärilikkuse kandjaks võivad olla DNA kõrval ka teised ained, mis kujunevad elu jooksul teatud keskkonna mõjude tõttu. "Nii osaleb pärilikkuses kindlasti meie mikrobioom," rääkis Toivo (16. minut), "meil on umbes sama palju baktereid sees kui meie enda rakke... kui laps sünnib, siis saab ta oma emalt sünniteede läbimisel kaasa väga spetsiifilise mikroobide koosluse, mis on talle hädavajalik... ehk siis see seltskond, mis põlvest põlve geneetilist informatsiooni edasi kannab, on palju laiem kui DNA."
"See suur sünteesi periood 1930-ndatel aastatel on tegelikult väga vahva ja huvitav aeg," võttis siinkohal (18. minut) sõnajärje üle Kalevi, "siis pandi kokku sellised bioloogia valdkonnad ja vaateviisid, mida ei suudetud omavahel varem ühendada: geneetika, evolutsiooniõpetus, populatsioonibioloogia. Selle kõrval oli teiseks tähtsaks suundumuseks bioloogia matematiseerumine... 1930-ndatel aastatel valmivad evolutsiooni matemaatilised mudelid. Sellega puhastati bioloogiast välja väga palju uude raamistikku mittesobivat kvalitatiivset materjali... Kuna sellest sünteesist sündinud neodarvinism on teooriana nii täpselt ja hästi sõnastatud, siis on sellega ka loogika pinna parem vaielda."
41. minutil kaldus eelviidatud Nature artikli laiemale kontekstile. "Samal aastal [2014., H. P.] moodustus seltskond, mida nimetatakse "The Third Way of Evolution" [3]," selgitas Kalevi. Kolmas tee viitab siinkohal pikka aega eriti USA-s toimunud ilmavaatelisele debatile neodarvinistide ja kreatsionistide vahel. "Neodarvinism on täiesti elimineerinud igasuguse teleoloogia," jätkas Kalevi (42. minut), "sõna "teleoloogia" on sama hull kui "vitalism" (elujõud), see ei kuulu endast lugupidava bioloogi sõnavarasse." Religiooniringkonnad ei taha samal ajal eesmärgipärasusest kuidagi loobuda. Selles on veendunud ka osad bioloogid, "eesmärgipärasus on aga alati kuidagi seotud intellekti, teadvuse või vaimuga, olgu see siis jumalik või mitte... see neodarvinismi ja kreatsionismi väga polariseeritud ja ideoloogiline vaidlus surus teaduslikus bioloogias maha neodarvinismi kriitika. Kuivõrd tegemist on binaarse vastandusega, siis kehtib põhimõte: kui sa pole neodarvinist, siis oled sa kreatsionist. See kolmas tee ongi nimetatud kolmandaks teeks seetõttu, et see ei taha olla ei neodarvinismi ega kreatsionismi poolt. See ei ole päri neodarvinismiga, küll aga mitmes mõttes Darwiniga ja toob seetõttu sisse epigeneetilisest pärandumisest tulenevad teoreetilised järeldused" (44. minut).
Head kuulamist!
