I would love to make an appearance at these workshops, but I am working busily on a zoosemiotics book (the one co-authored by Dario and myself). I am intrigued by the problem of animal minds - and will engage in this topic hopefully in Prague. I have tentatively come up with a paper called "The Whale and the Barnacle" - all to do with what I call the semiotic explanation gap (from signal - sign - symbol) more anon. But yes, the workshops sound fantastic.
