Climate change and biodiversity loss impose the urgency of a reconception of the relationship between humans and non-humans. A heterogeneous set of theoretical positions in anthropology − multispecies ethnography, etho-ethnology, anthropology of life, biosemiotics − has recently challenged the anthropocentric exceptionalism of Western culture, highlighting the entangled character of human action with all sorts of living entities.

Abstract

Climate change and biodiversity loss impose the urgency of a reconception of the relationship between humans and non-humans. A heterogeneous set of theoretical positions in anthropology − multispecies ethnography, etho-ethnology, anthropology of life, biosemiotics − has recently challenged the anthropocentric exceptionalism of Western culture, highlighting the entangled character of human action with all sorts of living entities. Recognizing the absence of a unified analytical framework for these approaches, the article aims to contribute to the formulation of an ecological model of anthropology capable of rethinking human identity and its interactions with what is beyond the human in a relational and non-anthropocentric way.
