2022.7.7 Sentience Beyond the Human 多物種感知國際工作坊

Workshop Introduction工作坊主旨：

Emphasizing a more-than-human perspective in considering the world co-constructed by humans and nonhumans, this workshop investigates sentience beyond the human by bringing together scholars from anthropology, religious studies, media studies, legal studies, contemporary art, and curatorial studies - to critically engage with analysis of, and theorization on, how we account for agency politically, historically, and relationally. Questions we may ask in this workshop include: What forms of legal frameworks - such as environmental rights, animal rights, and the rights of nature - are available? What are their limitations? How can sentience be reconfigured as a form of relationality, rather than an essence or capacity exclusive to humans? How can analysis of food regimes and food art broaden our horizon on multispecies life and death? How do religious ideas of life and death ontologically frame the possibilities and impossibilities of being sentient? Foregrounding these issues with a multispecies perspective of the sensorial, the workshop explores pathways toward ecological togetherness beyond the apocalyptic imagination of Anthropocene futures.         

多物種研究致力於走出人類物種中心主義，轉而從「多於人」（more-than-human）的視角重新理解世界，強調人與其他非人的生命形式之間存在著不可化約、不可忽視的相互構造關係。而欲朝向人與非人之物「能動性」的重新分配，必先交涉人對於非人之物「感知能力」的重新部署與分配，召喚人類的跨物種覺知（learning to be affected）。「多物種感知」國際工作坊將組裝一個跨學科的研究社群，邀請具感官民族誌、多物種人類學、宗教研究、物質研究、環境法學、生態批評等專長的學者，從動物、植物、礦物出發探索多物種共生環境（milieu），一起探討「自然」究竟是什麼？生命可以是什麼樣的形式？污染、塑膠、地球暖化、物種滅絕等現象如何引發連鎖效應？以及人類如何看、聽、觸摸這個世界中彼此串連的共生網絡？多物種感知將當代複雜的環境理論，落地轉換成可感可知的形式，以嘗試探索超越環境危機末世論的各種出口。
