The normative anthropocentric perspective is increasingly being replaced by a more relational approach in which the subject-object relationship is seen as emerging from a co-constitutive process. Insofar as this radical change calls for alternative ways of thinking about humanity and its environment, this conference aims to contextualise the cultural and philosophical implications of such developments and to test the hypothesis that the decentring of the human, evident in posthumanism, provides a new paradigm that speaks to us in an inspiring way about the immediate present and the imminent future.
