A Post-Anthropocentric Paradigm for Marketing and Consumption in the Anthropocene

Presentation by Prof. Søren Askegaard, University of Southern Denmark, Odense

With the point of departure in two recent papers (Askegaard et al. 2024; Remy et al. 2024), issues of post-anthropocentric nature-culture relationships and their impact for consumption and marketing will be discussed. The focus will be on the paradigmatic implications of biosemiotics as a way to understand the continuity of life processes between human and other species.
