What does the non-human world have to say to us, and how do we listen? Facing an uncertain future, one situated within the Anthropocene, we must critically examine how we situate ourselves with our earthly co-inhabitants. This involves working with non-anthropocentric viewpoints, and questioning our inherent assumptions of non-human “sentience(s)” politically, historically, and relationally. This event report seeks to offer a succinct account of four different (but interrelated) perspectives, pointing to more-than-human viewpoints. The talks, presented at a workshop held at the Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab (C-Lab) 臺灣當代文化實驗場, engaging with investigations in environmental humanities, animal studies, media, international law, sensory anthropology, and history. And, as the conference program rightly explains, exploring ’pathways toward ecological togetherness beyond the apocalyptic imagination of Anthropocene futures’ is the central idea presented. With this in mind, this report discusses the second session of the workshop, introducing their contents and conclusions. Additionally, this piece contains a brief discussion section further summarizing and fleshing out the points made above. Due to space considerations, this report emphasizes some details over others. Therefore, I invite readers to consult the above scholar’s published works on the subject.

Sentience Beyond the Human was a one-day workshop taking place at Taiwan Contemporary Cultural Lab in July 2022. The first session invited four speakers to talk about their research of non-human sentients in various contexts. Dr. Francesca Tarocco is a Professor of Buddhist Studies and director of THE NEW INSTITUTE Center for Environmental Humanities (NICHE) at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. Her presentation was titled “Non-human Personhood across Buddhist Imaginaries: Vegetarianism and the Protection of Sentient Beings in Modern China.” Gina Song is a PhD Candidate at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies at Lund University. She presented “From Compassion to Liberation: The ‘New’ Vegan Movement in Taiwan.” Dr. Francis Maravillas is Assistant Professor of Critical and Curatorial Studies of Contemporary Art at NTUE. He introduced “Eating Well in the More-than-human World: Notes on the Food Aesthetics and Politics of Food in Contemporary Indonesian Art.” Artist TziMei Li presented her experimental project at Taiwan Contemporary Cultural Lab in 2021, called “The possibility of feeling with non-human beings.” Dr. Yenling Tsai is associate Professor from the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at NYCU. She was the moderator of the first session.
