Description

In this episode we speak with Susanne Paola Antonetta, author of the essay ‘Language Garden’ featured on Wimblu’s Magazine Volume 9, dedicated to Language. Based on her encounter with Chantek, a signing orangutan, Susanne's text leads us to profound reflections on ethics: what are we provoking in the minds of animals when we impose human learning on them? How much does 'giving them a language' bring us closer or further away from a recognition of the agency, intelligence and consciousness of these non-human beings? Are we still thinking about consciousness under anthropocentric bias?   


Listen to Susanne talk about her experience meeting Chantek, a signing orangutan, and the impact this encounter had on her way of relating to language, consciousness and the more-than-human world.
