Abstract The human-animal relation has mainly been negotiated one way or another – a humanist/anthropocentric approach which centralizes the human condition and a posthuman perspective which sees the human perspective as a hindrance to fully comprehending the nonhuman world. By exploring the humanist and posthuman discourse on the human-animal divide in communication, this paper contends that both approaches are subject to the “language myth”. At the end, an integrationist-humanist answer to the human-animal divide will be proffered, which constitutes a form of humanism that neither relies on decontextualized conceptions of human communication nor inhibits personal sign-making creativity, thereby marking a point of departure from said humanist and posthuman models.

沟通中的人与动物鸿沟：人类中心论、后人类论和融合论的答案

摘要 人与动物的关系主要以一种或另一种方式进行协商——一种以人类状况为中心的人文主义/人类中心主义方法和一种将人类视角视为充分理解非人类世界的障碍的后人类视角。本文通过探讨人文主义和后人类关于交流中人与动物鸿沟的话语，认为这两种方法都受制于“语言神话”。最后，将提出对人与动物鸿沟的融合主义-人文主义回答，它构成了一种既不依赖脱离语境的人类交流概念，也不抑制个人符号制作创造力的人文主义形式，从而标志着一种与上述观点的背离。人文主义和后人类模型。
