JANSEN VAN VUUREN, Xany  e  MARAIS, Kobus. Engaging the Anthropocene beyond disciplinary boundaries: Biosemiotics and ecosemiotic perspectives. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2025, vol.121, n.3-4, pp.1-3. ISSN 1996-7489.  https://doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2025/20942.

SIGNIFICANCE: In this Commentary, we discuss biosemiotics and ecosemiotics as two interrelated fields of thought that, in our view, create a platform for natural, social and humanities scientists to join hands in exploring issues relating to the environment and ecology. The insight that ecological systems are also semiotic systems and not only physical-chemical-biological systems means that the ecological debate cannot be reduced to the interests of natural scientists.

Palavras-chave : biosemiotics; ecosemiotics; ecological crisis; Global South.
