Overview

Perspective analysis proposes the Symbiocene framework to reframe human–nature relationships, highlighting sensory and artistic interactions as pathways toward regenerative environmental action.

Key Points

  • Explore the concept of the Symbiocene as a transformative narrative to inspire proactive social-ecological change and counter the disillusionment associated with the Anthropocene.
  • Conducted a conceptual perspective analysis on evolving definitions of nature, humanity, and ecological interconnectedness.
  • Evaluated transitions from economy-centered, degenerative models to planet-centered, regenerative paradigms facilitated by nature- and art-based sensory experiences.
  • Identifies the Symbiocene framework as a viable, action-oriented alternative to fatalistic Anthropocene narratives.
  • Demonstrates that sensory-driven engagements with nature and creative arts serve as crucial catalysts for establishing regenerative human–nature partnerships.
