Human perceptions and understanding of other-than-human animals continue to be severely limited. Other species are often considered props for human existence or not recognized at all, as is the case for many invertebrates. This chapter is concerned with disrupting and expanding these perceptions and proposes an embodied approach modeled after the cephalopod-inspired work of visual artist Miriam Simun. In attempting to be like another animal, such as an octopus, we are decentered and drawn into that animal’s world, embodying their point of view and encountering them as autonomous, unique subjects. Situated within the biocultural ethics’ framework developed by Chilean philosopher and ecologist Ricardo Rozzi, this chapter first examines the octopus’ biocultural history, and then draws more-than-human phenomenology together with Simun’s writing and art to outline an embodied pedagogical and dialogic approach to studying, communicating about, and co-existing with other-than-human beings. This chapter follows Simun’s example, asking us to stretch the ways we learn about and engage with other-than-human animals, to expand our thinking out into our fingertips, and to feel more deeply what it means to co-exist. Ultimately the author proposes that these embodied encounters constitute a powerful educational method with the potential to expand human perceptions as well as broaden the possibilities for multispecies flourishing.
