"How does understanding occur in encounters of living beings? What is experienced by the interaction partners and what happens in the ‘In-Between’? And how can this be captured? In this paper an enactive approach to interaction is proposed with the focus on reciprocal intercorporeal attunement and co-creation of meaning in a specific environment. As alternative framework this approach is applied to the interaction of d/Deaf persons and animals. In the interaction with an animal, verbal communication - which is challenging for d/Deaf persons - is of secondary importance, so this frame is well suited to focus on intercorporeal attunement. In the interaction discourse regarding d/Deaf persons as well as Human-Animal-Interaction the assessment of the interaction process as such and embodied research methodologies are scarcely to be found. With the enactive approach new perspectives on the mechanisms of interaction and the influencing conditions can be opened as well as new approaches to respective research options.

Animal Interaction

Interaksi manusia dengan hewan telah menjadi fenomena yang selalu terjadi selama berabad-abad.   Salah satu hewan yang memiliki kapabilitas kecerdasan tinggi dalam berkomunikasi ialah lumba-lumba. Lumba-Lumba ialah salah satu mamalia laut yang sering di pertunjukan di berbagai wahana wisata, sirkus, hiburan, juga penelitian maupun pengobatan. Keterlibatan lumba-lumba ini tidak terlepas dari peran pelatih yang selalu berinteraksi dalam melatih lumba-lumba.  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui makna pengalaman pelatih dalam berinteraksi dengan lumba-lumba dalam pertunjukan “Dolphin Show” di Ocean Dream Samudra – Ancol. Pemaknaan nilai-nilai hidup dalam pengimplikasian jenis komunikasi yang diterapkan pelatih dalam metode pelatihan menjadi dasar pembahasan. Peneltian dilakukan di dolphinarium Ocean Dream Samudera – Taman Impian Jaya Ancol.  Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi interpretatif dengan pendekatan model Collaizi (1978) sebagai teknik analisis data beserta triangulasi sumber data. Interaksi antar pelatih dan lumba-lumba didasarkan oleh rasa cinta pada hewan yang didukung oleh penggunaan jenis komunikasi seperti verbal, gestur, objek, peluit ultrasonik, fokus tatapan mata, dan bahasa telepati. Interaksi didukung juga oleh perubahan makna simbol, proses konsisten disiplin dan pemberian reward dalam proses latihan. Kesalahan berinteraksi yang terjadi saat pertunjukan ditutupi oleh kemahiran pelatih dalam improvisasi acting. Koneksi yang terjalin antar pelatih dan lumba-lumba memungkinkan komunikasi antar manusia dan hewan dapat terjadi.   Abstract Human - animal interaction has always been a phenomenon throughout hundreds of years. One of the cleverest animal species that have high inteligence capability in communication are dolphins. Dolphins are one of the cetacean group that often being shown in various places such as theme park, circus, entertainment, research and also medication centre. This involvement of dolphins usually attached with the role of trainers that always interact while training those dolphins. This research aimed to discover the meaning of trainers and dolphins’ interaction experience in “Dolphin Show” Ocean Dream Samudra – Ancol. The meaning of life value in implicating communication aspects used by trainers becoming analysis foundation. This research was held in Ocean Dream Samudra – Taman Impian Jaya Ancol. This research uses Collaizi’s (1978) model as data analysis techniques and the triangulation sources of data. Interaction between trainers and dolphins is based on the feeling of love for animals in which supported by incorporating communication aspects such as verbal, gesture, objects, ultrasonic whistle, focus in eye sight, and telepathy. The changes in meaning produced by symbol and the consistency, discipline and reward management in training also support the interaction process. Miss comunication that occur during shows, covered by the ability of acting improvisation. The connection between trainers and dolphins enabling communication between human and animals.

The Impact

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic presents an opportunity to explore the role of animals as sources of emotional and physical support during a period when most of the population is experiencing social and environmental challenges. We investigated how companion animal owners perceived the influence of human–animal interaction on their physical and mental health during the first COVID-19 lockdown phase in the U.K., and what concerns they had regarding their animals at this time. We also explored the impact of participants’ interaction with non-companion animals during this phase. A cross-sectional online survey of U.K. residents aged over 18 was conducted between April and June 2020. The final item of the survey invited open-ended free-text responses, allowing participants to describe any experiences and/or perceptions of their human–animal relationships during the COVID-19 lockdown phase. A qualitative thematic analysis of responses was undertaken. Four main themes related to the following aspects of human–animal interactions during the COVID-19 lockdown phase were identified: the positive impact of animal ownership during the COVID-19 lockdown (e.g., amelioration of wellbeing and mental health), concerns relating to animal ownership during the COVID-19 lockdown (e.g., concerns over animals carrying the COVID-19 virus), grief and loss of an animal during the COVID-19 lockdown and the impact of engaging with non-companion animals during the COVID-19 lockdown. The findings complement and extend previous insights into the impact of human–animal interaction with both companion and non-companion animals. They also highlight the challenges of caring for an animal during the lockdown phase and indicate the need to consider the development of further targeted support strategies, such as “day care” for the companion animals of key workers in this context.

Mental Well Being

Humans have long interacted with animals. Recently, market-based responses to societal challenges, including loneliness and mental well-being include the use of animals. Considerable research concerning consumer–animal relationships has also examined the benefits (micro, meso, and macro) of human-animal interaction and companionship. However, much of this research is fragmented and lacks a broader organizing framework. It also suffers from an anthropomorphic bias, whereby the interests of animals are excluded. To address this, we provide a macromarketing perspective on consumer–animal relations and explore the interdependencies of consumer–animal relationships on consumer, animal, and community well-being. We introduce and apply the Interactive Well-Being framework to four contexts –ranging from private to public consumption spaces– that highlight the interdependencies and systems involved in consumer–animal relationships: (1) co-habitation with animals, (2) emotional support animals, (3) working with animals, and (4) animals in commercial service contexts. We discuss the implications of our framework for the resilience of marketing systems and how the framework aligns with alternative economy development.
