Astrid GUILLAUME serves as an HDR Lecturer in the Faculty of Letters, specializing in semiotics with a focus on human and non-human animal communication systems. Her academic position bridges theoretical linguistics, cultural studies, and animal ethics, examining how meaning transfers across species and temporal frameworks through verbal and non-verbal channels. Her research centers on three interconnected domains: theoretical semiotics (intertheoricity and transferogenesis), zoosemiotics (animal communication, sentience, and liminality), and cultural semiotics (semiotranslationology and semiomedievalistics). GUILLAUME challenges anthropocentric paradigms by developing frameworks for understanding non-human sign systems, advocating for terms like 'animal liminaire' in academic discourse. Her work integrates medieval studies with contemporary animal ethics to analyze evolving human-animal relationships. Recent publications (2021-2023) reveal consistent focus on practical applications of semiotic theory to animal welfare crises, particularly cetacean captivity, commercial fishing practices, and hunting ethics. She employs transdisciplinary methodologies to critique anthropocentric exploitation while proposing legislative reforms based on semiotic evidence of animal sentience and communication complexity. Though specific advisory roles remain undocumented, GUILLAUME's direction of academic collections ('Zoosémiotique' and 'Traditions et Croyance') and organization of doctoral seminars demonstrates scholarly leadership. Her editorial work bridges theoretical semiotics with real-world animal advocacy, positioning her as a key figure in emerging humanimalist scholarship.
