Summary/Abstract: Strangely, humpback whales’ songs seem familiar to us. These voices from the abyss rise like an omen, a hope, but leave us in a cognitive aporia. By summoning philosophers of nature, anthropologists, sociologists and constructivist ethologists, we renew the interpretation of encounters between two musicians and humpback whales, by insisting on the role of emotions, these ways of being in the world, shared by humans and animals.
