Relating with More-than-Humans: Interbeing Rituality in a Living World de Jean Chamel

Relating with More-than-Humans: Interbeing Rituality in a Living World: Palgrave Studies in Anthropology of Sustainability

Editat de Jean Chamel, Yael Dansac
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2024
Within the social sciences, other-than-human being’s agency has often been denied and interbeings relationships have not been fully addressed. However, many indigenous worldviews and Western contemporary spiritual practices are shaping a very different reality, with various attempts to share the world with non-human beings, animate or inanimate, creating forms of relationships to “the living”.
This edited volume documents how humans deal with non-human entities in a large variety of cultural contexts. It focuses on ritual processes and how ritual creativity is mobilised to invent new ways of relating with more-than-humans. Comprising nine case studies, the volume is divided into three main sections that address successively daily interactions, political implications, and spiritual engagements. Cooperative interactions, kinship relations, senses of belonging, traditional healing techniques, non-human beings’ legal personality attribution, transformative experiences, and phenomenological relationalities are examined in various locations: West Africa, Buryatia, Estonia, Finland, France, Mexico, Nepalese Himalayas, Sweden and Wales.

Recenzii

“One greatest strength of the book is the roughly equal balance between studies focused on indigeneous studies ... and those concerned with spiritual practice in the cosmopolitan and urbanized west. ... This collection stands out for both its diversity and its depth of methodological and theoretical sophistication. I look forward to teaching these exciting case studies in the semester ahead.” (Dan McKanan, Journal for the Study of Religion, Nature and Culture, Vol. 8 (1-2), 2024)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“[This book’s] chapters document and analyse a wide variety of ritualized practices in which privileged connections with more-than-human entities pertaining to the natural environment – plants, animals, minerals, the essential solvent for life on Earth, the Earth itself, and Nature as a whole – are put into effect. In doing so, they emphasize the growing importance of such entities in contemporary ceremonial. In complementary fashion, and to my mind more significantly, they also bear witness to the key role ritual plays in bringing these beings to body and mind.”

— Michael Houseman, Anthropologist and Professor Emeritus, École Pratique des Hautes Études, Université PSL, France
