Animism Beyond the Soul
How might we envision animism through the lens of the ‘anthropology of anthropology’? The contributors to this volume offer compelling case studies that demonstrate how indigenous animistic practices, concepts, traditions, and ontologies are co-authored in highly reflexive ways by anthropologists and their interlocutors. They explore how native epistemologies, which inform anthropological notions during fieldwork, underpin the dialogues between r…

Animism Beyond the Soul

Anthropological Knowledge Making, the Reflexive Feedback Loop, and Conceptualizations of the Soul
In this introduction, we propose a new approach to anthropological knowledge making that would observe the ‘hyper-reflexive’ quality of ethnographic exchanges.

The chapter represents the first attempt to draw together ethnographic fieldwork with primary and …
