Resumo

This chapter contributes to ongoing discussions about the ontological turn, asking what it might mean to take this turn with a more-than-human sensibility. Rather than presuming a shared world, the author suggests thinking about "worlding" as an always-in-process achievement of entangled beings. The chapter explores the possibilities of "multispecies worlding" through three brief ethnographic sketches: 1) human-altered landscapes as multispecies propositions; 2) translation across difference in interspecies encounters; and 3) the role of indeterminacy in more-than-human historical processes. The author argues that attending to the agency of nonhuman beings in shaping shared worlds requires acknowledging the open-endedness of these encounters and the ongoing work required to bring worlds into being.
