Personhood and relationality have re-animated debate in and between many disciplines. We are in the midst of a simultaneous ontological turn, a (re)turn to things and a relational turn, and also debating a new animism. It is increasingly recognised that the boundaries between the natural and social sciences are of heuristic value but might not adequately describe reality of a multi-species world. Following rich and provocative dialogues between ethnologists and Indigenous experts, relations between the received knowledge of Western Modernity and that of people who dwell and move within different ontologies have shifted. Reflection on human relations with the larger-than-human world can no longer rely on the outdated assumption that nature and cultures already accurately describe the lineaments of reality.
