Exploring a hitherto unexamined aspect of San cosmology, Mathias
Guenther's two volumes on human-animal relations in San cosmology
link "new Animism" with Khoisan Studies, providing valuable
insights for Khoisan Studies and San culture, but also for
anthropological theory, relational ontology, folklorists,
historians, literary critics and art historians. In Volume I,
therianthropes and transformations, two manifestations of
ontological mutability that are conceptually and phenomenologically
linked, are contextualized in broader San myth. Guenther explores
the pervasiveness of human-animal hybridity and transformation in
San expressive culture (myth, stories and storytelling, ludic
dancing and art, ancestral rock art and contemporary easel art),
ritual (trance dance curing, female and male rites of passage) and
hunting. Transformation is shown to be experienced by humans,
particularly via rituals and dancing that evoke animal identity
mergers, but also by hunters who may engage with their prey animals
in terms of sympathy and inter-subjectivity, particularly through
the use of "hunting medicines."
