For the Orang Rimba of Sumatra - and tropical foragers in general -
life in the forest engenders a kind of "connectedness" that is
contingent not only on harmonious relations between people, but
also between people and the non-human environment, including those
supernatural agencies of the forest that people depend on for their
spiritual and emotional wellbeing. Exploring this world,
anthropologist Ramsey Elkholy treats embodied action and perception
as the basis of shared experience and shows how various forms of
embodied experience constitute the very foundations of human
culture. In a unique methodological contribution, Elkholy adopts a
set of body-centered approaches that reflect and capture the
day-to-day, moment-to-moment ways in which people engage with the
world. Being and Becoming is an important contribution to
phenomenological anthropology, hunter-gatherer studies, and to
Southeast Asian ethnography more generally.
