This book explores human-animal relations amongst the Bebelibe of
West Africa, with a focus on the establishment of totemic
relationships with animals, what these relationships entail and the
consequences of abusing them. Employing and developing the concepts
of "presencing" and "the ontological penumbra" to shed light on the
manner in which people make present and engage in the world around
them, including the shadowy spaces that have to be negotiated in
order to make sense of the world, the author shows how these
concepts account for empathetic and intersubjective encounters with
non-human animals. Grounded in rich ethnographic work, Totemism and
Human-Animal Relations in West Africa offers a reappraisal of
totemism and considers the implications of the ontological turn in
understanding human-animal relations. As such, it will appeal to
anthropologists, sociologists and anthrozoologists concerned with
human-animal interaction.
