Recalibrating alterity, difference, ontology
anthropological engagements with human and non-human worlds
Synnøve Bendixsen
pp. 1-40
How does one measure and analyze human alterity and difference in an interconnected and ever-globalizing world? This chapter contextualizes and critically assesses the impact of what has often been dubbed "the ontological turn" within anthropology in order to provide some answers to these questions. Mapping the highly variegated and multiplex terrain covered by this turn, we outline three broad domains of its impact (vistas, materialities and politics). Juxtaposing antagonistic positions, the Introduction provides a context for the book's exploration of the turn's empirical and theoretical limits, accomplishments and potential for the discipline.
