“…While this regional literature has demonstrated ethnographically the embeddedness of human relations and exchanges with other material forms (such as inanimate objects, plants and animals; see, e.g., Traube, 1986), there has been a focus in the more recent independence period literature on the links between these kin‐based relations and broader spirit ecologies, including the circulation of more‐than‐human ‘bodies’ and things across time and space (Trindade, 2011; Bovensiepen, 2015; Palmer, 2015; Palmer & McWilliam 2019). Similarly, building on the literature from the so‐called ontological turn in anthropology, a wider regional literature has placed increasing ethnographic emphasis on the inseparability and interconnectedness of human and other life forms (see Tsintjilonis, 2004; Allerton, 2013; Arnhem, 2016; Sprenger, 2016).…”
