Panel BH23: NON-HUMAN AND
HUMAN BEINGS AND THEIR ENTANGLEMENTS WITHIN MUSLIM MILIEUX
Convenor: Araceli
Gonzalez-Vazquez (Laboratoire d´Anthropologie Sociale, Collège de France)
Short Abstract:
This
panel aims at promoting a broad discussion on non-human and human beings and
their entanglements within Muslim milieux.
Long Abstract:
The
anthropology of Muslim milieux involves the study of very different issues in
the treatment of the relations between humans and non-humans. Interestingly,
academic research has a long history of engagement with the analysis of the
co-existence of Muslim humans and non-human beings. This panel engages with
recent (re)thinking of human and non-human agencies (Descola, Haraway, Ingold, Latour,
Strathern, Viveiros de Castro, etc.) in order to focus on an anthropology of
alterity and an anthropology of the mingling of creative agents (Deleuze and
Guattari, 1987: 241-242; Kirksey and Helmreich 2010:546). Willing to adhere to
recent scholarship which promotes the exploitaition of ethnography,
ethnohistory and ethnoarchaeology´s potential for (re)thinking alterity, it
attempts to explore the role of religious discourses and practices in the
shaping of human and nonhuman relations.
The panel aims
at reflecting on the ontological tensions between different forms of being. A
merely orientative and non-exhaustive list includes humans, animals, jnun,
angels, shayatin, ´afarit, Iblis, Shaytan,… One of the main goals of this panel
would be to reflect on the voice and agency of the non-human.
The panel will
host accounts and reflections concerning the relationship of humans and
non-humans in Muslim milieux. Not restricted to: understandings of human and
non-human natures/selves, kinship relationships between human and non-humans,
bodies, experiences, embodiment, emplacement, discourses, practices,
narratives, self-narratives, memories, representations, mimesis, performances,
topologies, technologies of the self, ontological tensions, boundaries,
continuities, discontinuities, affects, emotions, materialities, traits,
traces, etc.
