Handbook of Contemporary Animism (Harvey Graham(Paperback
Animism is an important part of many religions - from Shinto, Hinduism and Buddhism to Paganism and a range of indigenous religions - which connects the spiritual and material and holds that humans might not be unique in possessing souls or in being intentional agents. "The Handbook of Contemporary Animism" brings together an international team of scholars to examine the full range of animist worldviews and practices. Over recent decades, research into animism has broadened its scope to consider, at one end, the vibrant roles of objects in human lives and, at the other, the possible similarities between humans and other species.
This is followed by evaluations of ethnographic, cognitive, literary, performative, and material culture approaches as well as advances in activist and indigenous thinking about animism. The Handbook opens with an examination of recent approaches to animism.
