Human Animal

Humanism returns for the New Materialism in ‘nonhuman’ form as matter. New ‘matter’ and new materialism thus fashion the world to human advantage in the gesture of abjecting us. They commit us to the humanism of masochists. They offer an animistic and paradisiacal realm of immediate transactions, human to human, human to and with nonhuman, face to face, world without end. The impulse is tactically and strategically useful. But ‘matter’ will not help us if we fashion it so that it bears in its concept the signature of a human hand in its making. Can we do otherwise? Only by conceiving matter as what absolutizes what is not-one: matter from which no discipline will normally, normatively, produce an object or take its concept; on which heroical abjection will founder; matter non-human in ways the human animal can neither designate, nor ever count.

This article compares the ways personhood and collectives are conceptualised and constituted in two different ethnographic settings – the Grassfields of west Cameroon and Madagascar – and how this sheds light on the ways of conceiving the human-animal distinction. The first part of the article examines the means by which persons and collectives are conceptualised and constituted in both ethnographic contexts, while the second part analyses two modalities of the human-animal relationship – capturing and hunting – while relating them to “Malagasy and Grassfields personhood” respectively. In addition, an attempt is made to elicit the differences and similarities in the ways the human-animal distinction is conceptualised in both ethnographic contexts.
