Within the social sciences, other-than-human beings agency has often been denied and interbeings relationships have not been fully addressed. However, many indigenous worldviews and Western contemporary spiritual practices are shaping a very different reality, with various attempts to share the world with non-human beings, animate or inanimate, creating forms of relationships to the living.
This edited volume documents how humans deal with non-human entities in a large variety of cultural contexts. It focuses on ritual processes and how ritual creativity is mobilised to invent new ways of relating with more-than-humans. Comprising nine case studies, the volume is divided into three main sections that address successively daily interactions, political implications, and spiritual engagements. Cooperative interactions, kinship relations, senses of belonging, traditional healing techniques, non-human beings legal personality attribution, transformative experiences, and phenomenological relationalities are examined in various locations: West Africa, Buryatia, Estonia, Finland, France, Mexico, Nepalese Himalayas, Sweden and Wales.Jean Chamel: author's other books

Our series aims to bring together research on the social, behavioral, and cultural dimensions of sustainability: on local and global understandings of the concept and on lived practices around the world. It publishes studies which use ethnography to help us understand emerging ways of living, acting, and thinking sustainably. The books in this series also investigate and shed light on the political dynamics of resource governance and various scientific cultures of sustainability.

This publishing project was born in a house lost in the hills that surround Lyon, where we convened in July 2020 the panel (Re)connecting with Earth Beings: Ritual Innovation and Affective Entanglements in Contemporary Ecopolitics, hosted by the 16th EASA Biennial Conference. The congress was supposed to be held in Lisbon but went online due to COVID-19 pandemic. We thank Maria Dbiska and her friends who hosted us in this magical retreat. We also thank her, as well as Bertrande Galfr, for their involvement in the organization of this panel and in the start of the volume publishing. We are also grateful to the scholars who participated in this panel for their contributions and the productive discussions that followed.
Editing this multi-author volume was a long but also very rewarding process. It would not have been possible without the support and trust of the publishers, especially Elizabeth Graber, and the series editors, Marc Brightman and Jerome Lewis, who stood by us all along.
We are especially grateful to the authors. Each one of their chapters offers the reader insight into a specific cultural context, illustrating the great variety of modes of interaction between human and more-than-human. The peer reviewers shall also be thanked for their assistance in helping us to improve the quality of the volume and the content of every chapter.
A very special thanks to Michael Houseman, for bringing his expertise and contributing with an Afterword that makes this volumes contributions resonate harmoniously.
To our families for their loving support, reassurance and encouragement.

is an anthropologist and a senior Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) researcher at the Universit de Lausanne, Switzerland, from which he holds a PhD in Religious Studies (2018). His thesis examined the discourses and practices of the precursors of the theories of collapse (collapsologie) in French-speaking Europe. After investigating the global movement for the rights of nature that promote the attribution of legal personality to non-human entities, with the invention of ritual practices connecting humans and more-than-human persons, he works on sensitive, ritualized and aesthetic relationships with the high Alpine mountains and glaciers. Chamel has taught at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, the University of Lausanne and the Universidad Nacional Autnoma de Mxico (UNAM) in Mexico City.
