An article by Professor Pirjo Kristiina Virtanen (University of Helsinki) of our research community, entitled “Speaking and Singing Firmly: Beings (Un)related and (In)activated by Language in Amazonian Academic Research” has been published in a special issue of the Journal of Finnish Anthropological Society (Suomen Antropologi).
The article examines the significance of more-than-human beings in the process of becoming a researcher and through their roles within research. By reflecting on over 20 years of research experience in the Southwestern Amazon, it looks at nonverbal and verbal modes of communication lived and learned with the Manxineru and Apurinã peoples.
This full special issue, edited by Pirjo Kristiina Virtanen and Minna Opas “(Un)relating and (un)learning with more-than-humans during ethnographic practice” is available as an open access publication here.
