Description	The “new animism” is infl uencing not only many directions within religious practice, notably Paganisms, but interpretations (of these and other practices) within religious studies and anthropology. This chapter has, therefore, a dual focus. Historically within social sciences, “animism” has been used to signal otherness, a “superstitious” belief or faith in directive or authoritarian non-human entities. If, rather, “animism” is interpreted to mean the possibility of relationships between human and other-than-human people, within a “living landscape”, in which all players, be they stones, sparrows or social scientists, have their part, how does this infl uence both spiritual practices and the anthropological or sociological theories which attempt to account for those practices? Book Name: The Handbook of Contemporary Animism
