1. Introduction -- 2. Being-Other-Than-Human: Ontological Mutability and Experience -- 3. Monsters and Carnivory: Tolerance of Ontological Ambiguity -- 4. Experiencing Transformation -- 5. The Enchantment and Disenchantment of the World of the San -- 6. (S)animism and Other Animisms -- 7. Conclusion, Ontological Ambiguity and Anthropological Astonishment.

Exploring a hitherto unexamined aspect of San cosmology, Mathias Guenther's two volumes on hunter-animal relations in San cosmology link "new Animism" with Khoisan Studies, providing valuable insights for Khoisan Studies and San culture, but also for anthropological theory, relational ontology, folklorists, historians, literary critics and art historians. Building from the examinations of San myth and contemporary culture in Volume I, Volume II considers the experiential implications of a cosmology in which ontological mutability-ambiguity and inconstancy-hold sway. As he considers how people experience ontological mutability and deal with profound identity issues mentally and affectively, Guenther explores three primary areas: general receptiveness to ontological ambiguity; the impact of the experience of transformation (both virtual/vicarious and actual/direct); and the intersection of the mythic, spirit world with reality. Through a comparative consideration of animistic cosmology amongst the San, Bantu-speakers and the Inuit of Canada's eastern Arctic, alongside a discussion of animistic currents in Western humanities and ethology, Guenther clearly paints the relative strengths and weaknesses of New Animism discourse, particularly in relation to San ontology and cosmology, but with overarching relevance.
