@book{2026:goletz:communicat, title = {Communication Beyond the Human: Conversing with Animals, the Dead and Deities among the Yukpa in Colombia}, year = {2026}, note = {The Yukpa from Sokorhpa in Northwestern Colombia converse with animals, the dead, and deities. Moving beyond influential theories on more-than-human relations from Amazonian anthropology, Anne Goletz introduces the concept of ›common ground‹ to examine a range of distinct communicative strategies. Drawing on detailed analysis of communication situations and narratives, she provides insights into present-day social dynamics in the Serranía del Perijá highlands, and relates the Cariban-speaking Yukpa to the emerging socio-cosmological framework of the Isthmo-Colombian Area. This ethnography thus offers an insightful conceptual perspective on communication beyond the human.}, edition = {1}, publisher = {transcript}, address = {Bielefeld}, series = {Kultur und soziale Praxis}, volume = {0}, author = {Goletz, Anne} }
