In the last twenty years, the anthropology of nature in France and multispecies ethnography in the United States have questioned the classical oppositions between nature and culture on which anthropology has built its comparisons between different societies, and brought new objects of analysis at different ontological and relational scales. In this session organized jointly between Collège de France and INALCO, we will question how these transformations within anthropology have changed our vision of Asian societies, by animating discussion between the two prominent representants of these intellectual trends, Philippe Descola and Anna Tsing, and Wang Mingming and Sophie Houdart who have confronted their analyses with their own reflections in China and Japan.
