Abstract

An understanding of human becomings calls for an anthropology of non-human becomings, in a single spiral of life where humans and non-humans co-evolve and use their points of view to read and mould together the environment they constitute. The expression “habits of water” condenses a “simple structure, complex process” approach to sacred places, plants and animals, with reference to the “sacralization of nature” among the Kassena people of North-Eastern Ghana.
