It is a cosmology in which nonhuman\u00a0creatures and things are believed to have motivations, feelings and agency\u00a0very similar to or identical with those of human beings. Thus,\u00a0communications with and relations between the spirits, animals and\u00a0humans are fundamentally social. Animism is closely associated with\u00a0shamanistic practices and its inherent idea of shape-changing and of hybrid\u00a0existences between animals, humans and things.\u00a0Since the work of Tylor\u00a0(1871) animism has often been conceptualized as the original form of religion in hunter-gatherer societies hence characterizing the outset of human history. There is in current research, however, a growing awareness of the changing nature of animism, which may take different forms in different societies and thus is not solely tied to a hunter-gatherer way of life.\u00a0<\/em><em>Based on case studies, experimental evidence and cross-cultural\u00a0comparisons, the seminar papers explore whether there is a transcultural\u00a0essence and multi-period presence of animism, whilst the perspectives\u00a0taken represent archaeology as well as psychology and history of religion.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Organised by by Armin W.
