Multispecies anthropology is a new research trend in cultural anthropology that moves beyond conventional “anthropocentrism” and regards the world as being constructed through the entanglement of not only humans but all other species (multispecies), including animals, plants, fungi, and viruses. The core of multispecies anthropology. Entangled life and coexistence. Humans do not live alone but are beings who “live together” within relationships with other species. It moves beyond dualisms of humans and animals, nature and society, focusing on the coexistence of all living organisms. Expansion of agency (subjectivity). Rather than granting privileged agency only to humans, it considers animals, plants, natural environments, and even nonliving things to have their own capacities to act and respond. Multispecies ethnography. Through actual fieldwork, scholars depict how humans and other living beings influence one another and share worlds of experience through “thick description (ethnography).”
