- This monograph developed out of a series of theoretical and empirical engagements over many years. It draws from an extensive range of research sources to generate new and distinctive insights on the concept of personhood through an examination of how the question “who counts as a person?” is answered differently with reference to cultural worldviews but also in ways that modulate across the life course, as well as how personhood can attach to non-humans and inanimate objects. This examination involved the collection, analysis and synthesis of an extensive body of existing research from the ethnographic record that spans the globe.
