Body, Social agent, Identity, Dividual/Individual, OntologyAbstract
Ever since Mauss’ founding work, the notion of person is a leading theme in anthropology. Local conceptions of personhood grant the notion a sense of identity, role, status, and agency, and influence local practices of sociability and subjectivity. In certain ontologies, non-human people are included in the notion.
