Eduardo Kohn

His work focuses on human-nonhuman relationships, particularly in the Amazon rainforest.
Kohn conducted extensive fieldwork with the Runa people in Ecuador's Upper Amazon between 1996 and 2000.
His research explores semiotics, ecology, and indigenous perspectives to develop an "anthropology beyond the human." Kohn's approach combines ethnography with philosophical inquiry, challenging traditional anthropological methods.
