Abstract

The article aims at presenting more-than-human anthropology as a research model, which I have adapted in a scientific project conducted in the nature conservation site in the Gnieźnieńskie Lakeland. By drawing upon the works of Anna Tsing, Deborah Bird Rose and Timothy Ingold, I propose to see more-than-human perspective as encouraging training in natural sciences, while simultaneously opening the possibility of thinking and writing about the world in more relational terms. I argue that attention to the nonhumans is an ethical act that enacts connectivity and responsibility, as well as challenge the understanding of the human as a bounded entity, and a sole producer of meaning.
