Résumé
This book proposes a multispecies ethnography of human-elephant working relationships in Northeast India, in the local context of the Khamti population. Based on an extended research fieldwork, it analyses not only people's action but also animal, involvement in establishing and maintaining trusting relationships at the workplace. Thanks to Nicolas Lainé's rich descriptions, the reader can follow the capture of a juvenile forest elephant, and understand its transformation into a village elephant as a reciprocal process.
Both cognitive capacities and corporeal capabilities of humans and elephants are taken into consideration, as well as their mutual influences and the representations that arise from the specific contexts of interspecies communication and collaboration. The adopted multidisciplinary approach allows thinking the human-animal working unit in terms of cooperative interaction, and even intersubjective engagement - opening to reflexions on the mutually beneficial modalities of existence of humans and animals in a shared environment.
