DESCRIPTION:(En anglais seulement) This lecture critically examines a curre
 nt tendency in human-animal\, critical animal studies and social anthropol
 ogy to look towards the ‘animism’ of indigenous communities as an alternat
 ive to the dominant ontological and legal distinction between ‘person’ and
  ‘thing’. It contributes to an ongoing conversation hosted by 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Facul
 ty of Law on legal personhood\, and to a broader conversation about the et
 hics of global governance. I first describe how ‘animal personhood’ is rel
 evant to a discussion about legal personhood in general. I then look at th
 e current jurisprudence on the granting of personhood to non-human entitie
 s and animals\, explaining the tensions this produces for law more general
 ly. The final part of my talk reflects on the ‘ontological turn’ in human-
 animal studies in recent years\, including the temptation to transpose thi
 s approach to the courtroom. In my conclusion\, I will suggest an alternat
 ive – perhaps radical – way forward in our ongoing efforts to make global 
 governance fit for purpose. \n\nYoriko Otomo is a Research Associate at SO
