The cosmic flow is, however, not amorphous; it is (as it were) heterogeni zed, made up of distinct entities. These entities exist by virtue of the fa ct that they have boundaries. In the context of a profoundly animistic onto logy and cosmology in the region – including among peoples who now belong t o monotheistic world religions – all of these entities are regarded as bein g alive; what flows through them is life itself, which coheres and coalesce s in certain places in the flow. Each entity is regarded as possessing or b eing inhabited by a spirit. Enspirited entities include human and animal bo dies, plants, mountains, stones, houses, states.\n\nThe boundaries around l iving entities are not fixed; they may grow larger or smaller, and they may die. The flow of life and power and the boundaries between entities making up the flow of life is believed to be susceptible to management and manipu lation – and humans aim to achieve this. The direction of flow, and in part icular its concentration in certain entities – individual humans, human-mad e objects such as jars or swords, naturally occurring entities such as ston es or mountains – is the focus of much ritual practice. Boundaries between entities are also the subject of much ritual, aimed at both maintaining and manipulating them – boundaries of the body, when spirit mediumship or spir it-induced illness occurs; those of houses, villages and cities, which may be managed through rituals of purification, fertilization and protection; e ven those of the state. Ways of managing boundaries and the flows of life i nclude walls, gates, tattoos and numerous others.\n\nThis panel invites pap ers that explore the dynamics of the relationship between flow and boundari es, both necessary features of life and potency. We welcome papers examinin g ideas as well as practices, apparent contradictions, the tensions between authoritative and marginalized cosmological perspectives, and the uncertai nties arising through the question of when to act to encourage flow and whe n to maintain boundaries.
