Abstract

Abstract Examining personal narratives written by field primatologists, this essay argues that habituation—the process of accustoming a free-living animal to the researcher’s presence—produces “habituated knowledges.” These knowledges and knowledge-making practices recognize other species as co-participants in knowledge production and rewrite the boundaries of the researcher’s self to include nonhuman study subjects.
