| Abstract: |
Multispecies ethnographies have begun to understand the sentient lives of nonhuman beings within increasingly human-dominated, ecological contexts of the Anthropocene, especially in India, where the close physical and emotional proximity of humans and macaques over centuries have led to intense interspecies behavioural exchanges and to slow, but irreversible, processes of synurbisation, wherein individual macaques have begun to adapt to urban ecologies. Drawing on our ongoing studies on the synurbisation of rhesus and bonnet macaque populations from across the country, I highlight, in this chapter, what living in altered socioecological environments might mean to both macaques and humans, and, in the process, reflect on the urban ecologies of our future. |
