Outer space largely exists at the limits of human knowledge and experience, mediated through a diverse range of imaginaries and discourses; each based to varying degrees on scientific data, news reports, fictional tales, creative imagery and historical cosmologies. Inspired by the radical othering of the cosmos and the often disorienting connections that can be made to it, scholars have introduced a “glitch” (Salazar 2023), a “wrinkle” (Helmreich 2017), or “inappropriate contiguities” (Bryld and Lykke 2000) to their research as a method to disrupt conventional understandings of outer space and modernity. Building on this scholarship and based on the contention that modernity and coloniality are so inextricably intertwined that dismantling one requires dismantling the other (Mignolo and Walsh 2018), this presentation explores the anthropological potential of deliberately eclectic and multi-cosmological research to disrupt taken-for-granted relations, values, and hierarchies that are bound up in Earthbound modern logics. It draws on multi-sited fieldwork in Thailand that juxtaposes the practices of two communities: space scientists working in an astronomical institute and a group of Buddhist ufologists that seek to commune with extraterrestrials. Studying these communities together challenges tired modernist dualisms of science/religion, and related binaries such as reason/belief, global/local, nature/culture that bolster contemporary forms of neo-colonialism. By combining vignettes from fieldwork with historic and contemporary cosmo-practices, this presentation considers to what extent forging unexpected linkages and engaging with the estranging possibilities of the cosmos, can contribute to decolonial methods for anthropological inquiry and understandings.
