According to Holbraad and Pederson, the ontological turn in anthropology was ‘not so much a matter of seeing things differently,’ but rather ‘a matter of seeing different things’ (2017, 6). Building on this shift, this paper proposes an alternative theory of reality, interalogy, which subsumes ontology within a broader-category theory. Proposed by the Chinese philosopher Geling Shang in 2012, interalogy offers a dynamic and relational view, encompassing both the being of objects and their becoming, that is their creation, inherent instability, and dissipation (Shang, 2012, 76). Derived from the Chinese concept of jian (閒), meaning interval, ‘interalogy’ (jianxinglun / 间性论) studies “interality” (间性, pronounced “jianxing”) or betweenness. The objectives of this proposal are twofold: first, to explicate the theoretical foundations of interalogy, drawing from both Western and Eastern philosophical traditions; and second, to explore the implications of this theory for the anthropological sciences. By incorporating process philosophy from thinkers like Whitehead and Deleuze, and integrating concepts from Buddhism and Daoism, this paper aims to introduce a new analytical framework in anthropology. The academic relevance of this proposal lies in its potential to diversify and decolonize ontological and epistemological perspectives within the discipline. By adopting an interalogical approach, anthropologists can gain a more nuanced understanding of cultural realities that emphasize relationality and process. Practically, this framework can inform methodological innovations, promoting more participatory and immersive research practices that better capture the lived experiences of different cultures. Ultimately, this paper argues that an interalogical understanding of reality can significantly impact theoretical and methodological approaches in anthropology, providing tools to address contemporary ecological, biological, psychological, and socio-economic challenges. *Would like to present in person but may have to present online due to work commitments
