This article examines interaction with spirits among the Luangan, a group of shifting cultivators in Indonesian Borneo. Through examples of different forms of Luangan spirit interaction, it interrogates the relationship between the spirit world and the natural environment, with special reference to what happens when the latter undergoes dramatic change. Inspired by Eduardo Kohn's understanding of how the spirit world is semiotically embedded within the rainforest environment, I explore how relations with nonhumans reflect historical and ongoing experiences of life and sociality in the forest and human domain, while superimposing a virtual relational landscape upon the natural landscape. It is proposed that spirit communication offers a means of refiguring human lives and alleviating debilitation, and that recurrent rituals enable Luangans to virtually maintain relations with unseen beings of the local environment, even where it has been thoroughly transformed through oil palm cultivation.

精神错位:印度尼西亚东加里曼丹的关系景观与环境变化

本文探讨了印尼婆罗洲一群正在轮换的中耕者Luangan与精神之间的互动。通过不同形式的Lu安精神互动的例子,它审视了精神世界与自然环境之间的关系,并特别提到了当后者经历急剧变化时会发生什么。受到爱德华多·科恩(Eduardo Kohn)对精神世界如何符号化地嵌入雨林环境的理解的启发,我探索了与非人类的关系如何反映森林和人类领域中生活和社会的历史和正在进行的经验,同时将虚拟的关系景观叠加到自然景观上。建议精神交流提供一种手段来改善人们的生活并减轻他们的衰弱,
