EN In this article, I seek to revisit the results of the research I conducted in Altai between 1994 and 2008. I consider whether posthumanist approaches can provide a new direction of analysis that better reflects my ethnographic experience, the centre of which was the Altai, perceived by its inhabitants as a constitutive, funda-mental or nodal entity. I am inspired by the ontological turn, understood purely as a methodological proposal. Departing from the descriptive notion of the ‘spirit of the mountains’, which is basic in the existing literature on the subject, I attempt to put into words the nexus of relations that emerged in the course of my research as ‘Altai’. In this paper, I offer a second look at a notion that had already disturbed me when I was conducting my research, but from which, without the influence of posthumanist approaches, I could not move away.
