520 |a In this article I review critical thought about cosmogony in the social sciences and explore the current status of this concept. The latter agenda entails three components. First, I argue that, even where cosmogony is not mentioned, contemporary anthropological projects that reject the essentialist ontology they ascribe to Western modernity in favor of analytical versions of relational non-dualism thereby posit a "counter-cosmogony" of eternal relational becoming. Second, I show how Viveiros de Castro has made Amazonian cosmogonic myth - understood as counter-cosmogony - iconic of the relational non-dualist ontology he terms "perspectival multinaturalism". Observing that this counter-cosmogony now stands in opposition to biblical cosmogony, I conclude by considering the consequences for the study of cosmogony when it becomes a register of what it is about - when it becomes, that is, a form of polemical debate about competing models of cosmogony and the practical implications that they are perceived to entail.
