L'eau sensible : Dynamisation et information de l'eau
Il est dit dans les sociétés traditionnelles que l'Univers ne fait qu'UN. Si l'on s'en tient à cette proposition, chaque discipline propose une vision du monde selon un concept et un cadre de référence qui lui est propre. Au final, tout est lié et étroitement interconnecté. C'est dans cet état d'esprit que l'eau est abordé, sous l'aspect méconnu et peu documenté qu'est sa "sensibilité" ou encore sa "dynamisation". L'objet principal de la réflexion est d'effectuer une synthèse de l'ensemble des recherches faites à ce sujet, sans en faire un catalogue, mais plutôt en essayant de retracer le fil d'Ariane qui relie les différents résultats, afin de les replacer chacun dans un ...
Shamans Through Time
A survey of five centuries of writings on the world's great shamans-the tricksters, sorcerers, conjurers, and healers who have fascinated observers for centuries. This collection of essays traces Western civilization's struggle to interpret and understand the ancient knowledge of cultures that revere magic men and women-individuals with the power to summon spirits. As written by priests, explorers, adventurers, natural historians, and anthropologists, the pieces express the wonder of strangers in new worlds. Who were these extraordinary magic-makers who imitated the sounds of animals in the night, or drank tobacco juice through funnels, or wore collars filled with stinging ants? Shamans Through Time is a rare chronicle of changing attitudes toward that which is strange and unfamiliar. With essays by such acclaimed thinkers as Claude Lévi-Strauss, Black Elk, Carlos Castaneda, and Frank Boas, it provides an awesome glimpse into the incredible shamanic practices of cultures around the world.
An Inquiry Into Modes of Existence
In a new approach to philosophical anthropology, Bruno Latour offers answers to questions raised in We Have Never Been Modern: If not modern, what have we been, and what values should we inherit? An Inquiry into Modes of Existence offers a new basis for diplomatic encounters with other societies at a time of ecological crisis.
Deadly Words
This 1980 book examines witchcraft beliefs and experiences in the Bocage, a rural area of western France. It also introduced a powerful theoretical attitude towards the progress of the ethnographer's enquiries, suggesting that a full knowledge of witchcraft involves being 'caught up' in it oneself. In the Bocage, being bewitched is to be 'caught' in a sequence of misfortunes. According to those who are bewitched, the culprit is someone in the neighbourhood: the witch, who can cast a spell with a word, a touch or a look, and whose 'power' comes from a book of spells inherited from an ancestor. Only a professional magician, an 'unwitcher', has any chance of breaking the succession of misfortunes which befall those who have been bewitched. He undertakes a battle of magic with the suspected witch, a battle which is eventually fatal.
