Cet ouvrage se veut un ouvrage d’anthropologie. L’auteur s’est efforcé de mettre en rapport deux techniques : la possession et le jeu dramatique, techniques appartenant à des cultures bien différentes, mais qui mettent en jeu des possibilités psycho-physiologiques qui appartiennent à notre espèce humaine. Dans l’expression dramatique, la prise de conscience que le moi social n’est qu’une potentialité peut être suivie de débuts de réorganisation de la personnalité... Mais tandis que la possession ne produit qu’une réorganisation limitée dans le temps, le jeu dramatique, à l’instar de la psychanalyse, permettrait une réorganisation plus profonde. Ne pourrait-on pas penser qu’un état de transe induit par des pratiques de jeûne ou par toute autre technique amenant à la transe, a pu conduire des hommes à se sentir habités par une force inconnue qu’ils ont appelée dieu ou Dieu ?

Pierre Métais a partagé pendant de très longues années la vie des tribus canaques de nouvelle-Calédonie, notamment celles de la région de la Foa. Pour des raisons multiples (effacement de la mémoire orale, départ des jeunes vers l’école et des adultes vers la ville et les villages, effondrement des structures d’autorité), le respect des terres de chacun est souvent transgressé de manière parfois radicale (spoliation, captation d’héritage, notamment celui des femmes ou des absents). Profondément heurté par ces conflits entre familles dans les tribus, Pierre Métais plaide en faveur de l’élaboration d’un ‘cadastre’ des biens des habitants des tribus. Et comme pour comprendre l’organisation et les valeurs d’une société contemporaine il faut s’appuyer sur son histoire vivante - bien que souvent devenue mythe - il s’est attaché à montrer ce qu’est la terre, valeur première pour la société mélanésienne : la terre-histoire (celle des souches, des emplacements des clans et des migrations) ; la terre-livre où sont inscrits les titres de noblesse, les hiérarchies sociales (celle des lignages) qui conditionnent les droits et les devoirs ; la terre cultivée qui nourrit et permet par ses produits de se marier, d’être enterré, etc. ; la terre inaliénable que les générations ont pour mission de transmettre ; la terre possession (et non propriété) collective et individuelle ; la terre qui change (occidentalisation, modification du mode de vie indigène, variation de la démographie, etc.). Riche en références profondes sur des problèmes et des situations que l’on peut aisément appliquer à d’autres sociétés, cet ouvrage empreint d’humanisme porte la marque d’une longue expérience de terrain ; il est agrémenté de nombreux schémas, cartes et dessins, œuvres de l’auteur, d’un géomètre et de Mélanésiens.

“This wonderfully readable and timely book takes readers on an intellectually compelling tour of land rights, customs, and practices across an impressive range of landscapes including pre-feudal Scandinavia, pre-Columbian America, the colonisation of the Caribbean and Ireland… Byer powerfully demonstrates the need to embed land laws within their geographical conditions and limits.” -Nicole Graham, Professor and Associate Dean Education, Sydney Law School, The University of Sydney, Australia; author of Lawscape: Property, Law, Environment (Routledge, 2011) “This book uniquely brings together the usually disconnected domains of landscape, law, place, property and justice into a cohesive whole. This will become an invaluable source to readers seeking a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary scholarly questioning that is unsettling the once so seemingly settled absolute right of property.” -Kenneth R. Olwig, Emeritus Professor of Landscape Architecture, Swedish University of Agricultural Science, Alnarp This open access book presents a legal geography of property rights in land through the lenses of landscape and critical spatial justice. It seeks to reassert the importance of landscape and place in property as an alternative to abstract concepts of property which dominate contemporary thinking. It investigates property’s origins and uptake in the common law through the lenses of landscape and spatial justice, providing a genealogy of property, from its early origins in pre-feudal Scandinavia to its development as a cornerstone concept in English common law. It offers a new perspective and analytical tools to reconsider many accepted approaches to land in the law today. This book also contributes both to the decolonization of property law and critiques of property’s unsustainability, as well as the examination of the role of law itself in facilitating large scale land changes that destroy place, and the ramifications of this process. As such, it should be of interest to inter-disciplinary scholars working in the socio-legal, environmental and property law fields Amanda Byer is Post-doctoral Researcher at the Sutherland School of Law, University College Dublin, Ireland. .

Witchcraft and magic are topics of enduring interest for many reasons. The main one lies in their extraordinary interdisciplinarity: anthropologists, folklorists, historians, and more have contributed to build a body of work of extreme variety and consistence. Of course, this also means that the subjects themselves are not easy to assess. In a very general way, we can define witchcraft as a supernatural means to cause harm, death, or misfortune, while magic also belongs to the field of supernatural, or at least esoteric knowledge, but can be used to less dangerous effects (e.g., divination and astrology). In Western civilization, however, the witch hunt has set a very peculiar perspective in which diabolical witchcraft, the invention of the Sabbat, the persecution of many thousands of (mostly) female and (sometimes) male presumed witches gave way to a phenomenon that is fundamentally different from traditional witchcraft. This Special Issue of Religions dedicated to Witchcraft, Demonology, and Magic features nine articles that deal with four different regions of Europe (England, Germany, Hungary, and Italy) between Late Medieval and Modern times in different contexts and social milieus. Far from pretending to offer a complete picture, they focus on some topics that are central to the research in those fields and fit well in the current “cumulative concept of Western witchcraft” that rules out all mono-causality theories, investigating a plurality of causes.
