Abstract

La démarche comparative que Marcel Mauss et Henri Hubert élaborent entre la fin du XIXe siècle et le début du XXe siècle relève de logiques multiples. Comme méthode, elle est une stricte et minutieuse approche philologique des sources. Comme état d'esprit, elle relève d'une manière d'apprivoiser l'inconnu. Comme perspective critique, elle constitue un formidable outil scientifique d'objectivisation de la recherche.Cet ouvrage se propose de montrer quels ont été les principaux effets de ce comparatisme ni systématique, encore moins achevée, et que l'on doit reconstituer en suivant la manière dont les deux durkheimiens ont décidé d'aborder certains phénomènes religieux, en particulier le sacrifice, la magie et la prière. Ceci n'est pas seulement un nouveau livre sur Mauss et Hubert. C'est un livre sur les effets d'un comparatisme radical et subversif qui ne laisse pas en paix.

Abstract

Seeking recognition presents an important driving force in the making of religious minorities, as is shown in this study that examines current debates on religion, globalization, diaspora, and secularism through the lens of Hindus living in the French overseas department of La Réunion. Through the examination of religious practices and public performance, the author offers a compelling study of how the Hindus of the island assert pride in their religion as a means of gaining recognition, self-esteem, and social status.

Abstract

Evil eye is a phenomenon observed globally and has to do with the misfortune and calamities that we can cause to someone else out of jealousy of their possessions. The book engages with evil eye beliefs in Corfu and investigates the Christian Orthodox influences on the phenomenon and how it affects individuals’ reactions to it. Developing an interdisciplinary dialogue, it offers a fresh view of evil eye as a facilitator of wellbeing rather than a generator of calamities.

Abstract

Un dieu peut-il s'incarner dans une machine ? Une machine fait-elle un bon piège à dieux ? Comment se préparer ici et maintenant à l'émergence de formes de divinités inconnues, à travers quel genre d'expérience-limite ? La métaphysique occidentale a progressivement soustrait le concept du divin au domaine de l'expérience, au point de le réserver à la pure spéculation. Les sciences humaines l'ont reconduit sur terre, mais au prix de n'étudier que les mécanismes de la croyance ou de la pratique religieuses. C'est par un tout autre biais que ce livre aborde ce problème, en plaidant pour un véritable tournant expérimental en anthropologie. Dans la tumultueuse ville de Mumbai, on suit les aventures métaphysiques d'une machine télé-opérée à l'apparence du dieu Ganesh, qui permet à n'importe qui d'incarner Dieu et d'avoir un dialogue avec un interlocuteur. Très vite, les incarnants affluent ainsi que les interlocuteurs prêts à tester la capacité de ce dispositif à faire un bon support de divinité. C'est alors que l'anthropologie rejoint la métaphysique, car quiconque se prête à ce jeu d'incarnation, soit comme incarnant soit comme interlocuteur, prend le risque au cours du dialogue de voir ses certitudes s'effondrer et de devoir tout reprendre à zéro : Dieu, l'humain, la technologie, la politique, la religion ou encore l'écologie.

Abstract

This book is the first collection to feature histories of women in Western Esotericism while also highlighting women’s scholarship. In addition to providing a critical examination of important and under researched figures in the history of Western Esotericism, these fifteen essays also contribute to current debates in the study of esotericism about the very nature of the field itself. The chapters are divided into four thematic sections that address current topics in the study of esotericism: race and othering, femininity, power and leadership and embodiment. This collection not only adds important voices to the story of Western Esotericism, it hopes to change the way the story is told. Amy Hale is an anthropologist and folklorist specializing in contemporary esoteric history, art and culture. Co-edited collections include New Directions in Celtic Studies, and The Journal of the Academic Study of Magic 5. She has written widely on surrealist and occultist Ithell Colquhoun, and is the author of the Colquhoun biography Genius of the Fern Loved Gully.

Abstract

Pilgrimage, as a global activity linked to the sacred, speaks to the special significance of persons, places and events. This book relates these sentiments to the curatorship of the Camino de Santiago that comprises a lattice of European pilgrimage itineraries converging at Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. The detailed analysis focuses on the management of pilgrimage settings as heritage and tourism linked to the shrine of Saint James and gives particular attention to investment guidelines, land use planning regulations, environmental stewardship, information dissemination and museology.

Abstract

Orthodox Jewish women are increasingly seeking new ways to express themselves religiously, and important changes have occurred in consequence in their self-definition and the part they play in the religious life of their communities. Drawing on surveys and interviews across different Orthodox groups in London, as well as on the author's own experience of active participation over many years, this is a thoroughly researched study that analyses its findings in the context of related developments in Israel and the USA. Sympathetic attention is given to women's creativity and sophistication as they struggle to develop new modes of expression that will let their voices be heard; at the same time, the inevitable points of conflict with the male-dominated religious establishment are examined and explained.
