They All Want Magic
Elizabeth de la Portilla writes of the world and practices of San Antonio curanderas. As a scholar, an ethnographer, and a curandera in training, her parallel perspectives uniquely aid readers in understanding this subordinated culture. Retelling the stories various healers have shared, interpreting their answers to her probing questions, and describing the herbs and recipes they use in their arts, the author vividly illuminates the borderland context of San Antonio.
A Pre-Columbian World
The articles in this book conceptualize the ancient New World through new and varied approaches, from iconography to the history of anthropology. The many essays in this volume explore the vast vista of the Pre-Columbian world, including representations of history, memory, and knowledge in Andean visual imagery and Pre-Columbian narrative, the ideology of rain making, and Maya beliefs about animal transformations.
Le prophète rouge
C'est une histoire qui semble typique des milieux maoïstes dans la France de l'après-Mai 68, mais sur laquelle plane un fantôme. En 1971, six couples décident de faire ensemble table rase de leur vie passée au nom de leurs idéaux politiques. Leur chef est un ouvrier espagnol dénommé Fernando. Dans l'effervescence de l'époque, et suivant l'appel du président Mao, ils partent " enquêter " dans des foyers de travailleurs immigrés, s'établissent comme ouvriers en usine et emménagent collectivement dans un ancien couvent. Progressivement, au gré d'incessantes (auto)critiques, cette communauté bascule d'un engagement au service du peuple à une soumission totale à Fernando, devenu...
Communicating Myths of the Golden Age Comedia
These dialogues express different world visions. If the expected cultural exchange takes place, then an enduring relationship of tolerance and understanding forms between the two worlds. Bonds that surpass temporal, geographic, and philosophical specificity attest to humankind's universal and atemporal need for myth. The questions, proposed answers, and subsequent revisions will, it is hoped, coexist in an ongoing dialogue among ancient, Golden Age, and contemporary individuals.
They All Want Magic: Curanderas and Folk Healing
"Curanderas"--traditional healers in Mexican culture--bridge the gaps between multiple planes of existence--spiritual and material, modern and pre-modern--dispensing medicinal herbs, prayers, and instruction. Elizabeth de la Portilla writes of the world and practices of San Antonio curanderas. As a scholar, an ethnographer, and a curandera in training, her parallel perspectives uniquely aid readers in understanding this subordinated culture. Retelling the stories various healers have shared, interpreting their answers to her probing questions, and describing the herbs and recipes they use in their arts, the author vividly illuminates the borderland context of San Antonio. Scholars and readers of anthropology, sociology, Chicana and Chicano studies, and women's studies will savor the many layers of meaning and application in "They All Want Magic."
