The Green Labyrinth
In "The Green Labyrinth", Fraser journeys deep into the jungle of the Amazon in the company of shamans, traditional spiritualists practicing ancient rituals. At the heart of Fraser's quest lies the mind-expanding drug "ayahuasca", a gateway to worlds beyond her own, to a better understanding of the mysteries of existence.
Beyond 2012: Catastrophe or Awakening?
An illustrated, encyclopedic overview of the prophecies, calendars, and theories that indicate the year 2012 is a threshold of great change for humanity • Looks at the scientific and anthropological evidence for the rare galactic alignment due to occur in December 2012 • Sifts through the catastrophic theories to show what we might really expect in 2012 In December of 2012 the Mayan Calendar’s Great Cycle will come to an end. Opinion remains divided as to whether apocalyptic scenarios of worldwide destruction or utopian visions of a spiritually renewed humanity will prevail after this key date has passed. What is certain, however, is that a rare galactic alignment will occur, one so un...

The Neo-Indians
The Neo-Indians is a rich ethnographic study of the emergence of the neo-Indian movement—a new form of Indian identity based on largely reinvented pre-colonial cultures and comprising a diverse group of people attempting to re-create purified pre-colonial indigenous beliefs and ritual practices without the contaminating influences of modern society. There is no full-time neo-Indian. Both indigenous and non-indigenous practitioners assume Indian identities only when deemed spiritually significant. In their daily lives, they are average members of modern society, dressing in Western clothing, working at middle-class jobs, and retaining their traditional religious identities. As a result of t...

Néo-Indiens (Les)
Les Inca de Tintin en chair et en os ? En 2001, le président du Pérou Alejandro Toledo s’est fait introniser en Inca à Machu Picchu par des chamanes qui ont présenté des offrandes aux dieux des montagnes. Le président de Bolivie Evo Morales s’est fait introniser dans le temple de Tiwanaku habillé en Aymara. Jacques Galinier et Antoinette Molinié nous montrent comment le « néo-Indien » qui émerge en Amérique latine ne sort ni d’une monographie ethnographique, ni d’un métissage antiraciste. Mais de notre culture télévisuelle et de Disneyland. Il s’habille en prince aztèque ou en Inca les jours de fête, et ses vêtements traditionnels inspirent les stylistes californiens. Il ne danse plus pour la pluie, mais pour les touristes. Il pille les écrits des ethnologues pour découvrir ses rituels. Un phénomène déconcertant mélangeant tour-opérateurs, nouvelles spiritualités, ethnologie et altermondialisme. Jacques Galinier et Antoinette Molinié, ethnologues américanistes, sont directeurs de recherche du CNRS au Laboratoire d’ethnologie et de sociologie comparative à l’université Paris-X-Nanterre.
Los neo-indios
Este libro presenta la génesis de una cultura que está surgiendo en todo el continente. Su efervescente inventiva es, sin duda, un fenómeno que se inscribe en la globalización. Sus diseñadores, oportunos navegantes de Internet, mofándose de los historiadores y de los antropólogos, realizan una especie de procesamiento de texto. Incesantemente aplican la técnica del “copiar y pegar”, creando así re-ensamblajes a partir de las culturas precolombinas imperiales, reinventándolas en gran medida. Su objetivo: celebrar el pasado pre-hispánico, glorificar la autoctonía y pureza de la raza india, arraigarse en lo local…y, a la vez, reivindicar una religión global para el tercer milenio. No están interesados en adoptar una “neo-indianidad” a tiempo completo: cada cual la vive a su manera, al ritmo de las fiestas y de la captación de “energías”. Esta obra presenta sus rituales, creencias, experiencias místicas, diversiones así como su business.
