This book is at the crossroads where a New Age sensibility, advancing like an ecumen of worldwide spirituality without national, cultural, or ecclesiastical frontiers, meets Latin America's syncretic religions, practiced by groups of people wiht African or indigenous roots or developed from the tradition of popular Catholicism. The Syncretic character of the two sensibilities makes both the New Age and popular religion behave like two, syncretizing and syncreticizable matrices of meaning. This book opens up a rich vein of debate with new dilemmas and discussions, that will provide a framework for a new field of study in anthropology. What new ways of signifying living and experiencing religion is the New Age generating in Latin America? What are its limits? Contributors are: Alejandra Aguilar Ros, Santiago Bastos, Lizette Campechano, Sylvie Pédron Colombani, Alejandro Frigerio, Jacques Galinier, Silas Guerriero, Cristina Gutiérrez Zúñiga,Nahayeilli B. Juárez Huet, José Guilherme C.Magnani, Antoinette Molinié, María Teresa Rodríguez, Deis Siqueira, Carlos Alberto Steil, Engel Tally, Renée de la Torre, and Marcelo Zamora.
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.

Aktuelle Debatten zeigen deutlich, dass Theater nicht mehr als entrücktes Kunstereignis, sondern in seiner sozialen Verortung und Wirkung reflektiert wird. Im Zentrum dieser stehen u.a. Prekarität und Machtmissbrauch, Repräsentation, Diversität, Barriereabbau und Vermittlung. Nicht selten werden dabei künstlerischer Anspruch und soziale Verantwortung gegeneinander in Stellung gebracht. Auch in der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion fehlt es bislang an Perspektiven, die diese beiden grundlegenden Dimensionen von Theater zusammendenken. Der Sammelband eröffnet eine interdisziplinäre Auseinandersetzung mit dem Zusammenhang von Struktur und Ästhetik in den Darstellenden Künsten der Gegenwart. An aktuellen Beispielen und im gezielten Transfer von Untersuchungsmethoden zwischen den wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen beleuchten die Beiträge, wie Soziales im Ästhetischen und Ästhetisches im Sozialen wirksam wird.
This book presents evidence-based approaches and techniques used to diagnose and manage organic solutes, oxidative stress, and antioxidant enzymes in crop plants under abiotic stressors. It discusses strategies in abiotic stress tolerance including osmoregulation, osmoprotectants, and the regulation of compatible solutes and antioxidant enzymes in plants. With contributions from 49 scholars worldwide, this authoritative guide is educational for scientists working with plants and abiotic stressors. Provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of abiotic stress, from abiotic stresses’ effects on plant growth, development, and defense mechanisms, to functionality of enzymatic and non-enzyma...
