Marcello Massenzio propose ici une analyse fascinante de "figures" du Juif errant. Condamné à une errance perpétuelle pour avoir frappé Jésus dans la montée au Calvaire, le Juif errant devient un mythe ambigu dès le XIIIe siècle, porteur à la fois du thème du Juif témoin de la Passion et de motifs antijuifs. Une fresque de Giotto rend compte avec nuance de cette ambivalence, que mettent encore plus en évidence deux textes peu connus de Goethe. Au début du XXe siècle, le mythe est réapproprié par la culture juive, notamment dans une série de tableaux saisissants de Chagall. Après la Shoah, le Juif errant est plus que jamais porteur du destin juif-trouvant peut-être son incarnation dans le personnage troublant et obsédant du maître d’Élie Wiesel et d’Emmanuel Lévinas, l’étrange Monsieur Chouchani...

"The anthropology of Hinduism has amply established that Hindus have strong involvement with sacred geography. The Hindu sacred topography is dotted with innumerable pilgrimage places, and popular Hinduism is abundant with spatial imaginings. Thus Shiva and his partner, the mother goddess, live in the Himalayas, goddesses descend on earth as beautiful rivers, the goddess Kali's body parts are imagined to have fallen in various sites of Hindu geography sanctifying them as sacred centres, and yogis meditate in forests. Bengal similarly has a thriving culture of exalting sacred centres and pilgrimage places, one of the most important among them being the Navadvip-Mayapur sacred complex, Bengal's greatest site of guru-centred Vaishnavite pilgrimage and devotional life. The main question my book seeks to answer is what sites and senses of place beyond physical geographical ones can do to our notions of space/place, affect, and sanctity. While the contemporary anthropology of place and embodiment, following Edward Casey's philosophy (1993), is dominated by the idea of body-in-place, my book seeks to extend his formulations by also analysing cultural constructions and experiences of place in the body, mind etc. Traveling through both exterior and interior landscapes, I show that the practitioner inhabits Krishna's world through every daily religious practice. The synaesthesia that results from the overlap of these different planes of experience confirms the intensely transformative power of Vaishnava ritual processes"--Provided by publisher.

In The Life and Work of Ernesto de Martino , Flavio A. Geisshuesler offers a comprehensive study of one of Italy's most colorful historians of religions. The book inserts de Martino's dramatic life trajectory within the intellectual climate and the socio-political context of his age in order to offer a fresh perspective on the evolution of the discipline of religious studies during the 20th century. Demonstrating that scholarship on religion was animated by moments of fear of the apocalypse, it brings de Martino's perspective into conversation with Mircea Eliade, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Clifford Geertz in order to recover an Italian approach that promises to redeem religious studies as a relevant and revitalizing field of research in the contemporary climate of crisis.
