Experiencing the dimension that lies beyond our empirical grasp of the world has always been a challenge for human beings, for it can expose the limitations of our agency. Such experience, while potentially terrifying, can also furnish a basis for religious faith or hope of a better future. The intercultural essays in this volume analyze ways of dealing with the beyond, including magic, religion, myth, and all-promising utopias.

A Man Comes from Someplace is a story of a lost world, a story in history of a multi-generational Jewish family from a shtetl in Ukraine before WWI. As cultural study, the narrative draws upon the oral stories of the author’s father, family letters, eyewitness accounts, immigration papers, et cetera, and cultural research. The narrative becomes a transformative space to re-present story as performance, a meta-narrative, and an auto-ethnography for the author to reflect upon the effects of the stories on her own life, as daughter of a survivor, and as teacher/scholar. Summerfield raises questions about immigration, survival, resilience, place and identity, how story functions as antidote to trauma, a means of making sense of the world, and as resistance, the refusal to be silenced or erased, the insistence we know the past and remember those who came before. In 2011, she found her way back to the place her family came from in Ukraine. The book is now being read by students in their ESL classes in Novokoonstantinov, Ukraine.

The “cultural turn” has been a multifarious and pervasive phenomenon in Western universities and modes of social knowledge since the early 1980s. This volume focuses on the conjunction of two disciplines where both the analytic promises as well as the difficulties involved in the meeting of humanist and social science approaches soon became obvious. Anthropologists and historians have come together here in order to recapture, elaborate, and criticize pre-Cultural Turn and non-Cultural Turn modes of analysing structures of experience, feeling, subjectivity and action in human societies and to highlight the still unexploited possibilities developed among others in the work of scholars such as Norbert Elias, Max Gluckman, Eric Wolf, E.P. Thompson and Raymond Williams.

Quels sont les processus de transformation d'une forme symbolique ? Comment s'importe-t-elle et s'intègre-t-elle dans des traditions et des rituels qui lui sont étrangers ? Pierre Déléage nous livre ici une belle étude de cas. Son enquête, à la croisée de l'anthropologie et de l'histoire, a pour terrain les relations qui s'établirent, au cours des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, entre des missionnaires catholiques et les Micmacs, groupe amérindien peuplant les côtes atlantiques de l'actuelle frontière séparant le Canada des États-Unis. Chez les Micmacs, la croix était un signe d'alliance diplomatique, guerrier et chamanique. Confrontés à cette situation, les missionnaires français usent d'un syncrétisme pédagogique pour propager la croix chrétienne. Quant aux « hiéroglyphes » micmacs, méthode d'inscription tout à fait exceptionnelle, ils se constituent à l'intersection des traditions pictographiques autochtones et de l'écriture alphabétique apportée par les missions. Cet ouvrage démontre la force d'innovation produite par les interactions entre des systèmes symboliques différents. Il décrit et explique comment l'hétérogénéité culturelle construit l'efficace des objets et des rituels, assure leur propagation et aboutit à l'invention de traditions nouvelles pour un groupe humain donné à un moment de son histoire.

Sitzen ist ein Phänomen, das in den Sozial-, Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften bislang kaum Beachtung fand. Lisa Landsteiners Studie rekapituliert nicht nur den aktuellen und interdisziplinären Diskursstand, sondern stützt sich auch auf ein ausgefeiltes Forschungsdesign, das Akteur_innen, die sich im Raum der Psychiatrie bewegen, fokussiert. Die empirisch gewonnenen Daten werden zu einem theoretischen Modell des Sitzens verdichtet, das interdisziplinär anschlussfähig ist und sich auf eine Vielzahl von psychologischen Nachbardisziplinen ausweiten lässt. »Was alltäglich erscheint, bekommt in der Studie Landsteiners seine ursprüngliche Bedeutung zurück.« Christoph Müller, Psychiatrische Pflege, 46/3 (2018) Besprochen in: PSYNDEX, 7 (2017)

Ce quatrième volume de la série Ninfa est une enquête sur les gestes de lamentation, lorsqu'un défunt se voit pleuré par une mère (Mater dolorosa), une épouse ou une jeune soeur (Ninfa dolorosa). Tout part d'une photographie extraordinaire de Georges Mérillon intitulée la Pietà du Kosovo (1990) et des questions qu'elle a immédiatement soulevées dans le monde médiatique comme dans sa réception par certains artistes contemporains, tel Pascal Convert. Suivant, une fois de plus, les leçons d'Aby Warburg, Georges Didi-Huberman "construit la durée" de ces images en interrogeant les métamorphoses du pathos et de ses formes gestuelles dans l'histoire. L'enquête sera donc en même temps serrée (sur le cas kosovar) et ouverte, explorant les rapports entre le présent le plus proche et le passé le plus lointain, l'Occident et l'Orient, le christianisme et l'islam, le modèle tragique et les formes bibliques de la lamentation. Il n'en fallait pas moins pour proposer, de ce geste, un essai d'anthropologie historique.

This collection considers the relevance of the Annales 'school' for archaeology. The Annales movement regarded orthodox history as too much concerned with events, too narrowly political, too narrative in form and too isolated from neighbouring disciplines. Annalistes attempted to construct a 'total' history, dealing with a wide range of human activity, and combining divergent material, documentary, and theoretical approaches to the past. Annales-oriented research utilizes the techniques and tools of various ancillary fields, and integrates temporal, spatial, material and behavioural analyses. Such an approach is obviously attractive to archaeologists, for even though they deal with material data rather than social facts, they are just as much as historians interested in understanding social, economic and political factors such as power and dominance, conflict, exchange and other human activities. Three introductory essays consider the relationship between Annales methodology and current archaeological theory. Case studies draw upon methodological variations of the multifaceted Annales approach. The volume concludes with two overviews, one historical and the other archaeological.
