Abstract

A l'abri du regard des femmes, les hommes de l'île de Nouvelle-Irlande (Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée) passaient autrefois de longs mois à fabriquer pour leurs morts des sculptures de bois très élaborées qu'ils brûlaient ou laissaient pourrir sur place trois jours seulement après les avoir exposées sur le site funéraire. Nommées malanggan, ces spectaculaires effigies hétérogènes, dont beaucoup furent collectées avant leur destruction rituelle, font aujourd'hui partie des plus grandes collections mondiales d'art non occidental. A partir d'une importante documentation ethnographique provenant à la fois des sources anciennes et des informations récemment collectées par l'auteur, ce livre propose une interprétation de la fonction rituelle des malanggan et une analyse des droits complexes régissant leur utilisation. Destinées à évoquer le retour provisoire du défunt, ces effigies servaient à faire oublier le mort, engendré par les femmes, et à assurer sa reproduction par les hommes sous une identité permanente et mémorable. Calquée sur le processus de décomposition du cadavre, cette re-production s'inscrivait dans le cadre d'une idéologie de la régénération fondée sur l'idée que la vie naît sans fin de la mort. Chacun des nombreux types de malanggan qui s'accompagnait de rites spécifiques était associé à un clan ou lignage. Avant la destruction de l'effigie, des individus recevaient le droit et le savoir nécessaires pour diriger ultérieurement la fabrication et la mise en scène d'objets de ce type. Ainsi était assurée la pérennité du prototype mental du malanggan qui vivait dans la mémoire des hommes durant les longues périodes où il n'était pas matériellement actualisé. Parallèles aux droits fonciers claniques, les droits portant sur les malanggan circulaient sous une forme comparable à un prêt entre les clans des matrimoitiés exogames dont ils exprimaient l'interdépendance en matière de procréation.

Abstract

This second volume in the 'TRAC Themes in Roman Archaeology' series "seeks to push the research agendas of materiality and lived experience further into the study of Roman magic, a field that has, until recently, lacked object-focused analysis. Building on the pioneering studies in Boschung and Bremmer's (2015) Materiality of Magic, the editors of the present volume have collected contributions that showcase the value of richly-detailed, context-specific explorations of the magical practices of the Roman world. By concentrating primarily on the Imperial period and the western provinces, the various contributions demonstrate very clearly the exceptional range of influences and possibilities open to individuals who sought to use magical rituals to affect their lives in these specific contexts - something that would have been largely impossible in earlier periods of antiquity. Contributions are presented from a range of museum professionals, commercial archaeologists, university academics and postgraduate students, making a compelling case for strengthening lines of communication between these related areas of expertise."--Back cover.

Abstract

Astor-Aguilera argues that the western concept of religion and religious objects is not the framework for understanding Mayan cosmology or practice.

Abstract

How can we hold in the same view both cultural or historical constructs and generalities about social existence? Kinship, Law and the Unexpected takes up an issue at the heart of studies of society - the way we use relationships to uncover relationships. Relationality is a phenomenon at once contingent (on certain ways of knowing) and ubiquitous (to social life). The role of relations in western (Euro-American) knowledge practices, from the scientific revolution onwards, raises a question about the extent to which Euro-American kinship is the kinship of a knowledge-based society. The argument takes the reader through current issues in biotechnology, new family formations and legal interventions, and intellectual property debates, to matters of personhood and ownership afforded by material from Melanesia and elsewhere. If we are often surprised by what our relatives do, we may also be surprised by what relations tells us about the world we live in.

Abstract

What do rituals have to do with knowledge? Knowledge by Ritual examines the epistemological role of rites in Christian Scripture. By putting biblical rituals in conversation with philosophical and scientific views of knowledge, Johnson argues that knowing is a skilled adeptness in both the biblical literature and scientific enterprise. If rituals are a way of thinking in community akin to scientific communities, then the biblical emphasis on rites that lead to knowledge cannot be ignored. Practicing a rite to know occurs frequently in the Hebrew Bible. YHWH answers Abram's skepticism-"How shall I know that I will possess the land?"-with a ritual intended to make him know (Gen 15:7-21). The recurring rites of Sabbath (Exod 31:13) and dwelling in a Sukkah (Lev 23:43) direct Israel toward discernment of an event's enduring significance. Likewise, building stone memorials aims at the knowledge of generations to come (Josh 4:6).Though the New Testament appropriates the Torah rites through strategic reemployment, the primary questions of sacramental theology have often presumed that rites are symbolically encoded. Hence, understanding sacraments has sometimes been reduced to decoding the symbols of the rite. Knowledge by Ritual argues that the rites of Israel, as portrayed in the biblical texts, disposed Israelites to recognize something they could not have seen apart from their participation. By examining the epistemological function of rituals, Johnson's monograph gives readers a new set of questions to explore both the sacraments of Israel and contemporary sacramental theology.
