Abstract

Landscape is a powerful factor in the operation of memory because of the associations narrators make between the local landscape and the events of the stories they tell. Ancestors and mythological events often become fixed in a specific landscape and act as timeless reference points.

Abstract

Des ethnologues, des hellénistes, un assyriologue, une médiéviste, conscients du risque d'ethnocentrisme que fait peser l'utilisation de la catégorie de la 'présence' dans le champ du religieux, ont cependant placé cette abstraction au centre de leurs travaux: ils ont fait de la 'présence' un dénominateur commun dans un large spectre de catégories comparatives que l'on a coutume d'étudier séparément, comme la divination, le sacrifice, la possession.
