For the first time, this work explores the thread of astrology that runs through Syrian-Orthodox literature. Astrology’s disreputable position among the sciences is gainsaid by extensive textual examples from different genres. The richest source is the Syrian Book of Medicine, which elucidates the practice of divination, revealing itself as a treasure trove of Syrian texts (including translations of Hippocrates and the Geoponica).

Devisch convie à le suivre entre 1972 et 2003 dans le groupe-hôte de Yakaphones du sud-ouest du Congo et des bas quartiers de Kinshasa. L'analyse du deuil, de la malédiction, de la divination, des conseils familiaux et des masques dansants montre des modalités efficaces, attentives aux affects, de gestion du conflit, de domestication de l'altérité adverse et de régénération de l'univers local. Les communes néopentecôtistes s'affranchissent par la parodie, tel le pillage de Jésus, tant des modèles coloniaux que la politique du ventre. Une réflexivité met en évidence le tissage corps-groupe-monde activé par une résonance entre les multiples formes de vie. L'ouvrage s'achève par l'ensorcellement fatal viciant ces connexions. L'expérience conduit l'anthropologue, pris dans une alliance, à un renversement de perspective. Regarder l'ici depuis là-bas aide l'auteur et le lecteur à déceler une altérité en lui-même et dans sa culture natale. Pour mieux saisir l'en deçà du dire, la phénoménologie perspectiviste se tourne ci et là vers le dernier Lacan axé sur le corps parlant, le désir et l'indicible

This book explores the politics of artistic creativity, examining how black artists in Africa and the diaspora create art as a procedure of self-making. Essays cross continents to uncover the efflorescence of black culture in national and global contexts and in literature, film, performance, music, and visual art. Contributors place the concerns of black artists and their works within national and transnational conversations on anti-black racism, xenophobia, ethnocentrism, migration, resettlement, resistance, and transnational feminisms. Does art by the subaltern fulfill the liberatory potential that critics have ascribed to it? What other possibilities does political art offer? Together, these essays sort through the aesthetics of daily life to build a thesis that reflects the desire of black artists and cultures to remake themselves and their world.
