Seyhmus Dagtekin's To the Spring, by Night, is the magical evocation of a childhood spent in a small Kurdish mountain village in Turkey, with no electricity and little literacy, but with a rich tradition of tale-telling and legend that infuses every living thing, every rock, stream, and spring with its own spirit and inner life. We follow the young protagonist as his horizons expand and share his real and imaginary fears as we come to know his isolated community, whose only contact with the outside world is through the male inhabitants' compulsory military service and the smuggling that takes them down from the heights and onto the plain below. Changing seasons, family intrigues, feast and famine, all run their course in the shadow of an imposing citadel overlooking the village, long ago abandoned by mysterious forerunners who may have left a hidden treasure behind. At a graceful pace, details emerge about the village's history until a shocking truth is revealed. Written in a restrained but lyrical language, To the Spring, by Night is a captivating portrait of a lost world. From the book The earth on which we trod each day, where our feet communed with time and memory, and our heads with the promises of the heavens. The earth that sheltered our village, so small when again I see it from afar perched in time amid the mountains. Our village that among those mountains was of such small consequence, disappearing behind the merest rock, lost from sight around the mildest curve. To think that living beings and things spent their entire lives on earth, before returning to the water, in this small place. But it seems very big, vast even, when I see myself small in its streets, small upon its rocks, when I see my life unfold again dwarfed by this immensity that has known so many millennia.

L’idée selon laquelle l’être humain est accompagné, durant sa vie et parfois jusque dans l’au-delà, par deux entités, l’une bénéfique, l’autre maléfique, traverse l’histoire, de l’Antiquité à nos jours. Quelles ont été la place et le rôle des anges gardiens et des démons familiers dans les cultures et les religions ? Dans quelle mesure ces notions se sont-elles construites l’une par rapport à l’autre ? Quelle est la nature des liens qui se sont tissés entre les individus et leurs interlocuteurs, angéliques, démoniques ou démoniaques ? Quelles relations entretiennent ces entités entre elles ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles ce recueil d’études s’efforce de répondre, en traitant le sujet dans la longue durée, en variant les approches et les sources, en étendant le regard de l’Orient musulman à l’Occident médiéval et moderne, du monde hellénistique aux productions culturelles contemporaines. Au cours de ce voyage dans le temps et l’espace, le lecteur rencontrera une grande diversité de figures de l’invisible, aux fonctions multiples, débordant bien souvent les normes définies par les autorités religieuses. Gardiens et compagnons, agents d’une révélation, assistants du magicien, porteurs d’une sagesse ou d’un pouvoir divinatoire, pôles spirituels ou génies inspirateurs, les anges, daimōnes, démons et djinns ont tissé une gamme de relations très étendue avec l’être humain, des plus élevées au moins avouables. Mais que l’on ne s’y trompe pas : par-delà les aspects pittoresques de ces relations, le présent ouvrage contribue à renouveler de manière originale l’histoire de la construction des notions d’individu et de conscience de soi. Les différentes conceptions relatives à ces êtres invisibles tendent à faire de l’homme un champ de forces en mouvement, un être ouvert sur des états supérieurs de la réalité, qui visent à structurer son esprit et son rapport au monde.

In the ruins of a medieval palace in Delhi, a unique phenomenon occurs: Indians of all castes and creeds meet to socialize and ask the spirits for help. The spirits they entreat are Islamic jinns, and they write out requests as if petitioning the state. At a time when a Hindu right wing government in India is committed to normalizing a view of the past that paints Muslims as oppressors, Anand Vivek Taneja's Jinnealogy provides a fresh vision of religion, identity, and sacrality that runs counter to state-sanctioned history. The ruin, Firoz Shah Kotla, is an unusually democratic religious space, characterized by freewheeling theological conversations, DIY rituals, and the sanctification of animals. Taneja observes the visitors, who come mainly from the Muslim and Dalit neighborhoods of Delhi, and uses their conversations and letters to the jinns as an archive of voices so often silenced. He finds that their veneration of the jinns recalls pre-modern religious traditions in which spiritual experience was inextricably tied to ecological surroundings. In this enchanted space, Taneja encounters a form of popular Islam that is not a relic of bygone days, but a vibrant form of resistance to state repression and post-colonial visions of India.--Publisher description.
