Abstract

L’animisme, pour le définir en quelques mots, est une forme de culture et de religion à laquelle est associée une conception du monde et de l’homme toute particulière. Dans ce livre, Lothar Käser nous présente un modèle conceptuel qui peut servir de base pour comprendre les mille et une formes qu’il revêt à travers la planète. Car aujourd’hui encore nous trouvons des formes d’animisme dans beaucoup de sociétés traditionnelles sans écriture en Afrique, en Asie et dans les Amériques. Mais des traces non négligeables d’animisme se retrouvent aussi dans les cultures et religions avec écriture (judaïsme, christianisme, islam, hindouisme, bouddhisme), surtout dans leurs formes populaires. De plus, l’animisme resurgit aujourd’hui de façon inattendue dans les sociétés occidentales.Les personnes d’arrière-plan chrétien identifient souvent l’animisme avec l’occultisme et le spiritisme, voire le satanisme. Ce point de vue et le manque de connaissance des fondements conceptuels de l’animisme peuvent devenir un handicap sérieux pour ceux qui s’engagent comme envoyés d’ONG ou d’Églises dans des cultures marquées par l’animisme. Cet ouvrage fournira à toute personne désirant vivre et être efficace dans une telle culture les outils nécessaires à une bonne compréhension de ce qu’est l’animisme, véritable système d’orientation servant à maîtriser l’existence jusque dans le quotidien.

Abstract

Animism is an important part of many religions - from Shinto, Hinduism and Buddhism to Paganism and a range of indigenous religions - which connects the spiritual and material and holds that humans might not be unique in possessing souls or in being intentional agents. Over recent decades, research into animism has broadened its scope to consider, at one end, the vibrant roles of objects in human lives and, at the other, the possible similarities between humans and other species. "The Handbook of Contemporary Animism" brings together an international team of scholars to examine the full range of animist worldviews and practices. The Handbook opens with an examination of recent approaches to animism. This is followed by evaluations of ethnographic, cognitive, literary, performative, and material culture approaches as well as advances in activist and indigenous thinking about animism. "The Handbook of Contemporary Animism" invites readers to think creatively and critically about the world around us and will be invaluable to students and scholars of Religion, Sociology and Anthropology.

Abstract

"This book draws attention to a striking aspect of contemporary Japanese culture: the pervasive nature of discussions and representations of "spirits" (tama or tamashii). Ancestor cults have played a central role in Japanese culture and religion for many centuries; in recent decades, however, other phenomena have contributed to expand and diversify the realm of Japanese animism. For example, many manga, anime, TV shows, literature, and art works deal with spirits, ghosts, and more in general, with an invisible dimension of reality. International contributors ask whether these are manifestations of "traditional," ancestral spirituality in their adaptations to contemporary society, or forms of commercial merchandise created by the media for consumption. Spirits and Animism in Contemporary Japan takes seriously not only the modes of representations and their possible cultural meanings of spirits, but also and especially the metaphysical implications of contemporary Japanese ideas about spirits. The chapters offer analyses of specific cases of "animistic attitudes" in which the presence of "spirits" and spiritual forces is alleged, and attempt to trace cultural genealogies of those attitudes. In particular, they present various modes of representation of spirits (in contemporary art, architecture, visual culture, cinema, literature, diffuse spirituality) while at the same time addressing their underlying intellectual and religious assumptions."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
