From the perspective of Western modernity, humanity inhabits a disenchanted cosmos. Yet the vast majority of cultures throughout human history treat spirits as very real persons, members of a cosmic society who interact with humans and control their fate. In most cultures, even today, people are but a small part of an enchanted universe misconstrued by the transcendent categories of "religion" and the "supernatural." The New Science of the Enchanted Universe shows how anthropologists and other social scientists must rethink these cultures of immanence and study them by their own lights.

Il 21 aprile 1966 Gregory Bateson – antropologo e padre dell’Ecologia della Mente - tenne un discorso alla conferenza “Two Worlds Symposium", presso lo State College di Sacramento, California. Quella che ascolterete è la trascrizione integrale di quell’intervento. Era iniziata proprio allora la mobilitazione degli studenti contro la guerra del Vietnam; quegli studenti erano parzialmente consapevoli di essere nati in un mondo impazzito ma disorientati e pieni di rabbia per non essere in grado di capirne le vere origini.

Journey without End chronicles the years-long journey of "extracontinentales"—African and South Asian migrants moving through Latin America, toward the United States.

Non c'è canzone al mondo capace di scatenare entusiasmi di piazza, cori ed euforia come Bella ciao, ma allo stesso tempo non c'è canzone così capace di suscitare dibattiti e dividere gli animi. Le note e le parole che tutti conosciamo nascondono un'energia che non ha pari nella musica popolare. In ogni manifestazione pubblica, a ogni anniversario, le note di Bella ciao sono simbolo di libertà e di liberazione. Ma dove nasce questa canzone?

Since the dawn of time, magic has been the node around which all human activities and culture revolve. As magic entered the development of science, art, philosophy, religion, myth, and psychology, it still retained its essence: that we have a dynamic connection with all other forms of life. Exploring the source magic that flows beneath the surface of culture and occulture throughout the ages, Carl Abrahamsson offers a “magical-anthropological” journey from ancient Norse shamanism to the modern magick of occultists like Genesis P-Orridge.

Was ist das Patriarchat, und wie ist es entstanden? Jahrhundertelang sahen Gesellschaften männliche Vorherrschaft als natürlich an. Was aber, wenn wir nicht davon ausgehen, dass Männer stets über Frauen herrschten? Wenn wir die Ungleichheit der Geschlechter als etwas Fragiles wahrnehmen, das immer wieder neu durchgesetzt werden muss?

Paolo Malaguti seleziona alcuni termini dialettali veneti entrati nella propria mitologia, ne dà una piccola storia linguistica, appoggiandosi a dizionari e storie della lingua, e poi lascia che il suono della parola prenda a evocare immagini, persone, eventi di un’infanzia e di una giovinezza sempre più distanti, veloci come i cambiamenti che stanno interessando quel mondo che il Veneto era, e di cui anche le tracce più profonde stanno sbiadendo.

Philosophy, Socrates declared, is the art of dying. This book underscores that it is also the art of learning to live and share the earth with those who have come before us. Burial, with its surrounding rituals, is the most ancient documented cultural-symbolic practice: all humans have developed techniques of caring for and communicating with the dead.

Mona, bufona, bruja, espía, mal espíritu o caníbal. Estos fueron algunos nombres que la población local utilizó para referirse a Heike Behrend durante sus investigaciones de campo en África Oriental. Con el tiempo, comprendió el significado de estos calificativos: eran formas que tenían los pueblos estudiados para referirse a lo extraño, a lo ajeno a la comunidad. En concreto, «mona» fue el nombre con el que se refirieron a ella los habitantes del pueblo Bartabwa, en Kenia, con el que convivió un tiempo.

Editors Ann Todd Jealous and Caroline T. Haskell, both experienced psychotherapists skilled at facilitating dialogue about racial issues, are cognizant of the challenges that even the thought of such conversations often presents. Their book is based on the premise that for positive and lasting change to occur, hearts as well as minds must be opened.

We think we know cultural appropriation when we see it. Blackface or Native American headdresses as Halloween costumes—these clearly give offense. But what about Cardi B posing as the Hindu goddess Durga in a Reebok ad, AA's twelve-step invocation of God, or the earnest namaste you utter at the end of yoga class? Liz Bucar unpacks the ethical dilemmas of a messy form of cultural appropriation: the borrowing of religious doctrines, rituals, and dress for political, economic, and therapeutic reasons.
