Kupilikula: Governance and the Invisible Realm in Mozambique
ISBN: 9780226894058 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. On the Mueda plateau in northern Mozambique, sorcerers are said to feed on their victims, sometimes "making" lions or transforming into lions to literally devour their flesh. When the ruling FRELIMO party subscribed to socialism, it condemned sorcery beliefs and counter-sorcery practices as false consciousness, but since undertaking neoliberal reform, the party--still in power after three electoral cycles--has "tolerated tradition," leaving villagers to interpret and engage with events in the idiom of sorcery. Now, when the lions prowl plateau villages, suspected sorcerers are often lynched....

Ethnographic Sorcery
ISBN: 9780226893983 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. According to the people of the Mueda plateau in northern Mozambique, sorcerers remake the world by asserting the authority of their own imaginative visions of it. While conducting research among these Muedans, anthropologist Harry G. West made a revealing discovery-for many of them, West's efforts to elaborate an ethnographic vision of their world was itself a form of sorcery. In Ethnographic Sorcery, West explores the fascinating issues provoked by this equation. According to the people of the Mueda plateau in northern Mozambique, sorcerers remake the world by asserting the authority of their own imaginative... |
