    Homola•ARTICLE•International Journal of…•2025

    This study examines the challenges that Chinese practitioners of divination face as their specialized knowledge becomes increasingly available online. Traditionally, diviners rely on body-based computation skills to memorize and apply complex techniques. These skills are the hallmarks of an expertise whose transmission is usually safeguarded within a personal relationship between master and disciple. However, some practitioners disclose these ski…

  • Dominique Casajus, Le Hasard mode d’emploi. Divination, arithmétique et machines littéraires

    Open Access•Homola, Stéphanie Homola•ARTICLE•L Homme•2022

    Anthropologue spécialiste des Touaregs du Sahel, initialement formé aux mathématiques, Dominique Casajus publie un livre insolite où il explore l’« étrange parenté » entre certaines formes de divination, de jeux, de mathématiques et d’écriture. Son intérêt pour cette question remonte à sa rencontre en 1984 avec Ghabdallah, un Touareg du nord du Niger, qui lui a enseigné une forme de géomancie appelée igezan. Comprenant que ce savoir se rapproche …

  • Chinese Eight Signs Prediction

    Open Access•Homola, Stéphanie Homola•ARTICLE•Social Analysis•2021

    How do ontological assumptions in divination shape the structure of the techniques and the way practitioners understand their capacity to know about human fate? In eight signs divination—a birthdate-based method used to predict the fate of an individual—human lives are said to be determined by Heaven, an infallible and impersonal force that regulates everything in the cosmos through the expansionary flow of correlative cosmology and qi transforma…

  • Jeu, divination et cognition. La portée de Jouer de Roberte Hamayon

    Homola, Stéphanie Homola•ARTICLE•Cahiers d Extrême-Asie•2021

    Cet article propose un compte-rendu un peu particulier de Jouer. Étude anthropologique à partir d’exemples sibériens, publié par Roberte Hamayon en 2012. Après avoir rappelé la démarche et les principaux apports de Jouer, il tente d’évaluer la portée du « jouer » en tant que nouvelle catégorie anthropologique qui pousse à repenser des pratiques à partir d’une nouvelle dimension, celle du « jouer » comme mode spécifique d’action dans le monde. Con…

    Les arts mantiques chinois sont fondés sur le postulat d'une dynamique cosmique cyclique dont la régularité rendrait les évènements futurs prédictibles. Cependant, du fait de la multiplicité des paramètres qui entrent en jeu dans cette dynamique, son déchiffrement est particulièrement complexe et nécessite des techniques élaborées de « calcul » du destin. Ce travail se concentre, en particulier, sur des opérations de décompte visant à produire de…

  • The Fortunes of a Scholar

    Open Access•Homola, Stéphanie Homola•ARTICLE•The Journal of Asian Studies•2014•Cited by: 1•References: 6

    Liu Zihua arrived in France in 1919 as part of the Sino-French Work-Study Movement. In 1940, he completed a PhD thesis in which he combined modern astronomy and the Yijing through "analogical reasoning" to discover a planet. After Liu went back to China in 1945, his efforts to win recognition came up against nationalist and communist anti-traditionalism but were eventually integrated into the intellectual revival of the 1980s. This study relies o…

  • Pursue Good Fortune and Avoid Calamity

    Homola, Stéphanie Homola•ARTICLE•Journal of Chinese Religions•2013•Cited by: 7•References: 3

    This article describes divination practices and analyses the evolution of their status in contemporary Taiwan. Unlike classical studies on divination, which focus on fortune tellers and aim to explain the symbolic system on which divination is based, this research carries out an ethnography of clients’ practices. Thus, in the first part of the article, I put divination practices in the context of the clients’ life stories and commitments of daily…
