The Painter's Eye
The Painter's Eye:Paul-Henri Bourguignon's Haitian Photographs Erika Bourguignon (bio) Je ne regard pas. Voire me suffit. (I don't look. Seeing is enough for me.) —Paul-Henri Bourguignon I We of the industrialized world of the twenty-first century are awash in photography. As an anonymous Portside posting of March 9, 2012 reads: "As the camera shrinks in size, becomes ever present and hardly ever noticed, its impact just keeps growing." Who could…
Memory in an Amnesic World
In recent years, much first hand material has been collected by various institutions documenting the experience of Holocaust survivors. A constant stream of new primary documents and secondary analyses is being published. These accounts show some common themes, yet no two experiences are alike. In spite of this major effort at keeping memory alive, there is an equal push toward forgetting and/or suppressing knowledge of the Holocaust. For a numbe…

Haiti and the Art of Paul-Henri Bourguignon
In the spring of 1947, the Belgian artist Paul-Henri Bourguignon (1906-88) arrived in Haiti for a brief stay. He remained for fifteen months. What he found there affected his work deeply, and did so for the rest of his life. He had traveled widely before the war, exploring, beyond his own region, what were then far away and exotic places: Spain, Corsica, Yugoslavia, North Africa. He had felt deprived of the freedom to wander—among other freedoms—…
Suffering and Healing, Subordination and Power
This article is an argument that for women, possession trance constitutes a psychodynamic response to powerlessness by providing them a means for the gratification of wishes ordinarily denied to them. Powerful alters enable them to act out wishes they cannot express directly. Possession serves both as an idiom of distress and of indirect self-assertion, facilitated by ritualized, culturally structured dissociation
"Faith, Healing and "Ecstasy Deprivation
At a time when there is a health care crisis in the United States, there is widespread appeal to religious healing of various types. Adequate research in this area is limited.Terms such as "ecstasy" are used inconsistently, limiting the usefulness of the term, producing confusion rather than understanding. A cross-cultural comparative perspective is offered

The Social Construction of What?
The Nazi Officer's Wife
Edith Hahn was an outspoken young woman studying law in Vienna when the Gestapo forced her and her mother into a ghetto, issuing them papers branded with a 'J'. Soon Edith was taken away to a labour camp and when she returned home after months away she found her mother had been deported. Her boyfriend, Pepi, proved too terrified to help her, but a Christian friend was not. Using the woman's identity papers, she fled to Munich. There she met Werne…

The Thick and the Thin
The promise of interpretive theory has led Clifford Geertz to call for a new and different anthropology as well as a broad "refiguration of social thought" in the social sciences and humanities. This essay examines Geertz's theoretical program, including its application to the specific cases of Balinese trance and the Balinese theatre state. Special attention is given to Geertz's claim that interpretive theory is superior to conventional social s…
Music and Dance
Trance ritual selalu dikaitkan erat dengan musik-tapi mengapa, dan bagaimana? Gilbert Rouget menawarkan dan analisis diperpanjang musik dan trance, menyimpulkan bahwa tidak ada hukum universal dapat menjelaskan hubungan antara musik dan trance; mereka sangat bervariasi dan tergantung pada sistem makna dari konteks budaya mereka. Rouget ketat memeriksa korpus seluruh dunia data dari literatur etnografi, tetapi ia juga mengacu pada Alkitab, lapanga…
Mental Imagery Cultivation as a Cultural Phenomenon
The ability to experience mental imagery is innate in human beings. "Mental imagery cultivation" is proposed to identify technological traditions devoted to the deliberate, repeated induction of enhanced mental imagery, usually in select individuals. Mental imagery enhancement training increases the vividness and the controlledness of mental imagery for its functional and adaptive value. Mental imagery cultivation is usually embedded within magic…
Ritual Criticism
The author presents a series of case studies in which ritual and criticism require one another and focuses on those rituals that are not always explicitly or obviously religious. The rites discussed by the author include a Roman Catholic liturgy and the excavation of burial remains

Altered States of Consciousness within a General Evolutionary Perspective
This paper represents a reanalysis of data from earlier studies sup porting the hypothesis that cultural patterning of altered states of con sciousness (trance) conforms to a monothetic general evolutionary scale of sociocultural behavior. Global correlations using holocultural method ology show trance type to be positively correlated with four selected evolutionary variables, two related to societal complexity and two related to subsistence econ…

Magic
Comparison of aspects of magical belief and practice with elements identified in experimental parapsychology suggests that some magical phenomena may have their basis in what parapsychology in call psi. Similarities are found between magic and parapsychology in (1) conditions that facilitate the manifestation of magical and psi phenomena, (2) the mental processes implicated as effective in producing magical and psi phenomena, (3) the basic princi…

Trance and Shamanism
This article considers the implications of the definitions and typologies of trance and shamanism for the development and testing of cross-cultural hypotheses through a review of definitions, typologies, and use of key terms and related concepts in anthropology. Authors vary widely in their definitions and applications of terms: some uses are based on reasoned criteria, others on traditional practice; some establish typologies, others prefer cont…

Hortense Powdermaker, the Teacher
Hortense Powdermaker taught at Queens College for thirty years. In her autobiography, Stranger and Friend (1966), however, she is silent on that part of her career. As an undergraduate at Queens College during the war years, I recall Powdermaker's work as a teacher with specific reference to two of her courses, "American Minority Peoples" and "Culture and Personality." The former dealt with a field to which her own research has contributed. The l…

Sex Bias, Ethnocentrism, and Myth Building in Anthropology
Currently flourishing comparative studies of and by women have raised challenging questions for anthropological research and theory building. Although male bias has been widely discussed, other sources of bias are also seen to be at work, and their effects, it is argued, are not limited to research concerning the position of women. Myth building, instead of the construction of scientific theories, may result. The theory of a universal male domina…
