Excerpt from Person and God in a Spanish Valley
The book Person and God in a Spanish Valley , by anthropologist and historian William A. Christian, is a classic twentieth-century study in the anthropology of Catholicism. It embraces key spatial and temporal dynamics of Catholicism through the analysis of devotional behavior across a range of intersecting axes and contexts. Among these, gender, class, and moment within the life course are shown to be of particular importance in shaping the qual…
Muslim Prayer on Picture Postcards of French Algeria, 1900-1960
From 1900 to 1960 French soldiers and visitors to North Africa sent home striking postcards showing Muslims in prayer. As inscribed objects they linked separated family and friends, and were collected, compiled and stored. Based on 2500 of these cards offered on an Internet auction site, this study examines the senders, the receivers, and the attitudes to the prayers in the messages. The latter range from indifference, apprehension, and ridicule …
Secular and Religious Responses to a Child's Potentially Fatal Illness in the Canary Islands
In the summer of 1985 two-year-old Lucia, the only child of my friends on the island of Tenerife, Lourdes and Eligio, went cross-eyed. After she was given corrective glasses, and then had an operation, she began to have dizzy spells and be unsteady on her feet. Finally in February, 1986, after a bad fall and vomiting, she was taken to a hospital, where a large tumor was found in her brain. She was immediately operated on, and a valve was installe…

Toribia del Val y el misterioso caminante de Casas de Benítez
La visión experimentada en 1931 por una mujer en su huerto de un pueblo de Cuenca durante una sequía demuestra la pervivencia, en vísperas de la Guerra Civil española, de la idea de un forastero o peregrino misterioso que aparece con instrucciones para el pueblo, una antigua manera de proponer soluciones celestiales a problemas colectivos
The Christ of Limpias and the Passion of Hungary
The residence of the exiled royal family of Hungary in the Basque village of Lekeitio sharpened the interest of monarchist Hungarians in the apparitions of the Christ of Limpias nearby in Cantabria, whose movements they interpreted as sympathetic suffering for Communist terror of 1919 and the dismemberment of the nation by the Allied powers in the Treaty of Trianon. The Passion and Crucifixion of Hungary became the dominant nationalist metaphor i…

L'œil de l'esprit: Les visionnaires basques en transe, 1931Traduit de l'anglais par Catherine Rouslin
Les photographies de voyants vendues au pèlerins à Ezkioga (au pays basque espagnol, 1931) ressemblent aux tableaux et aux images pieuses de saints en extase. Parmi les expressions et les postures des visionnaires, d'une grande variété, il y eut une sélection complexe et tous y prirent part : les voyants eux-mêmes, leur entourage, les journalistes, les photographes, le grand public. Ce processus de sélection, que nous pouvons saisir à travers les…

The Vaqueiros de Alzada, a cattle-herding people in the Asturian mountains of Spain, have one of the highest suicide rates in Europe and an attitude toward death that gives this statistic unusual meaning. This World, Other Worlds considers death among the Vaqueiros as a central cultural fact which reveals local ideas about the origin and destiny of humans, the relations of humans and animals, the configuration of the universe, and the nature of s…

Holy People in Peasant Europe
There are parallels to the North Mexican folk saints in Western Europe. What differences there are seem to follow naturally from the different context of Western Europe: the more pervasive influence of scientific medicine; the comparative stability of Western Europe governments; and above all, the more effective presence of the institutional Church

Augustine on the Creation of the World
Few passages of Scripture intrigued Augustine as much as the first sentence of the book of Genesis. In the Confessions, in his treatises on Genesis, in the City of God, and elsewhere he dwells on it and recurs to it, as though he felt he could not exhaust its suggestions and implications. His reflections on this sentence are ample evidence of the acuteness, force, and fecundity of his mind
