Une voie de guérison spirituelle Après avoir longtemps pratiqué la médecine chinoise, Eliot Cowan a été initié par des chamanes amérindiens, les Huichols, à soigner grâce à l'aide de l'esprit des plantes. Il utilise depuis lors cette technique avec ses nombreux patients. Ce soin fonctionne en partie du fait qu'il a un point de vue assez large. Il ne regarde pas avec les seuls yeux de la physique et de la chimie, mais il voit les êtres humains comme des expressions de forces naturelles divines. Il va au plus profond du mental et des émotions humaines. Il donne une importance primordiale à l'esprit, qui est le coeur mystérieux de nos vies. L'auteur nous raconte ainsi ses expériences et nous permet de découvrir comment communiquer directement par le rêve avec l'esprit des plantes . utiliser les connaissances profondes transmises par les plantes, elles-mêmes, pour soigner . faire le lien entre les plantes et un diagnostic fondé sur les cinq Eléments de la médecine chinoise. Récit vivant des expériences initiatiques de l'auteur avec des chamanes amérindiens, cet ouvrage pose les fondements d'une approche du soin qui, au-delà des dimensions physiques et énergétiques, touche à la dimension spirituelle de l'homme.

A crucial question throughout the Middle Ages, the relationship between body and spirit cannot be understood without an interdisciplinary approach – combining literature, philosophy and medicine. Gathering contributions by leading international scholars from these disciplines, the collected volume explores themes such as lovesickness, the five senses, the role of memory and passions, in order to shed new light on the complex nature of the medieval Self.

In recent years, critical interest in francophone literature has become increasingly pronounced. In the case of the French Caribbean, the work of several writers (Aime Cesaire, Frantz Fanon, Edouard Glissant and Patrick Chamoiseau, for example) has gained international recognition, and has formed a vital part of more general debates on history, culture, language and identity in the post colonial world. The majority of such writers, however, have been male and, perhaps recalling the preference that France has always shown for the island, have come in large part from Martinique. Mapping a Tradition: Francophone Women's Writing from Guadeloupe aims to explore a different side of francophone Caribbean writing through the examination of selected novels by Jacqueline Manicom, Michele Lacrosil, Maryse Conde, Simone Schwarz-Bart and Dany Bebel-Gisler. Placing the work of these writers in the context of that of their better-known, male counterparts, this study argues that it has provided an important mode of intervention in, and disruption of, a literary tradition which has failed to address questions of sexual difference and has often excluded issues relating to French Caribbean women. At the same time, this study suggests that Guadeloupean women's writing of the last thirty years may he seen to constitute a 'tradition' in itself, replete with its own influences and inheritances. At once within, and outside the 'dominant' tradition, women's writing from Guadeloupe - and Martinique - has come to occupy a position at the forefront of contemporary efforts to expand and redefine a still-burgeoning corpus of literary and theoretical work.

Michael Uzendoski's theoretically informed work analyzes value from the perspective of the Napo Runa people of the Amazonian Ecuador. Based upon historical and archival research, as well as the author's years of fieldwork in indigenous communities, The Napo Runa of Amazonian Ecuadorpresents theoretical issues of value, poetics, and kinship as linked to the author's intersubjective experiences in Napo Runa culture. Drawing on insights from the theory of gift and value, Uzendoski argues that Napo Runa culture personifies value by transforming things into people through a process of subordinating them to human relationships. While many traditional exchange models treat the production of things as inconsequential, the Napo Runa understand production to involve a relationship with natural beings (plants, animals, and spirits of the forest) that they believe share spiritual substance, or samai. Value is the outcome of a complicated poetics of transformation by which things and persons are woven into kinship forms that define daily social and ritual life.
