Krátký popis
Publikace: Knowledge and Practice in Mayotte : Local Discourses of
Islam, Sorcery and Spirit Possession - Lambek Michael. On the East
African island of Mayotte, Islam co-exists with two other systems
of understanding and interpreting the world around its inhabitants:
cosmology and spirit-mediumship. In a witty, evocative style
accessible to both the specialist and non-specialist reader,
Michael Lambek provides a significant contribution to writing on
African systems of thought, on local forms of religious and
therapeutic practice, on social accountability, and on the place of
explicit forms of knowledge in the analysis of non-western
societies. The "objectified" textual knowledge characteristic of
Islam and of cosmology is contrasted with the "embodied" knowledge
of spirit possession. Lambek emphasizes the power and authority
constituted by each discipline, as well as the challenge that each
kind of knowledge presents to the others and their resolution in
daily practice. "Disciplines" are defined as an organized body of
practitioners or adepts, a concept precise and useful when applied
to the contexts of Lambek's own research and equally so in the
study of comparable environments elsewhere. Essential reading for
those interested in the comparative study of Islamic societies,
Lambek's argument directly contributes to the main anthropological
arguments of the day concerning the social and cultural basis of
systems of knowledge and ethnographic strategies for depicting them
