Description
Las diferentes contribuciones que forman parte de este libro ofrecen ejemplos históricos y etnográficos, relatos y narraciones en donde los sentidos aprehenden el mundo y su estructura social “a su manera”, mediante palabras, textos, músicas, comidas, sueños, relatos, enfermedades, terapias, alucinógenos, transformismo animal, películas de cine o movimientos religiosos de supuesta ancestral tradición. Cuesta focalizar la brujería y sus matices de una forma contundente, rotunda e incontestable. La variabilidad de sus expresiones resulta etnográficamente provocativa, máxime —como sucede en el caso de las etnografías amerindias— cuando no constituyen manifestaciones fosilizadas de añejos tiempos sólo recuperables mediante la consulta de archivo, sino que es posible todavía descubrir su potencia activa y sugerente provocación intelectual en las conversaciones de campo con los informantes, quienes hablan siempre de “sucedidos” y hechos que la tradición oral convierte, en no pocos casos, en prueba de verificación. En este sentido, entendemos que historia y etnografía resultan claves metodológicas muy adecuadas por la mirada comparativa que posibilitan, así como por la observación de casos procedentes de ambas orillas del Atlántico y de diferentes enclaves culturales.
