Oracles : a novel
\"In this futuristic novel, the wilderness is disappearing due to human incursion and urbanization. Small pockets of nature remain and are used for tourist visits and historical interpretations. Television broadcasts pictures, sounds, and smells, and space travel is commonplace. The Yantuck Indians must find a way to preserve the environment that survives on their eastern United States reservation and yet participate in a global economy. This dilemma creates factions within the tribe: those who believe in a traditional way of life and those who seek to enhance tribal finances by marketing and selling \"Indian-ness. \"Ashneon Quay, a young medicine-woman-in-training, is herself caught between two worlds. Growing up with elderly family members, both medicine people, she attends a local college where she studies anthropology. Quay struggles to find a balance between the traditional and the new and to identify a path that is right for her.\" -- Publisher website.

Pensamiento tecnológico y prácticas chamánicas: Leer José María Arguedas con Sara Castro-Klarén
Sara Castro-Klarén's contribution to the field of the study of the work of José María Arguedas has been key in areas as diverse as biographical, testimonial, and theoretical research. Her literary analyses influenced the interpretation of Arguedas' fiction, insofar as her contributions to the last three decades put his work in dialogue with post- and decolonial criticism, perspectives that question the limits of Western epistemology. For an Arguedian researcher, Professor Castro-Klarén's work has been both a source of historical data and a guide for the direction of research, through what she calls in her classes the formulation of \"compelling questions \" that push the desire of the researchers.

MAGICZNY IRONISTA. O „SZAMAŃSKIEJ CHOROBIE\ JACKA HUGO-BADERA 1
Celem artykułu jest analiza „Szamańskiej choroby\" Jacka Hugo-Badera, rozpatrywanej jako reportażowa realizacja konwencji realizmu magicznego. Problematyzowanie i tematyzowanie wiary (a nie faktów i prowadzącego do ich poznania researchu) nie powoduje zerwania paktu referencjalnego dzięki ironicznej autokreacji podmiotu reporterskiego. Studium przypadku wpisuje się w dyskusje na temat literackiego reportażu, śmiało łączącego dziennikarskość z licentia poetica, oraz postulowanego przez Melchiora Wańkowicza „poszerzenia konwencji\" tego gatunku. Uruchamiane w kontekście literatury faktu kategorie fikcji realistycznej i fikcji fantastycznej uzupełniam o element trzeci: fikcję magiczną, odnosząc się m.in. do współczesnych teorii etnografii performatywnej.

Mama Irene : healer of the Andes
This is a film about Mama Irene, a remarkable 86-year-old woman Shaman (healer) from Peru who draws upon indigenous knowledge and traditions in danger of being lost forever. Yet her craft is based primarily on her own intuition: \"Spirits have told me in my dreams how to proceed.\" The documentary follows Mama Irene in her everyday life, highlighting her healing methods and passion to serve each patient who knocks on her door: from local women who travel hours or days by foot through the Andes, to a medical doctor from India seeking a cure for illness that Western medicine had failed to help. We accompany Mama Irene on ancient spiritual ceremonies such as the Snow Star Festival, where thousands of pilgrims gather in Sinakara Valley high in the Peruvian Andes to honor the local glacier and Lord Quylluritj'i. The film depicts Mama Irene's secret healing practices, never before filmed. Yet this film is not only a vital document of endangered wisdom; it is also a story about woman empowerment.
