Overview
This article presents an ethnographic study of the use of talismanic practices in the management of emotions in contemporary Northern Ethiopia. Here, the socially reprehensible emotions of jealousy and lust are contextualized within the Christian Orthodox system. I argue that such a study must lead to an exploration of how the materialization of the immaterial through the talisman is fundamentally problematic within the Orthodox context. Emotions are deemed reprehensible because of their close relationship to the body and the material. They signal an excess, an inability to contain, a loss of control over the schism that must divide mind and body. I ask the question: to what extent does the talisman function as a \"sub-system,\" managing emotions through witchcraft in parallel to the more normative systems within the Orthodox context?
Cet article repose sur une étude ethnographique menée dans le nord de l'Éthiopie contemporaine. L'étude porte sur l'utilisation de pratiques talismaniques dans la gestion d'affects, comme par exemple la jalousie, la haine ou le désir, que le système religieux en place, celui de l'Église éthiopienne orthodoxe Tewahedo, juge socialement repréhensibles. Ils sont en effet, à ses yeux, trop liés au corps et à la sphère matérielle, signifiant un excès, une perte de contrôle de l'esprit sur le corps, détournant du divin et de l'immatériel. Matérialisation de l'immatériel, le talisman, créé à la demande d'un client et sous le sceau du secret par des praticiens qui se situent aux marges de l'Église, offre une issue à l'expression de tels affects. On peut alors se demander si, dans la gestion de ces derniers, les pratiques talismaniques ne constituent pas un « sous-système », fonctionnant, de manière occulte et par la sorcellerie, parallèlement au système officiel et normatif de l'Église.
