Théùtre de guerres : Passions politiques et violences
La guerre du Kosovo en 1999 fut un thĂ©Ăątre de passions politiques qui se croisaient Ă diffĂ©rents niveaux. Ces passions renvoient Ă lâexpĂ©rience collective, prise dans des cadres mouvants et passionnĂ©s comme lâethnie et la nation. Elles renvoient Ă©galement, et tout dâabord, Ă une expĂ©rience individuelle qui peut confiner aux limites du dicible, du mĂ©morable, du transmissible. Enfin, ces expĂ©riences sont investies, dans le contexte dâune gestion de crise et dâune gestion du dĂ©sordre, par les dispositifs techniques et procĂ©duraux dâune action humanitaire qui Ă©volue avec ambivalence entre les pĂŽles de la compassion et de la dĂ©passionalisation bureaucratique, reposant de ce fait la question de la violence dâune nouvelle maniĂšre. Le travail ethnographique, qui est prĂ©sence sur les diffĂ©rentes scĂšnes de la guerre et de lâintervention, mais qui est aussi production de voix et de rĂ©cits, participe lui aussi de ces expĂ©riences et doit y faire face. Comment, dans ce contexte, mettre au point un dispositif interprĂ©tatif qui puisse ĂȘtre rĂ©ellement opĂ©ratoire dans un scĂ©nario de lâextrĂȘme, tout en cherchant Ă se maintenir au-delĂ dâune quelconque institutionnalisation de lâinterprĂ©tation?The Kosovo war of 1999 presented a theatre of political passions that collided with one another on multiple levels. These passions arose out of collective experiences framed by such slippery yet impassioned concepts such as ethnicity and the nation, but these passions were also anchored within individual experience, often at the limits of that which can be spoken, remembered or transmitted. Finally, these experiences are penetrated, within a context of crisis management, by the technical apparatuses and procedures of humanitarian interventions which vacillate between the poles of compassion and dispassionate bureaucratization, thus raising the question of violence in a whole new manner. Ethnographic work, which involves not only presence on the scenes of war and intervention but also the production of voice and narratives, also infiltrates these experiences and must assume responsibility for its role. Under such circumstances, how might it be possible to develop a mode of interpretation that is functional in such extreme scenarios without succumbing to institutionalization or instrumentalization?La guerra de Kosovo, en 1999 fue un teatro de pasiones polĂticas que se cruzaron en diferentes niveles. Esas pasiones remiten a la experiencia colectiva, asida en esos cuadros movedizos y animados por la pasiĂłn que son la etnia y la naciĂłn. Remiten igualmente y antes que nada, a una experiencia individual que se confina en los lĂmites de lo decible, de lo memorable, de lo transmisible. Finalmente, dichas experiencias estĂĄn acreditadas, en el contexto de una gestiĂłn de la crisis y del desorden, por dispositivos tĂ©cnicos y procedimientos de una acciĂłn humanitaria que se transforma con ambivalencia entre los polos de la compasiĂłn y la frialdad burocrĂĄtica, lo que provoca el replanteamiento de la violencia de una nueva manera. El trabajo etnogrĂĄfico, que es una presencia en las diferentes escenas de la guerra y de la intervenciĂłn, pero que es asimismo producciĂłn de voz y de historias, tambiĂ©n participa en dichas experiencias y deber confrontarlas. ÂżCĂłmo, en tal contexto, concebir un dispositivo interpretativo que sea realmente operatorio en un escenario de lo extremo y que al mismo tiempo se mantenga mĂĄs allĂĄ de cualquiera institucionalizaciĂłn de la interpretaciĂłn

Le self, le corps, la « crise de la présence »
Le Self, le corps, la * crise de la prĂ©sence »En Italie, au cours des annĂ©es 1950 et 1960, Ernesto De Martino, philosophe-ethnologue, Ă©laborait une approche idĂ©ologique de l'anthropologie gramscienne et mettait l'accent sur le corps comme lieu de rĂ©sistance des classes subalternes : peut-ĂȘtre doit-il donc ĂȘtre considĂ©rĂ© comme le fondateur de l'ethnopsychiatrie italienne. En repensant aujourd'hui l'anthropologie demartinienne et certaines de ses notions caractĂ©ristiques (le sujet historique, la crise de la prĂ©sence, le rituel de la possession) qui cherchent Ă donner de l'ampleur au rapport entre sujet, folie et culture, et Ă le rendre plus problĂ©matique, nous pouvons comparer ces positions Ă celles des spĂ©cialistes actuels de l'anthropologie psychiatrique nord-amĂ©ricaine. Ainsi, le matĂ©riel recueilli au cours d'une recherche menĂ©e dans le Samnium sur l'identitĂ© fĂ©minine et la souffrance corporelle et psychique est relu Ă la lumiĂšre de ces lignes theoriques.Self, Body and the * Crisis of PrĂ©sence »During the 1950 and 1960 years in Italy, Ernesto De Martino, a philosopher-ethnologist, worked out an ideological approach of the gramscian anthropology, emphasizing the body as the locus of rĂ©sistance of the subaltern classes : he might thus be seen as the founder of the italian ethnopsychiatry. Rethinking today the demartinian anthropology, as well as some of its most characteristic notions (the historical subject, the prĂ©sence crisis, the possession ri tuai) which attempt to widen and deepen the relation between subject, madness and culture, allows us to put into perspective thĂšse positions and those of the current north american anthropological psychiatry. Thus, the materials collected during a research made in the Sannio area on the female identity and corporal and psychological suffering are revisited in the light of thĂšse theoretical guidelines

Inflammation and autoimmunity in patients anti-neutrophil nuclear antibodies positive
Two patients, female, with overlap syndrome AIH/PSC and pANNA positive, was placed at two extremities of the bimodal curve that characterised the AIH I° behaviour.Therefore they show difference of age (V.L. 76 years and E.G. 8 years) and different prognosis and therapy answer: the disease of the young patient has an aggressive outcome and fails the treatment more commonly.The more important theory to explain this different features was the âmolecular footprint hypothesisâ that considers decisive the type of HLA II°. The two patients considered have the same HLADR3. The serological analysis and the recent pathogenically orientations show that the local motives regulate the features of disease: in the child the inflammatory component prevails and maintains a chronic granulomatous aggression, whereas in the old patient the non specific autoimmune IgG prevails and drives a fibrosis evolution and immunosuppressive therapy response.The common positive pANNA can be expression of common chronic auto-inflammatory granulomatous origin
To Be Re-Bitten and to Re-Become: examining repeated embodied acts in ritual performance
Image courtesy of Wellcome Trust: http://catalogue.wellcomelibrary.org/record=b1465534This article will examine the use of repetition through two ritual performance contexts: the rimorso repetition of the ritual of tarantism in Salento, Southern Italy, and the deity yoga practice incorporating mudras, mantras and mandalas found in the Vajrayana tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. The two contexts will offer differing approaches to the practice and experience of repetition, whilst also demonstrating how repeating a movement, sound and image can be used to develop a greater bodymind connection that reinforces a sense of identity, belonging and devotion through the act of repeating. The use of repetition in these two ritual performance contexts will be explored through aspects of Buddhist philosophy, in particular how that repetition can create an altering effect on the âselfâ of the practitioner through an understanding of the ways in which that âselfâ is constructed. This will involve examining notions such as anatta (non-self) and the skhandas to show how the practice of repetition is a means to create a transformation of the âselfâ through the action of repeating. This offers the potential for applying this understanding to actors, both at a somatic level of personal development, and also as a means for âbe-comingâ a character through repeated actions that can alter the bodymind to align to that of the character. This all examines a paradox inherent in repetition in ritual performance: that it is through the action of repeating the same thing that leads to a process of transformation in the bodymind
