Description:

Nowadays Amerindian cosmologies have become one of the most important loci of debate in the anthropology of religion. Nevertheless, ethnographic comparisons between South America highlands and lowlands, as far as religious ritual and practices are concerned, are still lacking. The main purpose of this workshop is to explore the comparative possibilities between these regions. It is difficult to overestimate the necessity to analyze the contrasts and continuities between indigenous cosmologies and practices of South American highlands and lowlands. It is important to point out that we link this need of systematic comparisons with a solid use of an ethnographic approach.

This workshop will bring together researchers from different European institutions who are working on indigenous religions and rituals in the Amazonia and in the Andes. Papers from anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, folklore studies, ethnomusicology, and the history of religion are welcome.
