  • The Birth of the Word Language, Force, and Mapuche Ritual Authority
    2012 | HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory 2 (1): 1–26 The birth of the word Language, force, and Mapuche ritual authority Magnus COURSE, University of Edinburgh This paper seeks to employ rural Mapuche ideas about language to cast new light on the nature of agency and authority in lowland South America and elsewhere. Through ethnographic analysis, I demonstrate the need to account for the roles of priest, chief, and shaman—all present in the Mapuche ngillatun fertility ritual—from the perspective of their differential modes of relating through language. For language, as understood by rural Mapuche, emerges not solely from the intentions of individual speakers, but equally from the force—newen—constitutive of all being. Priests, chiefs, and shamans all seek to align themselves through speech to this force which instantiates itself through them. Such an observation forms the basis of a critique of both Clastres’ understanding of the relationship between chiefs and language, and of the recent post-humanist rejection of the so-called “linguistic turn.” Keywords: language, ritual, authority, Mapuche, Amerindian Language speaks, not Man Martin Heidegger Why does careless speech run the risk of “tempting fate”? What is it about voicing an utterance, which makes that utterance flee from us, irrevocably lost? Why should the mention of tenuous hopes or fears lead us to seek reassurance through “touching wood”? These minor practices of everyday caution, so minor as to be barely perceptible to consciousness, suggest an implicit recognition of what could be called an “excess force” of language, of our control of language being somewhat less complete than is often assumed to be the case.

  • (Dr. Cuevas) REL1300-01: Introduction to World Religions
    HUM 2937-02 (Honors): Magic & The Supernatural in the Asian World (Dr. Cuevas) This seminar offers a comparative study of the forms and functions of magic, supernatural beliefs, and associated rituals in various societies across Asia, including especially India, Tibet, China, and Japan. Emphasis will be on understanding such beliefs and practices within specific Asian social and historical contexts and broad comparisons with Western conceptions to derive critical insights into the significance of religious beliefs and practices in human life. In addition, sustained focus will be on the wide variety of academic approaches to magic as a cross-cultural category and the problematic distinction between the categories "magic" and "religion." Key questions addressed throughout the course include the following: What is magic? What does magic mean? What does magic do? Is magic distinct from religion? Is magic natural or supernatural? Why do people believe in magic? What is the role of magic in society? The course will run on a seminar format with active and in-depth discussion of readings and intensive individual writing assignments. REL1300-01: Introduction to World Religions (Mark Canter) “Introduction to World Religions” surveys the major religious traditions of the world, with attention to their origins, principle beliefs and practices. The course will have achieved its purpose if you complete the semester with a working knowledge of the world’s main religions, and an appreciation for the pluralistic spiritual views of humanity.

  • Indonesian Schools: Shaping the Future of Islam and Democracy in a Democratic Muslim Country
    Journal of International Education and Leadership Volume 5 Issue 1 Spring 2015 http://www.jielusa.org/ ISSN: 2161-7252 Indonesian Schools: Shaping the Future of Islam and Democracy in a Democratic Muslim Country Kathleen E. Woodward University of North Georgia This paper examines the role of schools in slowly Islamizing Indonesian society and politics. Why is this Islamization happening and what does it portend for the future of democracy in Indonesia? The research is mostly qualitative and done through field experience, interviews, and data collection. It is concluded that radical madrasahs are not the main generators of Islamization, but instead the widespread prevalence of moderate Islamic schools are Islamizing Indonesian society and politics. The government began the “mainstreaming” of Islamic elementary and secondary schools, most of which are private, in 1975. This has continued and grown, making them popular options for education today.
