  • The Globalization of Ayahuasca Shamanism and the Erasure of Indigenous Shamanism Evgenia Fotiou Kent State University, [email protected] Abstract
    The Globalization of Ayahuasca Shamanism and the Erasure of Indigenous Shamanism evgenia fotiou Kent State University, [email protected] abstract Ayahuasca is a hallucinogenic plant mixture used in a ceremonial context throughout western Amazonia, and its use has expanded globally in recent decades. As part of this expansion, ayahuasca has become popular among westerners who travel to the Peruvian Amazon in increasing numbers to experience its reportedly healing and transformative effects. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork in and around the area of Iquitos, Peru, the epicenter of ayahuasca tourism, this paper focuses on some of the problematic aspects of western engagement with indigenous spiritual traditions. This engagement is usually based on idealized and romanticized notions of indigenous shamanism and an inability to digest its less palatable aspects, such as sorcery. Through ethnographic examples and ethnohistorical evidence, I show that the romanticization indigenous peoples is not benign. In fact, this one-sided romantic image hides the complexity of indigenous peoples’ situations by erasing the injustices that they have experienced and continue to experience. I propose a more holistic approach to ayahuasca shamanism that views indigenous peoples not living in a fictitious harmony with nature but as people embedded in larger struggles and facing important challenges not the least of which is the recent commercialization of indigenous spirituality. keywords: Ayahuasca, Shamanism, cultural appropriation, Amazonia, indigenous peoples Shamanism is crucially a made-up, modern, western category, an artful reification of disparate practices, snatches of folklore and overarching folklorizations, residues of long-established myths intermingled with the Anthropology of Consciousness, Vol. 27, Issue 2, pp.

  • Elation Lights for Santana's “Supernatural Now” U.S. Tour
    03-Sept-2019 Elation Lights for Santana’s “Supernatural Now” U.S. Tour One of the summer’s more successful U.S. tours has been Carlos Santana’s “Supernatural Now” outing with opening band The Doobie Brothers, two acts with roots that stretch back decades that can still pack a house. Equally experienced is LD Michael Ledesma, who has designed the lighting for the tour and is out on the road operating the show. The “Supernatural Now” tour kicked off in June and celebrates two important anniversaries in the band’s history: the 20th anniversary of their blockbuster “Supernatural” album and the 50th anniversary of Santana’s legendary performance at the 1969 Woodstock music festival. Naturally, iconic tunes associated with both occasions fill the show with select songs from the artist’s 2019 “Africa Speaks” album also on the set-list. Ledesma has worked with Santana for years and uses Elation Protron Eclypse™ hybrid LED luminaires and SEVEN Batten 14™ LED strip lights, together with a full moving head rig and backdrop LED screen, to complement the artist’s trademark guitar riffs and crowd-pleasing hits. Both luminaires give Ledesma plenty of possibilities to lay down his signature vivid colors and layers. “The Protron Eclypse units definitely stick out,” states the designer, who has 14 upstage units lining vertical LED strips for wash onto the band and strobe effects with another 10 on a midstage half- circle truss washing the audience. “We use them for different types of chases, split the cells up, and generally use them for a lot of effects.

  • Reading White Trash in Supernatural
    NOBODY'S DARLINGS: READING WHITE TRASH IN SUPERNATURAL Aaron C. Burnell A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2011 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Chair Esther A. Clinton, Advisor Robert Sloane, Advisor ii © 2010 Aaron C. Burnell All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor Hunting things and saving people. This is the plot and purpose of Eric Kripke's ongoing CW series Supernatural on the most surface level. Despite the overt fantasy which frames the series, it is better defined as a drama which explores the depths of not only family but also class. Fans and critics both have discussed the ways in which Kripke has constructed family and masculinity. Oddly, though, discussions of class have been surprisingly sparse in both critical and fan circles. Likewise, there is only a small pool of literature that focuses on the theoretical and lived experience of white trash. White trash, of course, is in and of itself a term that is hotly debated. What does it mean? Who does it include? Is it even real? Who is included within the umbrella of white trash? Who decides who fits within this rubric? Through out this project, these two discourses will be joined together in order to broaden the scope of conversations within both spheres. Chapters including the genealogy of white trash, the aesthetics and commodification of white trash, and the construction of a specifically homosocial white trash family use Supernatural as a case study for the ways in which contemporary meditated American culture views or, more aptly, does not view class.
