Do Animists become Naturalists when Converting to Christianity? Discussing an Ontological Turn

Awake, you have no dreams. Restless thoughts, silent screams. Pain, deep in your soul. Like Sunday tears, you lose control. Time won't wait for you to feel, reveals your wounds, Achilles' heel. Love, the weakest link, your mind denies, your heart sings. 
There's no delight in being alive. There's no escape, the womb won't break. 
Awake, your life begins. A beam of light right through your needs. Pain, a memory, fulfilled with joy, high energy. Time, will freeze when you fall for someone you didn't know at all. Love, your strongest suit, become so whole and absolute. You see delight in being alive. There's no despair, life seems fair.

Who Is Afraid of the Ontological Wolf by Eduardo Viveiro de Castro at Cambridge university

This week, Latin Pulse studies the culture of indigenous religions as the program dives into the history of the Day of the Dead. The program takes a look at the impact of colonialism on this holiday, and how those changes continue to impact Latin America today. However, the day continues to be a celebration of humanity's relationship with death and the environment. Then, in the second half of the show, the program analyzes Mayan spirituality and its central role in Mayan culture. The news segment of the program follows the evolving situation with a group of missing university students in Mexico.


The program includes in-depth interviews with:


Roberto Barrios of Southern Illinois University - Carbondale;
David Freidel of Washington University.


Executive Producer: Rick Rockwell;

Religious Culture: Day of the Dead & Mayan Spirituality (Lp10312014)

Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2012

Dr Ludovic Coupaye, UCL Anthropology

The Abelam people of Papua New Guinea are known for their elaborate initiation ceremonies. While these are no longer performed, the Abelam nevertheless continue to cultivate, decorate and display massive yam tubers, reaching up to 10 feet in length. Globalisation has deeply transformed local customs, yet this phenomenon, mixing agricultural techniques, rituals and magic, has maintained its relevance. This lecture will outline how non-western representations of society can, surprisingly, take the shape of very long yams.
