ENCOUNTER WITH BERNARD SALADIN D'ANGLURE, SPECIALIST IN THE INUIT OF THE CANADIAN ARCTIC, AND FRANÇOISE MORIN, SPECIALIST IN THE SHIPIBO-KONIBO PEOPLE OF THE PERUVIAN AMAZON
Friday 27 April 2012 at 6.30 pm
From foetus to shaman, the construction of relationships with the invisible world and its effects on the social relationships between humans
On the basis of two initial parallel professional paths as young researchers, one in the Laboratoire d'Anthropologie sociale de Claude Lévi-Strauss, the other in the Centre de recherche en psychiatrie sociale de Roger Bastide, these two anthropologists have decided to unite their approaches and to develop, with the help of the Université Laval (Canada), joint ethnographic research projects in their respective terrains, as well as in north east Siberia, a major historical centre for shamanism. This multisite ethnographic approach employing the same methodology has enabled them to recognise several universals.
Bernard Saladin d'Anglure. Research Associate at CNRS, he directed the Anthropology department at Université Laval, and has taught for thirty years at this university, where he has become emeritus professor. Awarded the Prix de la recherche scientifique sur le Nord (Canada), he launched in Quebec, with colleagues, the Inuit and Circumpolar Studies Group, which has since become the Interuniversity Centre for Aboriginal Studies and Research. Also in Quebec, he established the international journal of Inuit studies, <span>Études Inuit Studies</span>, together with the biennial international Inuit Studies Conference, the 18th edition of which will take place in October 2012 at the Smithsonian Institution (Washington). He is an associate member of the DIALOG network (INRS, Montreal).
Françoise Morin has occupied posts as associate professor in ethnology at Université Toulouse-le-Mirail, and as professor in ethnology at Université Lyon 2, where she is currently emeritus professor. Since 1990, she has also been associate professor in the Department of Anthropology at Université Laval (Quebec). She is vice president of the Groupe international de Travail pour les Peuples Autochtones, which she contributed to creating, and an associate researcher within the DIALOG network (INRS, Montreal) dedicated to aboriginal issues, and at the Université Laval Interuniversity Centre for Aboriginal Studies and Research.

ENCOUNTER WITH BERTRAND HELL, ANTHROPOLOGIST AND EDOUARD COLLOT, PSYCHIATRIST-PSYCHOTHERAPIST
Friday 18.05.12 at 6.30 pm
Staging the illness to cure it: considerations on shamanic healing, therapeutic performances, psychotherapies and creation as a therapeutic procedure
Born in 1953, Bertrand Hell is a French anthropologist specialising in shamanism and possession. He is Professor of Ethnology at the University of Franche-Comté and a research fellow of the Centre d'Etudes Interdisciplinaires des Faits Religieux at the EHESS.
His research is positioned at the crossroads between religious anthropology and the anthropology of disease, and deals with the symbolic effectiveness of cults and rituals linked to spirits. He is renowned for his long-term research in Morocco (in particular with the Gnawa brotherhood) and in Mayotte. Wishing to work within an anthropological perspective, he has also carried out fieldwork in Brazil, Marrakech, Mongolia, Haiti and, more recently, with the Navajo people. In particular, he is the author of Possession et chamanisme. Les maîtres du désordre (Possession and shamanism. The Masters of Chaos) (Paris, Flammarion, 1999), Le Tourbillon des génies. Au Maroc avec les Gnawa (The Whirlwind of the Genies. In Morocco with the Gnawa) (Paris, Flammarion, 2002), and of Soigner les Âmes. L’Invisible dans la médecine et dans la cure chamanique (Soul Healing. The Invisible in Medicine and in Shamanic Healing), (with Collot, E., Paris, Dunod, 2011).
Édouard Collot is a psychiatrist in Paris, manager of the Hypnotherapy Unit of the Institut Paul Sivadon (Association l'Elan Retrouvé), president of the GEAMH (Group for the Study and Medical Applications of Hypnosis) and medical officer at the IFH (French Hypnosis Institute).

ENCOUNTER WITH SAM BEGAY, NAVAJO MEDICINE MAN AND AILEEN BEGAY, DIAGNOSTICIAN
Friday 25.05.12 at 6.30 pm
Order and chaos in Navajo thought
An encounter hosted by Marie-Claud Stigler, specialist in the Indian nations of North America.
Sam Begay is a Navajo medicine man who lives at the heart of the Reservation, at Fort Defiance. This 75 year old, member of the Big Water clan is a founder member of the Medicine Man Association and is still much sought-after to carry out healing rituals. He specialises in the Way of the Enemy. This ritual enables warriors returning from battle to rediscover balance and harmony. It underwent a significant renewal during the Vietnam war, and is often practised for Navajo returning from Iraq. Sam Begay also practises the Way of the Night, a ceremony that lasts 9 days and 9 nights to remedy evils inflicted by Sacred Beings (paralysis, deafness, blindness). It re-establishes favourable conditions for balance and health. Finally, he is a Sage who is listened to and respected in his community.
His wife, Aileen Begay, belongs to the Black Sheep clan. She is a diagnostician, determining the origin of disorder by means of hand trembling.
Marie-Claude Feltes-Strigler is honorary associate professor at Université de Paris 3 – Sorbonne nouvelle. Following numerous visits to the Navajo Reservation, she has published several works on the Navajo, but also on other Amerindian tribes. As an expert, she participates in the work of the GITPA (Groupe international de Travail pour les Peuples Autochtones).
