This course surveys the contemporary religions and healing practices of
Native South Americans through the ethnographies of a variety of South
American groups. We will explore Native South American concepts of
time, space, power, order, destruction and renewal and their
manifestations in birth, initiation, healing and death rituals. The
purpose of the course is to understand different worldviews and
practices that will help us re-think our way or conceiving the world
and our role in it.
