Résumé
Curandero: A Life in Mexican Folk Healing. By Eliseo Cheo Torres, with Timothy L. Sawyer, Jr. (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2005. Pp. x + 170, acknowledgments, introduction, photographs, illustration, notes, bibliography, index. $14.95 paper). Eliseo Cheo Torres and Timothy L. Sawyer offer an introduction to the folk healing practice known as curanderismo as it is used by Mexicans in Mexico, South Texas, and other areas of the Southwest. Written in an accessible style, it is enriched with photographs and personal-experience narratives, an academic interweaving of history, anthropology, and folklore-and, on occasion, the unembarrassed use of composite characters (A couple of the personages I have employed in these pages are actually composites of a number of people I knew, or have read about, but they are no less real or true to life, despite this poetic license [4]). The book is meant to establish, document, and preserve links between formal medicine and curanderismo as an alternative healing practice. The authors are academically trained, yet both have direct knowledge of curanderismo. Torres, the principal author, grew up with the practice (see below), and each author has done several internships with curanderos. Throughout, their book provides insight into the historical and present role of curanderos and curanderas in Mexican and Mexican-American culture. Through thirteen chapters, the narrative follows a path of personal discovery, history, and revival. Torres offers a clear-eyed account of his spiritual awakening, describing the events in his life that led him to a realization of the strength of curanderismo while visiting the Northern Mexico home of the folk saint and healer, El Nino Fidencio (1898-1938). He describes in detail several healing rituals he witnessed during that trip, including Camino de Penitencia (walking the Road of Penance) and El Charquito (entering a pool of water containing a special mud that has healing properties). We later learn that Torres had actually grown up in an active folk healing tradition and had been himself a passive bearer of folk-medicine traditions. From an early age he had acquired insider knowledge that later helped him to understand the academic history of folk healing. He recounts how his mother introduced him to the vast knowledge found in their garden's flowers and plants along with a rich ethnography of the house garden, strategies for growing certain herbs in full sunlight, or partial shade or full shade, the medical and culinary qualities found in these plants, especially the cactus plant nopal. Torres also describes folk psychological illnesses and treatment rituals associated with them-bilis (anger), muina (rage), latido (anorexia). He provides a description of the steps involved in curing the mal de ojo (evil eye). In addressing other folk illnesses, he explains the objects, herbs, prayers, and rituals that were used to cure him personally from susto (fright), desasombro (severe fright), and espanto (wandering spirit, separation of spirit from body due to severe psychological trauma). …

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
