“…Shamanic tourism has no doubt forever changed the landscape in locales like Iquitos in Peru, Huautla in Mexico, and Tuva in Siberia. It will most likely also transform the areas of Gabon where Iboga tourism is practiced (Chabloz 2009). 7 If anything has emerged from the scholarship on shamanic tourism in the last twenty‐five years, it is the contradictions embedded within it.…”

This article examines the phenomenon of shamanic tourism, which began in Amazonia in the 1980s. The author has researched the phenomenon since the early 2000swhile it was still at its infancy-in Iquitos, Peru, which is today considered the mecca of shamanic tourism. Contemporary Amazonian shamanism emerged as a response to the violent and disruptive process of the rubber boom; however, in the context of tourism, it is viewed as the healing force for bodily and mental ailments that stem from what is perceived as the West's spiritual impoverishment. The article reviews the phenomenon of shamanic tourism and the challenges it presents in the 21st century, situating it within larger scholarly conversations on ethnic tourism and cultural appropriation. Finally, potential avenues for future research are presented. [Amazonia, ayahuasca, shamanic tourism, shamanism] R e s u m e n Este artículo examina el fenómeno del turismo chamánico, que comenzó en la Amazonía en la década de 1980. He investigado el fenómeno desde principios de la década de 2000-cuando todavía estaba en su infancia-en Iquitos, Perú, hoy considerado la meca del turismo chamánico. Aunque el chamanismo amazónico contemporáneo surgió como una respuesta al proceso violento y disruptivo del auge del caucho, en el contexto del turismo, es visto como la fuerza curativa para las dolencias corporales y mentales que se derivan de lo que se percibe como el empobrecimiento espiritual del Occidente. El artículo revisa el fenómeno del turismo chamánico y los desafíos que presenta en el siglo XXI situándolo dentro de conversaciones académicas sobre turismo

“…A Celtic neo-shamanism is thus invented (Vazeilles, 2008), alongside neo-Druidism and neo-paganism, offering consumers a new vision of the world. Everyone is invited to rediscover the premodern in themselves – what Chabloz (2009: 410) calls the “inner primitive” – everyone is said to be able to learn to “shamanize” (Vazeilles, 2008) – (see Table 9).…”

Variety and variation in lived worlds: Defining and exploring a new marketing research agenda based on an ethnography of complementary and alternative medicine consumption

The ontological turn in anthropology renews the questioning of otherness by being attentive to the diversity of conceptions of the world and phenomenological relations to the world. Descola’s model has become an essential part of this theoretical movement. It distinguishes three ontologies other than the one currently dominant in the West. While he admits the possibility of their expression in the ordinary lives of Westerners, it is only in a fleeting mode. Drawing on the model of cognitive polyphasia, extended here to ontologies, and using alternative and complementary medicine as its ethnographic terrain, this research shows that these other ontologies can profoundly organize experiences. Consumers can inhabit worlds other than the dominant one. They may inhabit several worlds (e.g. animist and naturalist) hybridizing them or not. They may draw highly variable boundaries between humans and nonhumans (both interpersonal and intrapersonal). Various theoretical and operational implications for marketing are outlined.

“…Un néo-chamanisme celtique est ainsi inventé (Vazeilles, 2008), en parallèle à un néo-druidisme, un néo-paganisme, qui offrent aux consommateurs une nouvelle vision du monde. Chacun est invité à retrouver le pré-moderne en soi – ce que Chabloz (2009 : 410) appelle le « primitif intérieur » – chacun est dit pouvoir apprendre à « chamaniser » (Vazeilles, 2008) – (cf tableau 9).…”

Résumé Le tournant ontologique en anthropologie renouvelle le questionnement de l’altérité, en étant attentif à la diversité des conceptions du monde et des relations phénoménologiques au monde. Le modèle de Descola s’est imposé dans ce mouvement théorique. Il distingue trois ontologies autres que celle actuellement dominante en Occident. S’il admet la possibilité de leur expression dans les vécus ordinaires des Occidentaux, ce n’est cependant que sur un mode fugace. En s’appuyant sur le modèle de la polyphasie cognitive, étendue ici aux ontologies, et en retenant les médecines alternatives et complémentaires comme terrain ethnographique, cette recherche montre que ces ontologies autres peuvent organiser profondément des vécus. Des consommateurs peuvent habiter d’autres mondes que celui dominant. Ils peuvent habiter plusieurs mondes (e.g., animiste et naturaliste), en les hybridant ou non. Ils peuvent tracer entre humains et non-humains des frontières très variables (tant au plan interpersonnel qu’au plan intrapersonnel). Diverses implications théoriques et opérationnelles pour le marketing sont exposées.
