The more accessible archaeological sites of the ancient Maya have become cultural attractions for international mass tourism. Their development is a function of occupational and economic factors that construct an unrepresentative image of Maya civilization as a modem cultural production. While this image is part of the official heritage of modern nation states, the interaction of mass tourism and cultural resource management is creating a supranational structural framework conducive to the development of Maya ethnonationalism.

Cet article est une exploration des effets de connaissance résultant de l’approche exotique en anthropologie. L’objet d’étude est la monogamie occidentale telle qu’elle peut être vue du dehors, et plus particulièrement la forme qu’elle a récemment prise en France. La monogamie est d’abord analysée du point de vue d’un intellectuel africain qui en critique les effets pervers pour mieux souligner l’importance de conserver en Afrique l’institution de la polygamie. L’étude reprend ensuite la conception anglo-saxonne du mariage pour montrer qu’en France, terre officiellement monogame, l’union libre autorise en fait les citoyens à entrer dans des relations matrimoniales polygynes et polyandres vraies. On constate enfin qu’une analyse fondée sur la théorie française de l’alliance aurait conduit à des résultats opposés.

Over the past fifteen years there has been increasing interest in the nature and application of Traditional Environmental Knowledge (TEK) in Canada. This lias coincided with the settlement of land claims, the emergence of comanagement regimes, and the ascendancy of First Nation power and influence in formal decision making processes. Discourses on actual and potential applications of TEK in land and resource management are the focus of this paper. TEK is the outcome of complex interactions between a culture and the natural environment. Although there are different cosmologies and adaptations, common themes emerge in the way knowledge is acquired and communicated. There is also a great deal of value in its application. However, a number of issues remain to be resolved such as the compatibility between Western scientific knowledge and TEK, and the acquisition and application of TEK by "outsiders." As knowledge is taken from its immediate context it is "abstracted" to conform with the needs of the user and to the scale at which it is being applied. Two subsequent issues emerge. First, TEK is transformed as it is removed from its original context, and second, it may be co-opted in the name of resource and land management decisions that do not necessarily serve First Nations’ interests.

While our current world — post-colonial, late-capitalist, translocal — might seem uniquely plagued by eroding frontiers and virtual realities, it is still peopled by beings who try to build shelters on what they take as relatively firm cultural ground. This paper explores one African instance of how people live at the juncture of global currents, how they deal with the "beat" of heteroglossia. I focus on the changing figure of the "post-colonial" witch — the witch who trades in commodities and travels by taxi — and I explore his/her characteristic obsessions. How do such figures bespeak late twentieth-century conditions? Why are they increasingly preoccupied with the bodies of the young? Does this bear any relation to what underlies the rising terror, in many Western contexts, of the physical vulnerability of children?

Je montrerai dans cette communication comment la nouvelle ethnographie réalisée par des équipes hollandaises et italo-malienne dans le haut-pays dogon a conduit à mettre en doute la fiabilité des travaux classiques de l’équipe de Griaule. Il s’agira de comprendre ce qui peut expliquer les écarts entre l’ethnographie de Griaule, Leiris, Dieterlen et Calame-Griaule d’une part et celle de Walter van Beek, Piero Coopo et L. Pisani d’autre part. Je me demanderai aussi pourquoi les voix du dedans, particulièrement celles des romanciers, tendent à construire l’ethnographie dogon en prenant une grande distance par rapport à la littérature ethnologique d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. J’examinerai les ouvrages de fiction de Yambo Ouologuem et de Hampaté Ba, en me demandant si ces ouvrages ne rendent pas mieux compte de la société dogon que ne le font les ethnologues eux-mêmes.
