摘要

文章认为,“神秘主义”可以有效地应用于南部非洲的一些宗教潮流。以博茨瓦纳为重点,我们调查了一系列实践,从传统的“萨满”治疗到五旬节NRM 是指新时代的通灵论和新萨满教,其中一些是第一次出现在这里。密教一词有助于分析南部非洲的宗教状况,原因有三。首先,通过对密教作为基于启蒙的知识系统的类型学理解,我们将景观的一部分(通常称为“萨满教”)定义为构成“本土密教”的一种形式。其次,通过欧洲的殖民扩张,这种本土密教面临着一场暴力的拒绝运动,这场运动与欧洲“被拒绝的知识”的构建类似。虽然这迫使许多做法转入地下,但它们在南部非洲基督教中重新出现。第三,“西方”神秘潮流最近被输入到南部非洲,并与“土著”形式进行对话。

Esotericism in Botswana
The article argues that “esotericism” can usefully be applied to a number of religious currents in Southern Africa. With a focus on Botswana, we survey a range of practices, from traditional “shamanic” healing to Pentecostal NRM s to New Age spiritualities and neoshamanism, some presented here for the first time. The term esotericism is useful for analysing the religious situation in Southern African contexts for three reasons. First, through a typological understanding of esotericism as initiation-based knowledge systems, we define one part of the landscape (usually termed “shamanism”) as constituting a form of “indigenous esotericism”. Second, through the European colonial expansion, this indigenous esotericism faced a violent rejection campaign that parallels the construction of “rejected knowledge” in Europe. While this forced many practices underground, they have resurfaced within Southern African Christianity. Third, “western” esoteric currents have recently been imported to Southern Africa and enter into dialogues with the “indigenous” forms.
