Abstract

Abstract This article describes the associations and controversies between indigenous and western uses of ayahuasca between 1850 and 1950 in relation to the “psychedelic renaissance.” This movement has gained scientific attention since 2000, but hearkens back to the 1960s and 1970s, when anti-drug policy halted research on the “therapeutic potential” of psychoactive substances. Pioneering studies on ayahuasca date back to the early twentieth century and mention reports of expeditions to Amazonia from 1850 onward. Here, these articles and reports are analyzed according to the historical aspect of actor-network theory and recent studies. We infer that history casts light on the current political debate about indigenous uses, classifications, and meanings, pharmaceutical interest in ayahuasca, and the debate on “drugs.”
探索者和旅行者的报告和对死藤水的第一次科学研究(1850年至1950年)在当前关于“迷幻剂复兴”的辩论中。
摘要:本文描述了1850年至1950年间与“迷幻文艺复兴”相关的土著和西方死藤水使用之间的联系和争议。自2000年以来,这一运动得到了科学界的关注,但让人想起了20世纪60年代和70年代,当时禁毒政策停止了对精神活性物质“治疗潜力”的研究。对死藤水的开创性研究可以追溯到20世纪初,并提到了1850年以后对亚马逊河流域的探险报告。本文从行动者网络理论的历史沿沿性和最新研究成果两个方面对这些文章和报道进行分析。我们推断,历史揭示了当前关于土著使用、分类和意义的政治辩论,对死藤水的制药兴趣,以及关于“毒品”的辩论。
