In mythology, the texts of bimo religious specialists are associated with the sounds of drunkenness and a form of asceticism. For the voicing of these versified writings in rituals, which are perceived not as written words but as graphic chants linked to the body substances of the officiants, it supposes a change of state pertaining to ecstasy and trance perceptible only by the spirits. In order to discuss Roberte Hamayon’s works, the question of feeling and the idea of the shaman as a “seized-being” in the sense of Erwin Straus is introduced with references to movement and music, notably through Anne Boissière. Finally, the article proposes to perceive chanting (graphic or verbal) and movement (internalized as well as externalized) as fundamental modes of shamanic interaction from which an opening to the world is created, and a connection is made between different entities located in the acoustic and metaphysical space elaborated by the shaman who animates it through the trepidations of his body.","PeriodicalId":165655,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers d'Extrême-Asie","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126925871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, one of these questions, originating in the famous words of Zhuangzi who wondered about the celestial “azure,” was able to override this elitist tendency: that of the color of the heavens. The question further deepens as we discover a two-colored sky, tinted in black, but also in blue. The former, which cannot be questioned because of its status of cosmological legitimacy according to the orthodox frame, will conversely push various Taoist, Confucian, and Buddhist theories, but also, in the spirit of the times, Jesuit and Dutch theories, to explain the origin of the latter. The way Japanese scholars solved the question of the color of the sky during the Tokugawa period leads us to a better understanding of the classical chromatic perception of these phenomena on the eve of the modernization of the Meiji period (1868–1912).","PeriodicalId":165655,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers d'Extrême-Asie","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115087465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En utilisant ces archives, combinées avec les monographies locales, les généalogies, les anthologies et d’autres documents traditionnels, les historiens peuvent faire des recherches sur la société jusqu’au niveau de la base, approfondir notre compréhension de la vie des gens ordinaires et explorer davantage le fonctionnement réel de l’économie de marché, du système judiciaire et des relations ethniques. L’étude de cas présentée dans cet article porte sur le canton de Banqiao 板橋鄉 de l’ethnie des She 畲, situé au nord-est du district de Songyang. Le canton de Banqiao était principalement engagé dans l’exploitation minière et la métallurgie sous la dynastie des Ming et formait ainsi une société lignagère stable. Avec l’épuisement de ces ressources sous la dynastie des Qing, la région a connu une transition économique vers des cultures commerciales. Ce changement spectaculaire a stimulé l’arrivée d’immigrants, qui s’est accompagnée d’une concurrence féroce pour les ressources. L’ethnie des She qui est arrivée dans la région pendant la phase la plus récente de cette immigration s’est trouvée isolée, manquant de terres et portant l’étiquette « she », ce qui signifie « flotter et cultiver dans les montagnes ».","PeriodicalId":165655,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers d'Extrême-Asie","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131133888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Celles-ci s’identifient en tant que communautés cultuelles localisées, prenant appui sur leurs temples, dédiés à des divinités protectrices variées relevant du panthéon de la religion populaire chinoise, telle qu’elle s’est développée à Taiwan. La performance du rituel processionnel scelle et reproduit une alliance intercommunautaire fondée sur l’institution koah-hiun 刈香, qui donne son nom à la procession. Ce texte montre l’importance du rituel pour légitimer l’ancrage résidentiel, maîtriser le danger représenté sous la forme anthropomorphisée d’âmes errantes (celles d’humains morts de malemort), garantir la régulation de l’eau et régénérer le pouvoir nourricier de la terre, dans un contexte agricole et au sein d’un ordre naturel plus large. À double visée, apotropaïque et propitiatoire, faisant face à l’aléatoire en travaillant simultanément sur la chance et la malchance, le rituel vise à reconduire la Vie et assurer paix, santé, prospérité à tous. L’exercice d’une fonction chamanique, telle que mise en avant par Roberte Hamayon, est la piste qui s’est révélée être la plus fructueuse pour répondre au double objectif de compréhension générale et de caractérisation du système socioreligieux déployé dans ce rituel régulier et de portée totalisante.","PeriodicalId":165655,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers d'Extrême-Asie","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122086752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Particular attention is paid to research carried out within the framework of the quantitative approach of economic history, but other disciplinary fields which have contributions to make, such as demography and environmental studies, are also discussed. This historiographical survey ends by highlighting the empirical conundrum facing research in this field : solid empirical foundations have already been built, and many impressive intellectual frameworks of analysis proposed, but more evidence is needed in order to be able to better understand the internal dynamics of the economies under consideration.
