Voir les yeux fermés présente des œuvres plastiques ― masques, hochets, peintures sur sable, etc. ― dotées d’une volonté et d’un destin, et qui donnent du pouvoir au thérapeute, qu’il soit chamane, devin, « homme-médecin », médium ou autre.Maintes questions se posent à leur propos. Cet ouvrage y apporte des réponses en s’appuyant sur des exemples pris dans une douzaine de sociétés à travers le monde et sur une iconographie spectaculaire et inédite.Parfois si belles, parfois dérisoires mais combien émouvantes, toutes ces œuvres témoignent de la force des croyances et de la confiance que des hommes ont eue ou ont dans le pouvoir de leur imagination créatrice. Elles sont aussi la preuve d’un besoin d’instaurer une relation non seulement intellectuelle, mais également affective avec le monde.

This sumptuous new book reveals more than 300 fabric "paintings" made and worn by the women of the Kuna, a tribe of indians that live on the coral islands off Panama's Atlantic coast. Lively, varied, original and full of humor, Mola art has an astonishing relationship with tradition but in many ways looks contemporary and is prized by museums and private collectors throughout the world. The lavish images reveal the setting, lifestyle, gestures and beauty of the Kuna women practising their art. French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss has praised Michel Perrin's brilliant demonstration of the links between Mola textile art and Kuna ritual and body decoration. Perrin depicts the significant events that took place during his field research and shares with us his discussions with the Kuna women and their opinions about techniques and aesthetics. The book also includes excerpts from myths and traditional accounts about the rituals, animals, plants, and objects that have stimulated the imagination and inspired the Kuna women to create these magnificent design

Over the last two decades, earth modeling has become a major investigative tool for evaluating the potential of hydrocarbon reservoirs. Current modeling procedures provide no way to link a range of data and interpretations with a final earth model, and sharing and exchanging information about the model building process is at present a major difficulty. Recently, the term Shared Earth Modeling has been used to express the idea that earth models should be built so that experts and end users can have access to all the information incorporated into the model. This information not only concerns the data, but also the knowledge that geoscientists produce by interpreting these data. Accordingly, practical solutions must be studied to determine a way to operate a knowledge-driven approach to Shared Earth Modeling, which is the goal of this book. Relying on recent progress in various fields of computer science, the authors present innovative solutions for solving the critical issue of knowledge exchange at key steps of the modeling process.
