Socio-anthropologie (Dec 2023)
Un contact vibratoire avec les éléments
Abstract
This contribution looks at occidental geomancy practices called « geobiology », based on a survey initiated in 2020 in the Alpine region around the Grenoble urban region. Geobiology refers to a set of ways of feeling that are attentive to terrestrial, telluric and cosmic energies, mobilized for the purpose of caring for humans and animals or harmonizing the habitat. Based on a few examples of how we come into contact with these phenomena mobilizing different modalities of internal senses and somatic experience, we’ll show that they involve cosmologies that situate human beings between sky and earth, and manifest themselves in sensitive relationships with living environments.
