Women's Role

   Sufism is a mystical thread of Islam, which when practiced as a cultural system, creates Sufi culture, which is considered significantly different from orthodox, normative or official versions of Islam. Women's contribution to this Sufi culture, which often assimilates indigenous cultural values, has not been fully explored, thus causing ambivalence about Sufi women's lives and their roles. This paper attempts to fill this gap by exploring a variety of aspects of Sufi women's role and contribution to the enrichment of Sufi traditions and local culture in Pakistan through the case study of Mai Sahiba and her shrine, Sahi Sharif, in Punjab. This paper has two main sections. Section one, drawing upon secondary sources, highlights complex perspectives on gender and role of Sufi women in general within Sufism. Section two, drawing upon primary textual sources about Mai Sahiba's life and ethnographic fieldwork at her shrine, offers a glimpse of her life and shows how her devotees celebrate her as a Sufi who challenged hierarchical structures that exist within Sufism and in Pakistan.

AbstractThis study aims to explain the role of Usif in environmental management to maintain ecological balance, preserve natural resources and no less important is to prevent all forms of disasters due to natural damage. This research uses a case study method with a qualitative approach. In qualitative research, this is possible to do, namely by using the perspective of pragmatism in which researchers focus on the problem or problem to be solved. The results showed that usif's position in the traditional governance structure of the Boti community as the supreme leader and role model of the community, usif played an important role in developing and implementing customary rules based on hereditary traditions. One of the cultural values implanted by usif in the community is about the cosmological understanding that mountains, rocks and trees are analogous to bones, water as blood, land as meat which must be protected by everyone. Prohibitions concerning water, forests and animals are a very important part of life. These cultural values are then believed to be the most effective ways of managing nature.   Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peran Usif dalam pengelolaan lingkungan untuk menjaga keseimbangan ekologis, melestarikan semberdaya alam dan yang tidak kalah penting adalah mencegah terjadinya segala bentuk bencana akibat kerusakan alam. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kasus dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Dalam penelitian kualitatif, hal ini dimungkinkan untuk dilakukan yaitu dengan menggunakan perspektif pragmatisme yang di dalamnya peneliti berfokus pada problem atau masalah yang hendak dipecahkan. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kedudukan usif dalam struktur pemerintahan adat masyarakat Boti sebagai pemimpin tertinggi serta sosok panutan masyarakat, usif berperan penting dalam mengembangkan dan menerapkan aturan-aturan adat berdasarkan tradisi turun-temurun. Salah satau nilai budaya yang ditanamkan oleh usif pada masyarakatnya adalah tentang pemahaman kosmologisnya yakni gunung, batu dan pohon dianalogikan sebagai tulang, air sebagai darah, tanah sebagai daging yang harus dijaga oleh setiap orang. Larangan menyangkut air, hutan, dan satwa menjadi bagian hidup yang sangat penting. Nilai budaya tersebutlah yang kemudian diyakini sebagai cara paling ampuh dalam mengelola alam.

United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), the European Commission, national governments and numerous organisations have undertaken a series of initiatives and projects that are aimed at engaging young people in the preservation and promotion of cultural values from the international level to the local ones. The aim of this study is to identify and analyse the role of youth in cultural heritage preservation and promotion in a local area, after considering the importance of their engagement.

Verification Process

The use of psychedelics in the collective rituals of numerous indigenous groups suggests that these substances are powerful catalysts of social affiliation, enculturation, and belief transmission. This feature has recently been highlighted as part of the renewed interest in psychedelics in Euro-American societies, and seen as a previously underestimated vector of their therapeutic properties. The property of psychedelics to increase feelings of collective belonging and transmission of specific cultural values or beliefs raise, however, complex ethical questions in the context of the globalization of these substances. In the past decades, this property has been perceived as problematic by anticult movements and public authorities of some European countries, claiming that these substances could be used for “mental manipulation.” Despite the fact that this notion has been widely criticized by the scientific community, alternative perspectives on how psychedelic experience supports enculturation and social affiliation have been yet little explored. Beyond the political issues that underlie it, the re-emergence of the concept of “psychedelic brainwashing” can then be read as the consequence of the fact that the dynamic through which psychedelic experience supports persuasion is still poorly understood. Beyond the unscientific and politically controversed notion of brainwashing, how to think the role of psychedelics in the dynamics of transmission of belief and its ethical stakes? Drawing on data collected in a shamanic center in the Peruvian Amazon, this article addresses this question through an ethnographic case-study. Proposing the state of hypersuggestibility induced by psychedelics as the main factor making the substances powerful tools for belief transmission, I show that it is also paradoxically in its capacity to produce doubt, ambivalence, and reflexivity that psychedelics support enculturation. I argue that, far from the brainwashing model, this dynamic is giving a central place to the agency of the recipient, showing that it is ultimately on the recipient’s efforts to test the object of belief through an experiential verification process that the dynamic of psychedelic enculturation relies on. Finally, I explore the permanence and the conditions of sustainability of the social affiliation emerging from these practices and outline the ethical stakes of these observations.
