ANTHRO 9 Lecture Notes - Lecture 13: Omen, American Anthropologist, Laura Bush
Document Summary
In paul stroller"s (2009) third chapter of the power of the between: an. Anthropological odyssey, he outlines his experience in the seemingly poor, but actually prosperous to its own people, village of mehanna in which he was granted the opportunity to be djibo"s apprentice. While taking field notes one night, two birds pooped on paul"s (2009) head and djibo took it as a sign to take paul under his wing and teach him his ways (2009:25). Later, paul (2009) was prompted to accompany djibo to heal a man who was bewitched, in which paul failed to actually see and listen and understand everything that was occurring in the entire cultural and spiritual context (2009:29). Stroller (2009) closes the chapter with an anecdote of the sufi where the state of being between (2009:35) reveals that no matter how much we know or practice, the world is still imaginative and curious.
