La representation de l'Esprit-Saint chez les Pilagá du Chaco central

Anatilde Idoyaga Molina

Revue Tiers-Monde, 2003, vol. n° 173, issue 1, 47-63

Abstract: The Pilaga are among the indigenous populations of the Chaco in Argentina. Their cosmogony brings into play a great diversity of spiritual entities that sustain relationships of dependency and/or conflict among themselves and with humans. Far from implying a conversion to Western values, the introduction of a Pentecostal movement in the 1940s brought about the appropriation of the figure of the Holy Spirit and its fusing into a symbolical universe crisscrossed by ancestral and foreign dimensions. In particular, the author shows how some chamans also resort to « conversion » as a way of affirming a new power.
