| Résumé: | The study presents ethno-photographic research conducted in southeastern Mexico, that focuses on Maya-inspired shamanic revivals. Methodological aspects are discussed, such as the anthropological use of ethnography and photography as complementary tools and the advantages of such a dialogue for analyzing social realities. Proposing analysis of holistic settings through the notion of ecofeminism, the study shows that the association of the feminine with nature and concepts such as "Mother Earth" are metaphors that contribute to a whole symbolic universe that discusses gender dynamics, while reifying essentialized gender binary. Illustrated by photographs and ethnographic examples, analysis is the result of our insertion in a field where most practitioners are female alternative therapists. However, they remain marginalized in a religious landscape dominated by men. The study combines images, empirical observations, and analysis of interviews. In doing so, it seeks to underline dynamics of visibility and invisibility of women in a changing religious scene. The paper finally explores images’ possible narratives when connected to anthropological discourses. |
