Описание: Missionary, linguist, and ethnographer Emile Petitot (1838-1916) was known for his work in Canadas Northwest Territories and as the author of a corpus including the first grammar of an Amerindian language and an astonishing body of transcribed ritual texts and myths. However, over the course of his twenty years in the Arctic Circle, he descended into a long delirium and began to summon imaginary persecutions, pen improbable interpretations of his Arctic hosts, and explode in paroxysms of schizoid fury. In telling this story, Pierre D l age reconstructs, step by step and with the ethnographers eye, the biography of a delusion.

Delving into the obverse of the very texture of ethnographic inquiry, D l age takes us on an enthralling journey across the indigenous Arctic world, moving skilfully between ethnobiography and the analytic conundrums that arise in profound cognitive displacement. Whoever wishes to know the cost of knowing alien cultures will find this anthropological novella hard to put down.
