1. Lam's biography seems tailor-made for todays' infatuation with multiculturalism: he was born in Cuba to a Chinese father and a Creole mother, he was a Roman Catholic fascinated by Santeria (Cuban animism), his studies and work took him to France, Spain, the United States and the Caribbean, and each of his three wives came from a different European country.
2. Freud's view here is Comtean; he thinks in terms of three stages for the progress of civilization, beginning with the animistic phase, to which modern obsessional or paranoid neurotics regress, going through an intermediate phase of religion, which is different from the first because people give the powers and omnipotence to gods, and not to themselves as they do in the magical phase of animism.
3. The book highlights such subjects as animism, Jewish, Christian and Hellenistic "mythologies"; the realities of health, sickness and death; of nature - its seasons (notably Spring and Winter) and its glories, as well as its decadence (we find no evidence for Djwa's contention that "the book moves through cycles of winter death followed by spring rebirth," any more than for her "structural myth" or "controlling Orpheus myth" which form the foundation for her critique of the book); of rationality and madness; loneliness and intimacy; of truth and treachery, prayer and protest; of prophet and priest, doctors and teachers, angels and devils; freedom and slavery, sainthood and sinning, wonder and despair, war and peace, love and loss, beauty and brutality; regret and humour; sensuality and discipline, joy and sadness; of the greatness of God and his creation, and the pitiful smallness and incompetency of man; the city and the breadth of nature itself: sea and air, rivers and countryside; savagery and urbanity; loss and its disappointing pangs.
4. In one evocative passage, during a discussion of animism and the development of automata, he refers to a six-year-old girl showing her doll how a computer works and explaining that it is a friend.
5. The story which most reminds me of animism (if anything does) is that of the angel who stirred up the pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-;15).
6. I know also that many modern scholars believe demons are part of a primitive Weltanschauung (world-view) that smacks of pagan animism where gods and spirits dwelt in rocks, streams, and trees.
7. They still retain large elements of animism, a belief which assigns a divine spark or spirit to every material thing.
8. In the early phases of civilization's development, the first phase of "animism", people project their inner emotions and impulses outwards and thereby populate a universe with various spirits and supernatural powers.
9. Indeed, for most of human history we have tended to do the reverse, to use the analogy of the human mind to explain what happens in the physical world, an approach known as "animism".
10. Even after leaving behind this "animism", it is still by their relative resistance or permeability to insight through simulation that in relating things to each other we relate them also to ourselves as inanimate, vegetable, animal, human.
11. More recently, in many primitive societies, where animism has been practised, it would have been considered sacrilege to bring nature under control.
12. Animism and the Omnipotence of Thoughts
13. Animism has its own heady pleasures, however, and I went on listening to Michael Quirke and admiring wooden statuette after statuette.
