Antropología, psicología y estados alterados de conciencia. Una revisión crítica desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria

Resumo

Objetivo. Analizar los estados alterados de conciencia a través de un diálogo interdisciplinario entre la antropología, la psicología y las neurociencias. Metodología. En primer lugar se analizará a grandes rasgos las definiciones de consciencia y estados alterados de conciencia, por medio de las disciplinas enunciadas, describiendo sus convergencias y divergencias. Posteriormente se realizará un recorrido por las distintas concepciones antropológicas sobre las prácticas de trance y los debates suscitados por las tensiones relacionadas entre las dicotomías: etic y emic, cognición y cultura. Resultados y conclusiones. Finalmente se describirán los distintos modelos antropológicos que realizan una síntesis actualizada del tema; integrando biología, cognición y cultura desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria que permita superar reduccionismos tanto biológicos como culturales.
