Plants of transformations: Using of plant hallucinogens by mexican indians in Oaxaca and by mestices in Peru
Horák, Miroslav ; Halbich, Marek (advisor) ; Komárek, Stanislav (referee)
This diploma thesis compares the use of natural hallucinogens by native groups of Mexican and Peruvian inhabitants from the cultural-ecological point of view. The basis of the thesis is an ethno-botanical analysis of the particular plant species containing this type of psychoactive substances, an anthropological interpretation of shamanism and a description of the particular rituals focusing especially on their curative function. Attention is also paid to artistic displays of shamans and healers. In the end of the thesis the ritualised way of using hallucinogens is confronted with the attitude to drugs of the present society.

Pokorný, Vít ; Komárek, Stanislav (advisor) ; Horák, Miroslav (referee) ; Dadejík, Ondřej (referee)
Pokorný, V., To think from psychedelic experiences. Transdisciplinary interpretation. Diseration Thesis, Departement of General Anthropology, Faculty of Humanities, Charles University Prague, 2016 Abstract: The goal of this text is to think from and according to psychedelic experiences. To think from psychededic experiences means to introduce a transdisciplinary model of psychedelic domain. This model is based on autoethnographic, cognitive, phenomenological and psychopharmacological types of analysis. These analyses allow to demonstrate: 1) place of psychedelics in contemporary globalised czech society; 2) possible heuristic (theoretical and experiemental) value of psychedelic experience for understanding human situation. This text interprets psychedelic experience as a process of deteritorialization and reteritorialization that occurs on different, intertwinned levels of our experience, and, thus, it is a contribution to explication of a philosophical concept of intertwinning. Keywords: psychedelic experience, transdisciplinarity, autoethnography, cognitive anthropology, anthropology of experience, enactivism, phenomenology, embodiment, analogy, intertwinning
