CSORDAS, Thomas J.. Os saberes da cura e a condição humana: cenas do momento presente em terras navajo. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2010, vol.33, n.01, pp.26-34. ISSN 1981-2582.

The encounter of Navajo spirituality and healing practice with modernity in the present moment must be understood within an existential appreciation of temporality, tradition, domination, and immediacy. Examining the practical exigencies and experiential nuances in a performance of the Navajo Nightway ceremony allows us to elaborate this insight.

Palabras clave : Experience and Intersubjectivity; Modernity and the Present; Navajo Ritual Healing; Knowledge of Healing.
