Abstract
Passée du champ d’usage local et régional dans des réseaux globalisés de circulation, l’ayahuasca, plante psychoactive accompagnant des rituels néochamaniques, se propage à l’interface entre sociétés indigènes locales et mondes urbains latino-américains et internationaux. Comprendre le succès contemporain de l’ayahuasca implique donc de saisir la dynamique entre continuité et émergences culturelles et sociales qui tissent la trame historique et actuelle de contacts et adaptations entre les divers peuples amazoniens et les visiteurs et pouvoirs externes successifs.
