D’invisibles à hyper-médiatisées : femmes chamanes shipibo-konibo et tourisme par ayahuasca en Amazonie occidentale
Les Cahiers du CIÉRA January 1, 2022 Anne‐marie Colpron 2 citations
Shipibo-Konibo women in western Amazonia have moved from invisibility to hyper-visibility as shamans in the ayahuasca tourism industry. The article examines how these women navigate and are transformed by the growing global demand for ayahuasca ceremonies, balancing traditional spiritual roles with new economic and media pressures. It argues that their increased visibility brings both opportunities for empowerment and risks of cultural commodification, reshaping indigenous gender identities and shamanic practices in the context of transnational tourism.
