Title: Anent Pages: 144 Size: 190x265 mm Price: 20€ Pub date: 01/2016 Pitch: (Anents are short poems sung in a low voice by Jivaro Indians in order to establish a form of thought transmission with plants, animals and spirits) Anent tells with much humour and selfmockery the story of Alessandro's stay with the Amazonian tribe of Jivaro Indians. Fascinated by the work of the anthropologist Philippe Descola, who was a specialist of this people, he gives us a clever and personal reading of his work. But is the mindblowing experience described by the anthropologist within everybody's reach? Anent explores the fantasy that can be awakened in an urban Westerner by a rich, complex and deeply animisIc society – in which mysteries are guarded jealously… A PhD graduate from the EHESS, Alessandro Pignocchi has produced several works of illustraIon, some of them in magazines about nature. He is the author of several essays published by Odile Jacob. Alessandro Pignocchi based this first graphic novel on the work of Philippe Descola, an anthropologist and a professor at the Collège de France, as well as a disciple of Claude LeviStrauss.
