Eisejuaz: shaman (and Santos Aparicio's life stories)
Keywords:
Eisejuaz, Wichís, Sara Gallardo, chamanismoAbstract
This conversation with Pastor Marcos Delgado, of the Evangelical Mission Assembly of God —from Embarcación, in Salta, Argentina—, took place on Monday night, July 15, 2019. It is regarding Lisandro Vega, the “true Eisejuaz”, protagonist of Sara Gallardo's novel Eisejuaz published in 1971, and a member of the same church. The Pastor speaks extensively of the man, as well as Santos Aparicio, another character of great relevance in the novel, and in the "matacos" culture —"matacos" is a name used in the past, in a derogatory manner, to designate the people of Eisejuaz— in a rich, subjective and hybrid survey of the interpreters, the "shamans of God", and of other faces of wichí shamanism.
