摘要：The Eskimo entry of the Diderot&d’Alembert’s Encyclopédie[Encyclopaedia]conveys a stereotyped,preformed,and caricatured image of the folk,built in with bias,omissions,and *** emphasizes their bestiality and primitivism,to stick them as the prototype of the savagery,the personification of a degenerated and shy humanity of the *** author of the entry,the well-known Chevalier de Jaucourt,widely plagiarizes an undisclosed source,“Une lettre de Ste Helene,du 30 Octobre 1751”[An October 30,1751 letter from Ste Helene],a purportedly anonymous text,the author of which is identified here in Mère[Mather]Marie-Andrée Duplessis de Sainte-Hélè*** Chevalier bafflingly removes all the sentences of the Lettre which can turn-out celebratory of the Eskimos’technological skill and their religious *** severe cuts show an adverse apriori on the veracity of a document written by a woman,and—what is more—a nun.

摘要：Native Inuit developed a complex system of shamanic-oriented thinking. They filled the frozen immensities of the Arctic with a number of omnipresent ghosts and spirits. In its shamanic-religious dimension, the Dorset art （circa 1000 B.C. to circa 1000 A.D.）, stemming from a culture moulded by shamanic practices and burial rites, kept memory of the Times of Origins, shaped a very rich symbolic universe, suggested, and outsourced the secret correspondences between the micro and macro cosmos. The present paper investigates the thigh correspondence and relationship between the Inuit-Dorset shamanic view of the world and their miniaturized art.
