'This book is a collection of various texts written by French anthropologist Barbara Glowczewski, including discussions with Guattari that took place in his seminar at the beginning of the 1980s. The reader is led to the creative mode in which Warlpiri people from Central Australia anchor their totemic cartography in dreams and constitute their nomadic existential territories through body paintings or ritual dancing. The author’s fascinating analysis and narratives establish connections with Deligny’s wander lines, Viveiros de Castro’s perspectivism and Guattari’s ecosophy as well as address most urgent cosmopolitical issues .'
