This book explores the interest of one inroad which does not belong to
any one individual, organized school or academic group operating today.
At its root lies an attempt to bridge a gap using proposals that were
common tender in the 1930s and 40s, when a series of scholars from
different countries and scientific backgrounds had no qualms about
turning to sociology or anthropology, or even psychoanalysis, in order
to interpret the physical and material cultural features, as well as
religious, mythical and ritual features of the different peoples who
were the historical successors of the Indo-Europeans. 18 papers in
English and French.
