Est-ce au fait d'etre ne au confluent de deux rivieres, sur la frontiere mouvante entre France et Allemagne, que Marc Georges Klein doit son rejet tot affirme des identites imposees, et son gout pour les champs croises, les aventures traversieres ? Car la transdisciplinarite ne constitue pas seulement pour lui un paradigme methodologique ou epistemologique, mais la texture de l'experience meme. Dans cet ouvrage en forme de patchwork structure croisant donnees biographiques, observations historiques, references etymologiques, positions theoriques ou politiques et fragments poetiques, l'auteur temoigne d'un parcours marque par l'autrete qui culmine dans sa rencontre avec les cultures originaires du monde maya. Ces pages questionnent ainsi depuis la perspective de la paganite divers axiomes ethno-centres de la modernite occidentale et celebrent la diversite des modes d'existence et des pratiques humaines. Elles appellent a renouer avec nos racines multiples et a accueillir la complexite du vivant. Un livre vibrant au croisement des memoires et des possibles.
