Unter diesem verblüffenden Titel hat Hubert Fichte (1935-1986) ein Hörstück über Bewußtseinsstudien in Afrika verfaßt. Er stellt Methoden zur Heilung psychisch Kranker, die mit Elektroschocks und Medikamenten operieren, der traditionellen Heilmethode des Afrikaners Messanvi Sessou von der Westküste des schwarzen Kontinents gegenüber. Sessou untersucht zunächst, ob der Kranke sich an die rituellen und magischen Gesetze seiner Umgebung gehalten hat.

Fichtes Feldstudien sind Innenansichten aus der Welt der Dirnen und Stricher, sie folgen der Ökonomie des Anschaffens und 'Schluckens', sie zeichnen die Deformationen des Eros nach, die Perversionen der Normalität, das Halbdunkel der Kontakthöfe und die schweren Haschisch-Träume in den Zeiten vor Aids. Zugleich sind diese Dialoge Dokumente einer einzigartigen Rezeption von Marcel Prousts "Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit".
