L'article expose un comparatisme reposant sur la pratique des regards croisés dont nous postulons la pertinence pour comprendre l'échange d'idées et de pratiques entre l'Inde et l'«Occident». Durant les XIXe et XXe siècles naît l'un des phénomènes de mondialisation les plus intéressants, à savoir l'exportation et la globalisation du yoga indien. Pendant que l'«Occident» s'éveille au yoga spirituel inauguré par Vivekananda (dès 1893), des yogis indiens soumettent leur tradition à l'expérimentation scientifique moderne (années 20). Dans leur ouvrage commun Sport et Yoga (1941/48), Selvarajan Yesudian (le yogi chrétien indien) et Elisabeth Haich (l'ésotériste hongroise) illustrent d'une manière paradigmatique les synthèses créatives qui peuvent s'opérer dans les processus d'échanges pluri-dimensionels et pluri-directionnels entre les traditions indiennes et européennes que seule une posture comparative, capable de faire le va-et-vient entre les deux traditions, est à même de saisir.

Different visual stimuli have been shown to recruit different mental imagery strategies. However the role of specific visual stimuli properties related to body context and posture in mental imagery is still under debate. Aiming to dissociate the behavioural correlates of mental processing of visual stimuli characterized by different body context, in the present study we investigated whether the mental rotation of stimuli showing either hands as attached to a body (hands-on-body) or not (hands-only), would be based on different mechanisms. We further examined the effects of postural changes on the mental rotation of both stimuli. Thirty healthy volunteers verbally judged the laterality of rotated hands-only and hands-on-body stimuli presented from the dorsum- or the palm-view, while positioning their hands on their knees (front postural condition) or behind their back (back postural condition). Mental rotation of hands-only, but not of hands-on-body, was modulated by the stimulus view and orientation. Additionally, only the hands-only stimuli were mentally rotated at different speeds according to the postural conditions. This indicates that different stimulus-related mechanisms are recruited in mental rotation by changing the bodily context in which a particular body part is presented. The present data suggest that, with respect to hands-only, mental rotation of hands-on-body is less dependent on biomechanical constraints and proprioceptive input. We interpret our results as evidence for preferential processing of visual- rather than kinesthetic-based mechanisms during mental transformation of hands-on-body and hands-only, respectively.
