The Constitution and Contestation of Darhad Shamans' Power in Contemporary Mongolia: Inner Asia Book Series, cartea 5

Autor Judith Hangartner
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 apr 2011
This book offers an in-depth insight into post-socialist rural shamans in Mongolia thereby making a rare but important contribution to the ethnography of both Inner Asia and Southern Siberia. It examines the social making of shamans, in particular those of the Shishget depression of the northernmost borders of Mongolia. By analysing practices, discourses and performances in local and national arenas, the author traces the social constitution of the shamans’ inspirational power, examines the shamans’ performance of power during the seance, discusses the economy of reputation of successful shamans and scrutinizes their legitimizing practices. The study will be welcomed by students of social/cultural anthropology and religious studies with a particular interest in shamanism or ritual studies.

Recenzii

"... On le voit : le présent ouvrage offre, d'une part, un récit circonstancié et très vivant des expériences et opinions d'une soixantaine de chamanes darkhad et, d'autre part, une réflexion vivifiante sur le métier d'anthropologue et les chausse-trapes des interprétations préfabriquées."
