Abstract
The article provides a concise introduction to two issues in anthropological research on shamanism:1) the conceptual use of the term “shamanism” and 2) the main methodological approaches to its study. It proposes a kind of cognitive map of shamanisms, shaped by key ideas from anthropology. The text also suggests a way to organize the extensive literature on shamanism from both paradigmatic perspectives, encompassing approaches, schools, and frameworks, and a historical perspective, considering stages, phases, and periods of research. In doing so, the article offers a structured entry point into the complex field of shamanism studies
