This chapter explores the polymorphic capacities of ruopfu by examining Angami and broader Naga understandings of the tekhumiavi – &s;man in the shape of a tiger&s; – that still exist among the Eastern Angami. Thus, in addition to elucidating dream &s;reversibility&s; in relation to the composite &s;selves&s; of Angami personhood, ruopfu as a disembodied subject can also reveal the ways in...

As an anthropologist, Felicitas Goodman examined the effect of what she believed to be the ritual body postures of shamans, both current and ancient, and found that they gave direction to their shamanic journeying. This research of Goodman and now James Honeycutt opens a new door, a new tool that can be an important addition to the tools of psychotherapy. In her research of ecstatic trance,...

When answering this question, Hmong Americans face a dilemma, whether to offer a response that is convenient and easily understood by others, or to provide one that...

Abstract After depicting the contemporary scene of Huni Kuin ayahuasca shamanism and artistic agency, I analyze a selection of image-songs from this ritual. The songs unveil the workings of embodied perception and synesthesia, that is, the transductions of bodily sensations and perceptions in vision, rhythm, song and sound. The experience entails a process of other-becoming where to know means...

Propongo analizar el neochamanismo como un nuevo paradigma para los no indígenas, en el que la práctica chamánica es el resultado de intercambios materiales e inmateriales entre un chamanismo local y un chamanismo global. A través de un estudio comparativo entre la reserva natural sagrada de Wirikuta, en el Estado de San Luis Potosí, México, y la región de Bugarach, en Francia, estudiaré cómo...
