Why does a shaman sing? (Prolegomena to the theory of shamanic intonation)

Музыкальное искусство Евразии. Традиции и современность December 30, 2021 О.а. Власова

В статье предпринимается попытка формулирования основных предварительных положений теории шаманского интонирования. Данный феномен, вобравший в себя тысячелетний опыт оперирования голосом как инструментом, помогающим, по предположению автора, вхождению в измененные состояния сознания (Ч.

HTS Teologiese Studies / Theological Studies December 17, 2021 H. Muhammad, Ilyas Supena, A. A. Junaidi et al.

Annual Review of Anthropology October 21, 2021 Bruce Grant 14 citations

If our knowledge of shamanism has been so abidingly partial, so impressively uneven, so deeply varied by history, and so enduringly skeptical for so long, how has its study come to occupy such pride of place in the anthropological canon? One answer comes in a history of social relations where shamans both are cast as translators of the unseen and are themselves sites of anxiety in a very real...
