The popularization and cult-like following of electronic music has
provoked new relations between men and machines, art and
technology, and modern shamans and disc jockeys. New technologies
and multimedia tools have awakened neo-ritual practices through the
emergence of Psychedelic Trance parties, evoking tribal experiences
inspired by a new shamanism, mediated by high-tech guide elements.
Exploring Psychedelic Trance and Electronic Dance Music in Modern
Culture investigates the expansive scope of Electronic Music Dance
Culture (EMDC), the rise of Psychedelic Trance culture, and their
relationship with new digital platforms. Drawing from perspectives
in sociology, anthropology, psychology, aesthetics and the arts,
religious studies, information technologies, multimedia
communication, shamanism, and ritualism, this book analyzes the
impact of new technologies on individual and collective behaviors
in cyberspace. This innovative reference source is ideal for use by
academicians, researchers, upper-level students, practitioners, and
theorists. Focusing on a variety of topics relating to
sub-cultures, human behavior, and popular culture, this title
features timely research on alternative culture, electronic music
festivals, ethnography, music and religion, psychedelic drugs,
Psytrance, rave culture, and trance parties.
