Dealing with Disasters - Perspectives from Eco-Cosmologies (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Diana Riboli, Pamela J. Stewart, Andrew... Dealing with Disasters - Perspectives from Eco-Cosmologies (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Diana Riboli, Pamela J. Stewart, Andrew J. Strathern, Davide Torri
R2,881 Discovery Miles 28 810 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Providing a fresh look at some of the pressing issues of our world today, this collection focuses on experiential and ritualized coping practices in response to a multitude of environmental challenges-cyclones, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes, warfare and displacements of peoples and environmental resource exploitation. Eco-cosmological practices conducted by skilled healing practitioners utilize knowledge embedded in the cosmological grounding of place and experiences of place and the landscapes in which such experience is encapsulated. A range of geographic case studies are presented in this volume, exploring Asia, Europe, the Pacific, and South America. With special reference throughout to ritual as a mode of seeking the stabilization, renewal, and continuity of life processes, this volume will be of particular interest to readers working in shamanic and healing practices, environmental concerns surrounding sustainability and conservation, ethnomedical systems, and religious and ritual studies.

Shamanism and Violence - Power, Repression and Suffering in Indigenous Religious Conflicts (Paperback): Diana Riboli Shamanism and Violence - Power, Repression and Suffering in Indigenous Religious Conflicts (Paperback)
Diana Riboli; Davide Torri
R1,827 Discovery Miles 18 270 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Proposing a new theoretical framework, this book explores Shamanism's links with violence from a global perspective. Contributors, renowned anthropologists and authorities in the field, draw on their research in Mongolia, China, Korea, Malaysia, Nepal, India, Siberia, America, Papua New Guinea, Taiwan to investigate how indigenous shamanic cultures dealt, and are still dealing with, varying degrees of internal and external violence. During ceremonies shamans act like hunters and warriors, dealing with many states related to violence, such as collective and individual suffering, attack, conflict and antagonism. Indigenous religious complexes are often called to respond to direct and indirect competition with more established cultural and religious traditions which undermine the sociocultural structure, the sense of identity and the state of well-being of many indigenous groups. This book explores a more sensitive vision of shamanism, closer to the emic views of many indigenous groups.
