Shamanism, Discourse, Modernity - Vitality of Indigenous Religions
Thomas Karl Alberts
Shamanism, Discourse, Modernity considers indigenous peoples? struggles for human rights, anxieties about anthropocentric mastery of nature, neoliberal statecraft, and entrepreneurialism of the self. The book focuses on four domains - shamanism, indigenism, environmentalism and neoliberalism - in terms of interrelated historical processes and overlapping discourses. In doing so, it engages with shamanism?s manifold meanings in a world increasingly sensitive to indigenous peoples? practices of territoriality, increasingly concerned about humans? integral relationship with natural environments, and increasingly encouraged and coerced to adjust self-conduct to comport with and augment government conduct.
Includes 3 b&w illustrations
