Knowledge Production and Spiritual Entrepreneurship in Zar
ISBN: 9783639316445 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Spirit mediumship beliefs and practices have been the subject of many anthropological studies.

This book, by contrast, argues that spirit possession, particularly zar, is so dynamic and multidimensional that it would be flawed to look for only one defining feature or element in it. Zar mediumship is at once so many things. It is religion like any...
