Commensalités pour les morts et les saints by Magali Demanget

“…These common practices lead back to the frontier between two ritual spheres : that of the Church, where the pretentious festivities are characterized by ostentatiousness ; and that more subterranean aspect of Shamanism, where the rituals of healing and oblations play their part in the agricultural life, in averting misfortune, and in curing the afflictions of the body.…”

The Śāriputra and Raudrākṣa – On the Identity of the Bronze Drum in the Dunhuang Murals by Minqian Liao

“…The drum’s depiction in the contest scene reflects the clash between Buddhism and indigenous religious practices, symbolising the transition from animism and shamanism to Buddhist dominance.

Guerre et récit chez les Indiens ayorés du Chaco boréal paraguayen by Salvatore D’Onofrio

“…This sort of pantomime, little known among other Indians of the lowlands, is related to myth by virtue of the canonical manner in which it unfolds and of the connexions it establishes with other aspects of Ayoreo culture: body painting, hunting, shamanic powers, ritual activities. Ayoreo warfare – compelled in order to be effective to inscribe itself within a symbolic horizon – is modelled on the basis of the logic of predation, as has been emphasized in several recent works, but confirms – above all through the analysis of substances and gestures – its possible conversion into an exchange relationship.…”
