It examines the social making of shamans, in particular those of the Shishget depression of the northernmost borders of Mongolia. By analysing practices, discourses and performances in local and national arenas, the author traces the social constitution of the shamans’ inspirational power, examines the shamans’ performance of power during the seance, discusses the economy of reputation of successful shamans and scrutinizes their legitimizing practices. The study will be welcomed by students of social/cultural anthropology and religious studies with a particular interest in shamanism or ritual studies.Inner Asia series ;v. 5.ShamanismMongoliaShamansMongoliaSocial conditionsElectronic books.ShamanismShamansSocial conditions.201.44Hangartner Judith872271MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462181903321The constitution and contestation of Darhad Shaman's power in contemporary Mongolia1947516UNINA
