Attitudes toward Korean shamanism are changing as shamanic traditions appear in staged rituals, museums, films, and television programs, as well as on the internet. Contemporary Korean Shamanism explores this vernacular religion and practice, which includes sensory rituals using laden altars, ecstatic dance, and animal sacrifice, within South Korea's hypertechnologized society, where over 200,000 shamans are listed in professional organizations. Liora Sarfati reveals how representations of shamanism in national, commercialized, and screen-mediated settings have transformed opinions of these religious practitioners and their rituals. Applying ethnography and folklore research, Contemporary Korean Shamanism maps this shift in perception about shamanism-from a sign of a backward, undeveloped Korea to a valuable, indigenous cultural asset"--$cProvided by publisher 606 $aShamanism$zKorea (South) 606 $aReligion and sociology$zKorea (South)$xHistory$y21st century 615 0$aShamanism 615 0$aReligion and sociology$xHistory 676 $a299.57 700 $aSarfati$b Liora$01571299 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794655803321 996 $aContemporary Korean shamanism$93845643 997 $aUNINA
