Tracing this classic category of the history of anthropology back to the emergence of the term in Siberia, the work follows the trajectory of European knowledge about the continent's eastern frontier. The ethnographic record left by German natural historians engaged in the Russian colonial expansion project in the 18th century includes a range of shamanic practitioners, varied by gender and age. Later accounts by exiled Russian revolutionaries noted transgendered shamans. This variation vanished, however, in the translation of shamanism into archaeology theory, where a male sorcerer emerged as the key agent of prehistoric art. More recent efforts to provide a universal shamanic explanation for rock art via South Africa and neurobiology likewise gloss over historical evidence of diversity. By contrast this book argues for recognizing indeterminacy in the categories we use, and reopening them by recalling their complex history. 606 $aShamans$zSiberia$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aShamanism$zRussia (Federation)$zSiberia 607 $aSiberia (Russia)$xReligious life and customs 607 $aSiberia (Russia)$xCivilization 607 $aSiberia (Russia)$xColonization 610 $aanthropologists. 610 $aarchaeologists. 610 $aarchaeology theory. 610 $aart and religion. 610 $acultural anthropology. 610 $adiverse history. 610 $aethnographers. 610 $aethnographic records. 610 $aeurope. 610 $ahistorians. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory of anthropology. 610 $ahuman history. 610 $ahumanity. 610 $amodern perspective. 610 $anatural historians. 610 $aneurobiology. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aprehistory. 610 $aproto priest. 610 $areligious figures. 610 $aretrospective. 610 $ashamanic practitioners. 610 $ashamanism. 610 $ashamans. 610 $asocial science. 610 $atransgendered shamans. 610 $aworld history. 615 0$aShamans 615 0$aShamanism 676 $a201.44 700 $aTomá?ková$b Silvia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01709256 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810695403321 996 $aWayward Shamans$94098875 997 $aUNINA
