Una lezione sciamanica per la storia delle religioni

Abstract

Karénina Kollmar-Paulenz confronts the challenge of comparison in religious studies by “Provincializing Europe.” Her examination of the Mongolian context decentralizes the Western perspective on shamanism, compelling it to witness unprecedented cultural contacts that have led to categorizing the “religions of others.” From this perspective, observing these defining processes offers a decisive lesson in methods for the historical-religious disciplines.
