298 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Original work both in terms of author’s chosen theoretical framework (phenomenology-holography) and the empirical richness of ethnographic detail through which the former is executed. Captivating and original ethnographic content and its articulation through conceptual and interpretive integration. Experiential-Participatory approach to fieldwork, providing some original insights and deep understanding of Yanomami shamanism and cosmology from the "inside". Articulate, fluent and incisive writing style, yet plain enough to attract a wide range of academic and non-academic public interest in the subject.
