Contemporary Shamanisms in Norway
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-067882-1 (ISBN)
Based on more than ten years of ethnographic research, the book paints a picture of contemporary shamanism in Norway in its cultural context, relating it both to the local mainstream cultures in which it is situated and to global networks. By this, the book provides the basis for a study revealing the development of inventiveness, nuances and polyphony that occur when a global religion of shamanism is merged in a Norwegian setting, colored by its own political and cultural circumstances.
Trude Fonneland is currently professor at the Department of Culture studies at Tromsø University Museum, UiT, the Arctic University in Tromsø. Her research interests revolve around contemporary religion in society, particularly Sami shamanism, tourism, popular culture as well as research on Sami cultures and histories.
