  • The shamaness at the threshold

    Sophie Roche, Davide TorriCHAPTERFemale Shamanism in Asia2020

    The conflicts between forms of shamanism and bureaucratically integrated religious practice seem to be almost a constant of historical encounters. Controlling beliefs and practices of a population over which empires and nation states expand was, and still is, considered a crucial part of state-building processes and a feature of modernization, where regimes of signs have to be checked and sanitized for the smooth functioning of the state machiner…

  • The shamaness’ new clothes

    Davide TorriCHAPTERFemale Shamanism in Asia2020

    For a long time, scholars dealing with shamanism focused mainly on its male declinations. Shamanism was typically analyzed as a “neutral category”, which inherently blinded ethnographers and their audiences to the gendered implications of such a view. A certain degree of attention has been certainly paid to the phenomena of transvestitism, “sexual inversion”, feminization of the shamans among various groups, but the scholarly gaze was focusing ma…

    Open AccessDavide TorriARTICLEEntangled Religions2019Citada por: 2Referências: 13

    One of the most relevant aspects of contemporary political life in Nepal is the rise of ethnic minorities. From the early 1990s, the movement for democracy started campaigning against Hindu Monarchic autocracy for the lifting of the ban on political parties, the recognition of multiculturalism and freedom of religion. Many things have changed since then: a Maoist-led insurgency and a new people's movement have managed to topple the monarchy and t…

  • Her Majesty’s Servants

    Davide TorriARTICLEReligions of South Asia2013Referências: 1

    Through an analysis of colonial and orientalist literature, this article will show how South Asian fauna, through the lenses of Colonial enterprise, came to epitomize a whole system of social relations which can be easily tri-partite: the ruler, the ruled and the unruly. The complex colonial apparatus of dominance and repression clearly surfaces in many of the texts produced by the literates working, living or simply travelling through the Britis…
