dc.description.abstractLo sciamanismo, inteso come struttura socio-psichica e come espressione di una Weltanschauung “anti-moderna” (e di un approccio olistico che nega la nozione di individualità assoluta), ha catturato l'attenzione di generazioni di antropologi e storici delle religioni -ma anche di medici e psicologi- affascinati da questa forma “esotica e bizzarra” di gestire le relazioni con il mondo ultraterreno attraverso la performance di un agente, lo sciamano, dotato di poteri congeniti (e stimolati, generalmente, grazie all'uso di sostanze capaci di alterare lo stato di coscienza, gli enteogeni). Lo sciamanismo urbano, come fenomeno sociale emergente, si manifesta come una creazione ibrida che unisce forme e contenuti della pratica sciamanica “tradizionale” con le esigenze -assolutamente post-moderne- di seguaci (o clienti) in cerca di equilibrio psichico e sociale. Il presente saggio intende descrivere un esperienza etnografica realizzata in Colombia ed in un contesto urbano, con uno sciamano di origine italiana.it
dc.description.abstractShamanism, considered as a psycho-social structure and as an expression of an “anti-modern” Weltanschauung (idest, a holistic approach repudiating the notion of “absolute individuality”), has been catching the interest of a legion of anthropologists and historians of religions -but also medics and psychologists- fascinated by such an “exotic and bizarre” scheme to manage relations with the ultra-mundane universe by the performance of an agent, the shaman, provided with inborn powers (generally stimulated with drugs altering the state of consciousness: the entheogens). Urban shamanism, as an emerging social phenomena, appears as a hybrid creation synchronizing forms and contents of the “traditional” shamanic practice with the -absolutely post-modern- needs of disciples (or clients) looking for their psycho-social balance. This essay would describe an ethnographic experience realized in an urban context, in Colombia, with a shaman of Italian origins.en
