Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Although shamanism has become a well-developed and expansive topic within the anthropology of Amazonia, the ethnographic literature focusing on sorcery has been sporadic and sparse by comparison. This has particularly been the case since the death of Neil L. Whitehead in 2012. However, as this volume shows, sorcery is often of great importance in the lives and cosmologies of many people in different parts of lowland South America. Across the region, it takes a variety of forms and involves a diverse range of practices. This edited volume comparatively re-examines the topic of sorcery in Amazonia with particular emphases on local ontological frameworks, issues of embodiment, and related uses of sound.It highlights ethical approaches to research concerning sorcery and discusses the ethics within local communities of sorcery practices and accusations. Schamanismus ist in der Anthropologie Amazoniens ein ausdifferenziertes und umfangreiches Forschungsfeld. Aber nur vereinzelt beschäftigen sich ethnografische Publikationen mit magischen Praktiken. Der Sammelband zeigt die große Bedeutung von Hexerei und Magie im Leben und in der Kosmologie vieler Menschen in verschiedenen Teilen des südamerikanischen Tieflands. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt auf lokalen ontologischen Rahmenbedingungen, Fragen der Verkörperung und der damit verbundenen Verwendung von Klängen in Amazonien. Ethische Ansätze zur Erforschung von Magie werden ebenso beleuchtet wie die Ethik von magischen Praktiken und Hexerei-Anschuldigungen inner- halb lokaler Gemeinschaften.Sprachen: Englisch, Spanisch
