Tragic Spirits
Shamanism, Memory, and Gender in Contemporary Mongolia
how the clients of these religious specialists engage these new traditions precisely in order to make sense of their current lives. Thus by moving beyond the by-now fetishized shaman, and both their venality within the capitalist system and their clients’ supposed gullibility, the author reveals the ongoing process whereby memory is reclaimed in new ways in order to rebuild a shattered community.”
