This lecture dealt with Neo-Shamanism in Israel, but… actually, how can one describe Neo-Shamanism in Israel when it’s unclear what Neo-Shamanism is? And indeed, the tern is unclear.
The lecture discussed the term and its problematization, the question of relation between Shamanism and Neo-Shamanism, the search for the common denominator of “Shamanic” phenomena, and more.
The lecture was conducted in Hebrew, in a Post-graduates’ seminar in Theatre Studies at the University of Haifa, organized by Prof. Ati Citron, on May 2019. Unfortunately, there’s only an abstract (in Hebrew) of the lecture.
Ruah-Midbar Shapiro also co-authored a Report on Neo-Shamanism in Israel, see here.
