Dienstag | 17.15 Uhr | Personhood and Ritual Healing in Hyolmo Shamanism (Nepal) Dr. Davide Torri (South Asia Institute, University of Heidelberg) Notions of health and illness in the Himalayas rest on a particular theory about the body. Among several indigenous (adivasi) groups, illness is conceived as a foreign intrusion into the body or, on the contrary, it is thought to be caused by the temporary exit of life energies from it. The body is imagined as a space that could be opened and closed, emptied or filled, travelled through and even inhabited by multiple other-than-human entities. Bombo shamans, whose bodies epitomize these conditions, appear to be the ones in charge of the healing processes, being well-versed and trained in a specific set of ritual techniques employed to expel negative agents from the bodies of their patients or to call back lost life-energies or souls.
