“…Traditional culture became entangled in the kinds of movement that supposedly destroyed it'. 46 The nineteenth-and twentieth-century distinction between 'modernity' and 'tradition' is gendered, and this is also the case when the distinction is applied to notions of charisma. This can be seen when taking into account the use of the term to describe men of note, and it can also be observed in the emphatic visible presence of charismatic women in a public sphere considered to be the terrain of men.…”

'Charisma' can be a catch-all term that obfuscates more than it reveals. What it does reveal often says more about the historical and cultural context in which 'charisma' was deployed than about its subject. In this introduction we trace the concept's contextual shifts across its intersections with gender, religion and power. We explore the different ways in which women in the religious sphere have been considered charismatic, thereby addressing Max Weber's definition of 'charisma' as well as its subsequent reinventions in the social sciences and the humanities. Particular focus goes to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when the mediatization of 'charisma' created new opportunities and risks for women in religion.

The voice—from the utility of oral traditions to the pedagogy of singing as performance—is essential to the human experience, yet its use of it has become the narrow purview of those privileged enough to study or make a career out of teaching or performing. In this article, the authors lend unique perspectives on the voice as an instrument of tremendous capacity by providing a lens on its utility in oral traditions. Lullaby, chants, work songs, and vendor songs as specific oral traditions offer entry points to understanding vocal utility that synthesizes both practicalities with aesthetics. Their study within the context of vocal improvisation offers much value to those seeking an understanding of the voice’s potential and for those whose access and comfort with their own voice has been diminished. Such liberation afforded by the exploration of these oral traditions can inform the work of music therapists, voice coaches, students, and everyday singers.
