“…La littérature scientifique distingue le chamanisme traditionnel, basé sur la transmission des connaissances de génération en génération, au sein de traditions culturelles spécifiques, et le « néo-chamanisme », généralement enseigné au sein d'ateliers, et qui redécouvre ou réinvente les traditions anciennes à des fins plus personnelles [8,9]. Dans le contexte du chamanisme traditionnel, le rôle du chamane est pour une grande part de remédier aux crises et difficultés rencontrées par des membres de la communauté, et qui sont fréquemment attribuées à des divinités en colère ou à la malice d'esprits malfaisants [10,11].…”

“…Therefore, while there remains considerable discussion about where shamanism lies in the theological spectrum (see e.g. Diózegi and Hóppal 1978;Dubois 2011;Hóppal 2007;Taksami 1998), the significance of drums to northern peoples-prehistoric, historic, and modern-cannot be overstated.…”

Abstract:The only known evidence of Dorset Palaeoeskimo drum use ever documented was salvaged decades ago along with thousands of other Late Dorset Palaeoeskimo artifacts from an eroding coastal site (PfFm-1) at Button Point on Bylot Island, Nunavut (Figure 1) (Mary-Rousselière 1976, Taylor 1971-1972. These finds consist of two nearly complete wooden drums and various other drum frame fragments that date to the centuries surrounding A.D. 1000 (Taylor 1971(Taylor -1972. In the spring of 2014, the authors and Lori White re-examined all of the wood fragments recovered from Button Point, documenting the known drum pieces and discovering nearly a dozen previously unidentified drum fragments. These fragments represent instruments in a range of sizes, but with a consistent and uniquely Late Dorset Palaeoeskimo style that has not been identified prior to our research. In this paper, we discuss a proposed typology of the Dorset drums and drum fragments, and contrast their stylistic attributes with subsequent historic Inuit drum morphology in the region. We will also discuss some of the functional aspects of how the drums were manufactured and the use of foraged coastal resources in their construction. Finally, we offer an interpretation of the driftwood-constructed drums as part of what we believe to be elements of Late Dorset shamanism.

“…In recent years, shamanic research innovations have been revitalized as multiple studies have attempted to reconstruct the shamanism of the past through historical, ethnographic, and archaeological evidence (Dubois, 2011). Research suggests that shamanism, as a primitive form that transcends ordinary consciousness, has elements of cultural representation that are cross-cultural in nature (Winkelman, 2011).…”

This study aims to comprehend better the culture surrounding Romantic aesthetics of fantasy and the uncanny during the nineteenth century (c.1800-1890) and evaluate how their expression in Schubert's music can be understood. Initially, it will examine philosophical writings (Chander 2015; Ffytche) artwork (Crane 2013; Dunekacke 2016) and literature (Geistfeld 2015; Smajic 2003) of the period, combining this examination with academic literature (Ellerman 2015; Trumball 1905) to explore why and how ideas around fantasy and the uncanny were spreading through European culture and taking on extra significance. After explaining why Schubert is the choice of subject for this study, it will apply these findings to hermeneutic musical perspectives of Schubert's music, providing insight into the relationship between aesthetic theory, cultural practice, and analytic theory. Firstly, the literary perspective, connected to the supernatural, poetic, and Romantic notions of imagination (
