  • description
  • additional information
Series: Bibliotheca Shamanistica 5.

A well-organized study in approachable narrative that investigates Korean shamanism, from the perspective of an author with a background in dramatic arts--a key component of shamanist ritual.

The book is composed of three parts and seven chapters. Part One introduces various facets of Korean kut ritual; Part Two discusses its "dramatic aspects;" and Part Three deals with the worshipping community. The first chapter tells of the various forms of shamanist rituals in Korea. Kister is interested especially in the village Pyôlshin-kut or P'ungôje performed mostly in the eastern coastal fishing villages of Korea in the spring and fall, for he believes that this communal rite exemplifies "the general tendency of kut to mix prayer with play.
