Glimpses of Tibetan Divination
Glimpses of Tibetan Divination: Past and Present is the first book of its kind, in that it contains articles by a group of eminent scholars who approach the subject matter by investigating it through various facets and salient historical figures. Over the centuries, Tibetans developed many practices of prognostication and adapted many others from neighboring cultures and religions. In this way, Tibetan divination evolved into a vast field of ritual expertise that has been largely neglected in Tibetan Studies. The Tibetan repertoire of divinatory techniques is rich and immensely varied. Accordingly, the specimen of practices discussed in this volume—many of which remain in use today—merely serve as examples that offer glimpses of divination in Tibet. Contributors are Per Kværne, Brandon Dotson, Ai Nishida, Dan Martin, Petra Maurer, Charles Ramble, Donatella Rossi, Rolf Scheuermann, Alexander Smith, and Agata Bareja-Starzynska.

The End of the World
The first English translation of a classic work of twentieth-century anthropology and philosophy. A philosopher, historian of religions, and anthropologist, Ernesto de Martino (1908–1965) produced a body of work that prefigured many ideas and concerns that would later come to animate anthropology. In his writing, we can see the roots of ethnopsychiatry and medical anthropology, discussions of reflexivity and the role of the ethnographer, considerations of social inequality and hegemony from a Gramscian perspective, and an anticipation of the discipline’s “existential turn.” We also find an attentiveness to hope and possibility, despite the gloomy title of his posthumously published b...

Novum Records: Von der Kunst, ein eigenes Label zu gründen
Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Gäbe es keine Töne, gäbe es keine Musik, gäbe es keine Tonträger zur Speicherung dieser. Viele Künstler und Musikbegeisterte träumen von der eigenen Plattenfirma, einem Label, unter dem sie Musik, ihre eigene oder die von anderen Musikern auf Tonträger produzieren und vermarkten können. Bei unserer anfänglichen Internetrecherche ist uns aufgefallen, dass in beinahe jedem Musikforum die Frage: „Wie gründe ich denn nun ein Label?“ mehrfach vertreten war. Die Antwort von erfahrenen Kennern aus der Musikwirtschaft war für die Fragenden oft keine Hilfe, für uns auch nicht. Wir standen anfänglich vor demselben Problem. Die Hoffnung, ein Geheimrezept zu f...
Tibetan Magic
This book focuses on the theme of magic in Tibetan contexts, encompassing both pre-modern and modern text-cultures as well as contemporary practices. It offers a new understanding of the identity and role of magical specialists in both historical and contemporary contexts. Combining the theoretical approaches of anthropology, ethnography, religious and textual studies, the book aims to shed light on experiences, practices and practitioners that have been frequently marginalized by the normative mainstream monastic Buddhist traditions and Western Buddhist scholarship, which focuses primarily on meditation and philosophy. The book explores the intersection between magic/folk practices and Tantra, a complex, socio-religious phenomenon associated not only with the religious and political elites who sponsored it, but also with 'marginal' ethnic groups and social milieus, as well as with lay communities at large, who resorted to ritual agents to fulfil their worldly needs.
