Description

Explore the unique spiritual traditions of South Korea with Healing Rhythms: The World of South Korea's East Coast Hereditary Shamans. Part of the SOAS Studies in Music series, this book provides a deep look into the world of the mudang, the intermediaries of Korea's syncretic folk religion. While many mudang enter the profession through divine calling to focus on spirit-power and individual diagnosis, this work examines the rare minority of hereditary ritualists. These practitioners are born or adopted into the ritual life and operate without spirit-power. Instead, they work within large family groups to conduct rituals for entire communities. This study focuses on how these hereditary shamans use music, dance, and song to perform their roles. It is an essential resource for students and readers interested in sacred and religious music, folk religion, and the cultural history of South Korea.
