Description

Explore the social history and cultural experiences of a marginalized society in Mindanao Island, Philippines. This academic work by Buenconsejo provides a deep analysis of speech, song, and dance within the context of spirit possession rituals. By examining the Agusan Manobo people, the text uses the concepts of exchange and reciprocity to explain how ritual songs function in real-world social settings. Readers will learn how the performativity of these songs helps form and maintain personhood, subjectivity, and sociability within the community. This book is part of the Current Research in Ethnomusicology series, specifically focusing on outstanding dissertations that contribute to the study of folk music and ritual performance. It offers a unique perspective on how marginalized groups preserve their identity through traditional artistic expressions.
