Chamanes : La cultura visual del animismo, la sanación y los viajes a otros planos

For centuries, the shaman has been a marginal figure, a figure in whom fascination with the exotic and disdain converged, sometimes shunned by conventional faiths and sometimes admired for embodying values ​​antagonistic to modernity. Representations of the shaman portray him as an ambivalent mystical figure, sharing many traits with witches, exorcists, and healers. Even the history of the term itself is steeped in ambiguity.
