Description

The Death and Resurrection Show is a groundbreaking exploration of the origins and enduring power of performance. Rogan P. Taylor traces the cultural journey of the shaman, the first "superstar," and examines how these ancient figures evolved into the artists and entertainers of today. Blending anthropology, cultural history, and mythology, Taylor uncovers the connections between ritual, religion, and the human need for transcendence. From tribal ceremonies to modern concerts, the book offers a compelling narrative about the performer's role in society as both healer and provocateur, exploring such themes as: The history of performance and ritual Shamanism and its cultural evolution The intersection of magic, spirituality, and art The transformative power of the performer A truly expansive and original work covering multiple fields of thought The Death and Resurrection Show is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the ancient roots of our hyper-modern world.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
