Masters of Psalmody (
bimo
)
Aurélie Névot analyses the religious, political and theoretical issues of a scriptural shamanism observed in southwestern China among the Yi-Sani. Her focus is on blood sacrifices and chants based on a secret and labile writing handled only by ritualists called
bimo
.
Through ethnographic data, the author presents the still little known
bimo
metaphysics and unravels the complexity of the local text-based ritual system in which the continuity of each
bimo
lineage relies on the transmission of manuscripts whose writing relates to lineage blood. While illuminating the usages of this shamanistic tradition that is characterized by scriptural variability between patrilineages, Aurélie Névot highlights the radical changes it is undergoing by becoming a Chinese state tradition.
