Description
Summary:Inebriation, trance, ecstasy - when are these `minor flights' welcome as the possibility to escape rationalized everyday experience, at least for a while? And when are they considered a social risk? This volume focuses on the question of how different societies and subcultures deal with extraordinary states of consciousness, and how the respective cultural frameworks can be comparatively understood. The spectrum of examples from bygone eras and distant cultures is broad, and it speaks to both cultural studies readers and non-specialists alike
Rausch, Trance, Ekstase: Was im Alltag als kleine Fluchten vielfältig präsent ist, wird im künstlerischen Schaffen beharrlich gewürdigt und verheißt transzendente Grenzüberschreitungen. Gleichzeitig erscheinen der »Rausch der Sinne« und andere außergewöhnliche Bewusstseinszustände immer wieder aufs Neue als Störungen der kulturellen Ordnung, die mit sozialen Problemen wie Drogensucht, religiösem Sektierertum und sexueller Ausschweifung verknüpft werden.Diese Widersprüche bilden den Ausgangspunkt des Bandes und kulminieren in der Frage, ob außergewöhnliche Bewusstseinszustände generell unvereinbar mit dem rationalen Menschenbild und den ökonomischen Organisationsprinzipien der Moderne sind. Dies betrifft nicht nur unseren Alltag, sondern berührt auch die Welt der Kunst und das religiöse Leben
