Shamanism, dressed, disease, Emberá-Chamí, Chocó, Reichel-DolmatoffAbstract
Based on Reichel-Dolmatoff ’s work on the Chocó groups and shamanism, the researcher’s contributions are manifested in the three subjects: the consumption of hallucinogens (as a vehicle of contact with the world-other), the shamanic dress (a means of incorporating the qualities of the other) and the origin of the disease (as a reflection of the relationship of
individuals with their social environment). These themes are reanalyzed, under the veil of the Embera-Chamí ethnography (one of the Chocó groups), in order to see the importance of Reichel-Dolmatoff ’s work and to broaden the vision we have of them.
