These have diversified, now ranging from \u201cneoshamanism\u201d to \u201cneo-Burkhanism\u201d and also include Buddhism and evangelical Christianity. Major collective ceremonies based on the cycle of the seasons have resurfaced, while throat singing, formerly used for the ritual recitation of epic poems, now resonates well beyond the borders of this small territory, paradoxically spreading the image of traditions exempt from any external influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This book, while emphasizing the social, political and environmental issues the Altaians now face, sheds new light on that complex and composite religious situation, fuelled by multiple tensions, which until now has not received the attention it deserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Author&#8217;s biography<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Cl\u00e9ment Jacquemoud is a doctor of anthropology associated with C\u00e9Sor (CNRS-EHESS).
