Korean shamanism's mysterious duality, which involves deterritorialization and reterritorialization, is explored using an interdisciplinary lens in this book. Despite ongoing oppression and marginalization, shaman culture is prevalent in contemporary Korea, but few acknowledge their indigenous beliefs with pride. The mediatization process has deepened this duality, and the book aims to unravel it by examining the contextualization and mediatization of Korean shamanism.

The enigmatic nature of Korean shamanism is truly remarkable, as it constantly manifests a fascinating duality that revolves around processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization. This captivating phenomenon has intrigued scholars from various disciplines, and this book seeks to unravel the enigma through an interdisciplinary lens.

Korean shamanism has faced relentless oppression and marginalization throughout its history, and unfortunately, this situation has not improved over time. While shaman culture is deeply embedded in the lives of many Koreans, there is a prevailing lack of pride in acknowledging their indigenous beliefs. However, as Korean shamanism has undergone the mediatization process, this mysterious duality has only deepened. While the revival of Korean shamanism through the dynamic of shamanic inheritance has brought about new life, it has also become a target of mockery. Consequently, achieving a comprehensive understanding of Korean shamanism requires a deep exploration of the intricate puzzles that constitute this enigmatic duality.

In this book, we embark on a journey to map out the complexities of this duality by delving into the puzzles surrounding the contextualization of Korean shamanism and mediatization. Through a multidisciplinary approach, we aim to shed light on the rich tapestry of this ancient tradition and provide a deeper appreciation for its significance in contemporary Korean society.
