Talk:Imitation of sounds in shamanism

Rename

[edit]

The original title of this article was “Imitation of natural sounds related to various shamanistic beliefs or practice”. The new title, “Onomatopoeia in Shamanism” is shorter, but the capital in “Shamanism” may be misleading. Several experts say shamanism is not religion (at least, not in the familiar sense), and anyway, there is no “one”, “the” shamanism, on the contrary, even the mere term is debated sometimes: there are many different, diverse cultures, and by some resemblances, some techniques and beliefs can be discussed together.

I propose

  • to un-capitalize “Shamanism” in the title of the article
  • maybe we could try to use the old-new term “shamanhood” (at least in the title), the term proposed by Juha Pentikäinen and some other researchers in shamanism (e.g. Hoppál) for emphasizing the considerations described above. For more details, arguments and references, see Talk:Shamanistic remnants in Hungarian folklore#Shamanhood.

Now I have done the above proposed rename: the article's title has become Onomatopoeia in shamanhood. Physis (talk) 01:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The title became even more convoluted, so I changed it to "imitation of sounds in shamanism" as that parallels what the similar articles mentioned are called. Wikipedia always uses the most commonly used words for things in the title. Sticky Parkin 03:30, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
