| Summary: | On 25-26 November 2011, Marie Lecomte-Tilouine and Anne de Sales held a
conference on “Authoritative Speech in the Himalayan Region”. Sales and
Lecomte-Tilouine, both accomplished anthropologists of Nepal, are affiliated
with the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), in Paris. For the two
days of the conference, whenever participants played audio-visual recordings, the
urgent strains of shamanic drumming and chants punctured the tranquility of the
Maison Suger, a quiet haven in the bustling centre of Paris, where the
proceedings occurred. The conference included papers on both the Nepalese and
Tibeto-Burman oral traditions of the Himalayan region, including Nepal itself,
Tibet, Northern India, and Southwest China. |
