Şamanizmde Ritüel Nesneleri Ve Heykel Sanatına Yansıması

Abstract

Shamanism is a belief and practice system with a long history across various cultures. In this system, the shaman plays a special role, providing spiritual guidance and healing through rituals. The rituals conducted by the shaman are performed with the intent of offering spiritual guidance and healing. The carefully selected objects used in these rituals are symbolic items that the shaman employs while in a trance state. These objects, whose purposes and methods of use vary by culture, hold a significant place in the Shamanic tradition. This study aims to examine Shamanic ritual objects and their influence on sculpture art. Initially, the study explores what Shamanism is and how its rituals vary across different cultures. Following this, a detailed analysis is conducted on how these ritual objects are used and how they contribute to the transformation processes into art pieces. At this stage, the similarities and differences between art objects, everyday objects, and ritual objects are discussed. By combining both theoretical and practical approaches, this study seeks to delve into the interaction between Shamanism, its ritual objects, and sculpture art. Therefore, the art works produced during the process are examined, and the topics discussed in the theoretical sections of the research are materialized.
