演講摘要：

本演講將描述一個比較研究的成形。首先探討韓國巫師(mudang, mansin)如何將其神壇中的繪畫作為其祭拜神的座位，再發展至比較越南靈媒如何使用儀式賦予雕刻圖像靈力，以及巴厘島賦予面具力量的實踐。對圖像製作與圖像活化的平行理解，促成了廣泛的對話。這三個例子的細微差異，神、圖像和巫師或靈媒的關係，讓我們對韓國巫師的意義有了更深的理解。
This presentation describes the growth of a comparative project. It begins with a consideration of Korean shamans and how the paintings in their shrines operate as seats for the gods that Korean shamans (mudang, mansin) serve in their practice. It describes the development of a comparative project concerning the use of ritually enlivened carved images in the practice of Vietnamese mediums and the work of empowered masks in Bali. Parallel understandings of image-making and image-enlivening enabled a broad conversation. Differences of nuance between these three examples—the relationship between god, image, and the shaman or medium—enabled a deeper understanding of what it means to be a Korean shaman.
