Phd-prosjekt:
The Singing Bowl: Commodity, Artefact and Healing Instrument
Metal bowls produced in Nepal are used for healing and sound therapy worldwide. By following the singing bowl from production, through sellers and buyers and to therapy rooms in Nepal and Norway, this research project explores how an artefact is constructed in a globalized field of alternative medicine and religion.
Looking into the different stages in the life of the artefact, the project investigates how the singing bowl is becoming a ritual and healing object. The singing bowl is approached as commodity, tourist souvenir, ritual item, medical and musical instrument. Further, the project investigates the relation between human body, sound and artefact in the field of alternative medicine.
