[KS] Koreanstudies Digest, Vol 49, Issue 7

Thu Jul 12 03:44:50 EDT 2007

Dear friends,
thank you very much for the information and the bibliographic indications.
They will be of great help.

At the moment I am focusing my research mainly in three female divine
figures, Bari gongju, Gwaneum bosal y Seongmo Maria. I have done field-work
among Buddhist and Catholic Korean women to see the influence of these two
divine figures in their religious and ordinary practices, and also I have
interview some mudang and women dangol about Bari gongju. I think it will be
interesting to include also the female mountain-spirits and other shamanic
goddesses.

Thank to all of you again and if you have any other suggestion for my
research it will be very welcome.
yours sincerely,
Antonio J. Domenech
