Bourguignon and Ucko: dissociational states and trance

[kirbykat]

From World Cultures issue 9#1 "HOW TO.TXT":

Also included on this disk are new data and codebook files (AT09.DAT and
AT09.COD) that add two new variables to the Ethnographic Atlas database.
These are previously unpublished data from Erika Bourguignon's late-1960s
study of dissociational states and from Lenora Ucko's 1969 dissertation on
possession trance. The sample of 1130 societies Bourguignon and her
colleagues used in this study only partially overlaps (659 cases) the
Ethnographic Atlas, and the entire sample is also included here as a
separate database (BOUR.DAT). An extremely valuable part of this new
database is the extensive bibliography for these 1130 societies, included
here in six files (BOURGBIB.*). The bibliography is, unfortunately not
formatted to be read by the MAPTAB program, but can be browsed and printed
like any other DOS text file or imported into a word processing program.
The hardcopy portion of the journal contains an article by Bourguignon and
Ucko describing their dissociational states codes, and an excerpt from
Ucko's dissertation describing her societal rigidity codes.
