>can anyone here point me towards these studies, or some >literature/web sites on this topic? where are these kinds of studies >typically published? psychology journals? sociology journals? This is what the LIBRARY is for, people! Come on! If you're too lazy/busy to go to the library as often as you should, like me, then use your browser to go to a university library or government site where you can hook up to the "Books in Print" database, WorldCat database, LoC, or one of several hundred specific, field-related databases. Get your citations together and then go to the 'brary. If your library doesn't have the books you want, order them. If they don't have the money to order the books, find out what your municipality is doing with your tax money. I would imagine that there is reliable info on this topic in Psychology journals--as to the "cultural" aspects of the trance/music nexus, sociology would have much less to offer than ethnomusicology. The _Journal of Ethnomusicology_ 10-year index has just gone on line at: http://www.indiana.edu/~ethmusic/index8796/index8796.html Finally, here is the CLIO citation for a book I once thought was useful on this subject. There must be better and more up-to-date stuff out there by now. Anyway, MHL. Author = Rouget, Gilbert Displaying Record: Author: Rouget, Gilbert. Uniform Title: Musique et la transe.
