Abstract
Purpose Aims to define the conceptual tools of Gregory Bateson's epistemology the nature of difference, logical typing, and recursion and to apply this to understanding how we can approach the analysis of ethnographic reports of the Bushman nomkxaosi shamans and the Bushman rock art of Southern Africa. Designmethodologyapproach The paper argues that kinesthetic interaction with nomkxaosi provides a vehicle for learning their way of construing the world. Findings The nomkxaosi have a kinesthetic lexicon and a set of dominant metaphors rooted to their ecstatic body expression that provide coherence to their ways of healing and spiritual understanding. The previously assumed incoherent nature of Bushman religious views noted by anthropologists is argued to have been the consequence of underestimating the importance Bushman thinking gives to circularity and transformation of all aspects of their experience. Originalityvalue Illuminates the analysis of the Bushman culture.
