conclusion 129
the opinions regarding the shamans/koloburs. Those notions that refer
to the other kind of inside Otherness, namely men/women who had
different religions, depended on the concrete political situation, that is
on the context. But they were all viewed as Others and, therefore, the
discrepancy had a positive character. Given that situation, here We has
been defined ‘as a reference in the frameworks of the shared experi-
ence, common aims and collective horizon’,^3 and not as denial of the
Others. Moreover, here the “challenge” was not so strong and visible
(with, to a certain degree, the exception of the world religions) and
thus the ‘answer’ remained traditional and, in many ways, predictable;
it rarely ended with radical changes in the notions of the Other.
