The power of the spirits is thought to defeat the demons, ethnologist Prof. What effect human voices have in religious rituals is presented in the volume by referring to video recordings from the Muslim Sufi temple Bava Gor in India: pilgrims suffering from forms of possession bring the torturing demonic spirits into a dialogue with spirits of saints - using their own human voice. Martina Wagner-Egelhaaf: "'Inner voices' as well are perceived as a human link to a divine sphere, for instance like the idea of the 'voice of the inner light' that was developed by the group of Quakers in 17th century England." The idea that sacred texts are revealed by god is also based on the concept of a voice that the writer hears: Christian art history depicts this for example by showing an angel and an evangelist together. The voice that asks Augustine to read the Bible in his conversion report is part of this. In numerous sources, the group discovered human voices, which were raised during religious performance, as well as disembodied voices that were only heard, approaching the listener from outside, and which were often ascribed to gods or spirits. "It seems to evade any discursive access." In this interdisciplinary project, the academic has collaborated with a group of religious and literary scholars, ethnologists, theologians, historians and sociologists. "The voice is a particularly complex medium: owing to its fleeting materiality and placelessness it can hardly be determined," Prof. "The book has many voices: the individual articles are written from the perspectives of different academic subjects and are commented on from the view of other academic subjects." The sources range from the conversion story of Augustine and historical mourning rituals of Australian aborigines to the audio play "Die Zikaden" (The Cicadas) by Ingeborg Bachmann, a realization which, after years, has been made accessible again by the approval of the NDR, a German public radio and television broadcaster. "For a book on the voice must be able to speak," says Martina Wagner-Egelhaaf. In addition to contributions by the authors involved in the project in German and English, the volume also contains the sources that were analysed: texts and images as well as audio samples and videos on an enclosed DVD.

The group's results were published in a multi-media work called "Stimmen aus dem Jenseits / Voices from Beyond" in the series "Religion and Politics" edited by the Cluster of Excellence. In a novel research project, she analysed the medium of the "voice" in Hinduism, Christianity, Islam and other religions with researchers from various subjects. Martina Wagner-Egelhaaf from the Cluster of Excellence "Religion and Politics" of Muenster University in Germany. This connects this world with the afterworld," says literary scholar Prof.
They also speak to spiritual beings, for instance when exorcising demons. "Be it texts or images, radio or films: many works show that people from different eras and religions hear voices that they regard to be divine. It's not bad but it's not good.Not just material for fantasy films: according to research findings, people have been concerned with "voices from the beyond" since antiquity until today in various works of art as well as life contexts. For a regular movie, I have to rate this a 5/10. Over all, for Fulci fans I have to rate this a 3/10.
#Voices from beyond movie
Though, there was one funny scene at the beginning of the movie involving a crying child and his crazed father threatening to stab him with a knife. The gore that is in the movie doesn't even go on par with his work in the late 70's and early 80's. The big problem with this movie is the gore. The music in the movie was very hypnotic and enjoyable. There were though many scenes that were good and very eye catching. You can tell with many of the scenes that Fulci was trying to incorporate his psychedelic horror style but the story wasn't right for that style. Now, the story is kind of interesting but things just don't click together. She has a dream one night that her father comes to her and tells her that he was murdered and that she needs to find the person that killed him before it's too late. His family are all a bunch of money grubbers except his daughter (who is the star of the movie).
Basically, a very wealthy man dies an unnatural death (spewing up blood).
It really does stray from the norm for Fulci as this story is more on the story and characters than it is on gore.
It's more of a mystery with very little of what made Fulci a great horror/gore director. As this is a decent film it is not a horror movie. This is one of the last films Fulci directed and you can tell.
