Abstract

German

Nach einem formelhaften religiösen "Wechselgespräch" zwischen Vorbeter und Scheich erfolgt durch die Teilnehmer der eigentliche Zikr (vgl. E 1968). Eine Besonderheit des Melâmî-Zikr ist das Absingen religiöser Lieder in albanischer Sprache.

English

The Zikr of the Melâmî Dervishes resembles the Zikr of the Chalvetî Dervishes (see Film E 1968) with minor differences: After a formalized religious "dialogue" between the precentor and the Sheikh the participants perform the actual Zikr. It includes the repetition of the word God (hû) along with an il- âhî (religious hymn) in Albanien. Occasionally the precentor interrupts the prayer with the recitation of religious formulare. The prayer is accompanied by rocking movements, and ends with the exclamation "Hû" (God).
