1)
A B.A. Dissertation about the PCP has been presented to the University of Bologna, Faculty of Literature and Philosophy, by Giacomo Mazza, under the supervision of Francesco Benozzo.

In his dissertation, G. Mazza discusses Carlo Ginzburg's "Siberian hypothesis" for the diffusion of shamanism in Central Europe (see Storia Notturna. Una decifrazione del Sabba, Torino, Einaudi, 1994), pointing out that many elements collected by Ginzburg could be better understood in in a PCP framework.
