This book proposes a sensory ethnography of healing with a focus on ethnographic knowing as embedded in an embodied epistemology of healing. Epistemological embodiment signals that personal scholarly experience of the "unknown"--be it in the form of trance, or as the embodiment of an "other"--shapes the concepts of healing, body, trance, self, and matter by which ethnographers craft out analysis"-- Introduction : embodied epistemologies of healing / Emily Pierini, Alberto Groisman, and Diana Espírito Santo -- Playing with other worlds : renegotiating bodily experience and hierarchy in Afro-Brazilian candomblé / Giovanna Capponi -- Embodied knowledge and the phenomenological posture to frame the anthropology of "extraordinary" experiences / Géraldine Mossière -- Living with spirits : spirituality and health in São Paulo, Brazil / Bettina E. Schmidt -- The ghosts that haunt me : feeling with affective technologies and doing ethnography about spirit possession in contemporary Japan / Andrea De Antoni -- "Try feeding the ghost more" : illness experience and understanding the unseen in a Tamang village, Nepal / Paula Bronson -- Encountering other worlds through "transreligiosity" : a comparative account of healing, embodiment, and transformation in the field / Eugenia Roussou and Anastasios Panagiotopoulos -- Learning to trance : the affective grounding of becoming another body in another place / Tamara Dee Turner -- Ways of knowing and healing : mediumistic and ethnographic epiphanies in the Vale do Amanhecer / Emily Pierini -- Learning to read the world : education of attention and parapsychic perception of the environment / Gustavo Ruiz Chiesa -- Sensory ethnography and anthropology of mediumship : exploring Brazilian spiritist practices in (mental) well-being and health/care / Helmar Kurz -- Channeling an archangel : an apprenticeship in metatronic life and healing / Fiona Bowie -- Epilogue : healing, images, and trust / Roger Canals. |
