Possessing Spirits and Healing Selves by R Seligman

Possessing Spirits and Healing Selves by R Seligman

Spirit possession involves the displacement of a human's conscious self by a powerful other who temporarily occupies the human's body. Here, Seligman shows that spirit possession represents a site for understanding fundamental aspects of human experience, especially those involved with interactions among meaning, embodiment, and subjectivity.

“This book offers a way to address some of the unique questions about spirit possession trance religionsSeligman offers a clear and detailed description of her innovative methodology in a special appendix which should be of interest to ethnographers in a variety of fields. I highly recommend this book to anthropologists and social scientists generally.” (Patricia Barker Lerch, Nova Religion, Vol. 20 (2), 2016) 

Rebecca Seligman is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Northwestern University, USA.
