"Spirit Possession es una pieza clave para comprender una de las prácticas más ampliamente extendidas desde el más remoto chamanismo hasta el presente a causa de la diversidad de formas en su representación transcultural. Debido al interés de los autores en la investigación comparativa de las religiones y las creencias populares entre Europa Central y Oriental, la investigación antropológica de la religiosidad laica, la magia popular y la investigación sobre la religión moderna, la brujería, la demonología y la investigación del folklore relacionado con las narrativas de creencias, encantamientos y otros géneros, esta obra representa la primera en una serie de compilaciones que van a esperar su turno en el futuro." https://ceupress.com/file%3A///C%3A/Users/inkei/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/9RESHP2W/eboletin_v18_1_2023.htm#titlibros--Jorge Villanueva, Boletín Electrónico de Parapsicología, This significant book on possession examines its multiple forms and develops the conceptual tools to understand it as a culturally embedded phenomenon. As the authors show, to make sense of the diverse expressivity of possession, one should consider the local context and vernacular theories of the people who use this enigmatic language of supernatural communication. Case studies examined in this book range from past to present, from Africa to South Asia, and from Europe to Latin America--many of them based on fieldwork or ancient textual sources.--Ülö Valk This volume offers a feast for students of anthropology, history, psychology, dramaturgy--for all who are attentive to the worldwide and protean phenomena associated with spirit possession. The score of cases drawn from Europe, India, Africa, Brazil, and elsewhere, demonstrate the antiquity as well as the modernity of these beliefs and practices. The 22 contributions show how wonderful--and frightful--the human imagination of spirits can be, giving rise to creativity in the arts--performance, music, poetry, etc.--as well as succor, pain, fear, and religious and political careers.--Herbert S. Lewis

Synopsis
Possession, a seemingly irrational phenomenon, has posed challenges to generations of scholars rooted in Western notions of body-soul dualism, self and personhood, and a whole set of presuppositions inherited from Christian models of possession that was "good" or "bad." The authors of the essays in this book present a new and more promising approach. They conceive spirit possession as a form of communication, of expressivity, of culturally defined behavior that should be understood in the context of local, vernacular theories and empiric reflections. With the aim of reformulating the comparative anthropology of spirit possession, the editors have opened corridors between previously separate areas of research. Together, anthropologists and historians working on several historical periods and in different European, African, South American, and Asian cultural areas attempt to redefine the very concept of possession, freeing it from the Western notion of the self and more clearly delineating it from related matters such as witchcraft, devotion, or mysticism. The book also provides an overview of new research directions, including novel methods of participant observation and approaches to spirit possession as indigenous historiography
