Possessing Spirits and Healing Selves: Embodiment and Transformation in an Afro-Brazilian Religion - Culture, Mind, and Society
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.
