Infos

When approaching the multiplicity of the spiritual experiences of healing, ethnographers are often presented with ideas of the existence of "e;other"e; worlds that may intersect with the so-called "e;material"e; or "e;physical"e; worlds. 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 "e;unknown"e;-be it in the form of trance, or as the embodiment of an "e;other"e;-shapes the concepts of healing, body, trance, self, and matter by which ethnographers craft out analysis.
