The Dynamic Cosmos
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-29936-8 (ISBN)
Framed by an introduction written by the editors and an afterword by Michael Lambek, a leading authority in possessions studies, the volume contains cutting edge analyses that will provide readers with new tools to evaluate previously unstudied aspects of spirit possession; all of which stem from the fantastic forms of human movement that accompany the phenomenality of paradoxes in mundane reality.
Diana Espirito Santo is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile. Matan Shapiro is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Digital Humanities at King’s College London, UK.
