William S. (Hrsg.) Sax

The Law of Possession: Ritual, Healing, and the Secular State

Buch

Rituals combining healing with spirit possession and court-like proceedings are found around the world and throughout history. Modern, secular states have systematically attempted to eliminate them. The Law of Possession is the first volume to compare and analyze the internal logic of such practices, as well as their relation to the modern, secular state.
