Manifesting Spirits
An Anthropological Study of Mediumship and the Paranormal
Checking Availibility...Description
Manifesting Spirits is an ethnographic study of a contemporary trance mediumship development circle in suburban Bristol. The book has a particular emphasis on the ways in which extraordinary experiences had in séances lead to expanded notions of self and consciousness for both mediums and sitters, and the processes by which spirits are manifested in séance situations. Overall, the book makes strides toward the development of a nonreductive anthropology of the paranormal that embraces complexity and pushes beyond established models.
