Conclusion: Stepping Back. 520 $a "Spirit possession involves the displacement of a human's conscious self by that of a powerful other - a spirit, god, or demon - who temporarily occupies the human's body. To many, spirit possession is quintessentially exotic, a novelty, an example of the ways in which "others" are fundamentally different. In this book, Seligman shows that, far from being exotic and "other," spirit possession mediumship represents a privileged site for understanding a number of fundamental aspects of human experience - especially those involved with interactions among meaning, embodiment, and subjectivity. Using a diverse set of ethnographic, psychological, and biological data gathered during fieldwork among spirit possession mediums of the Candomble; religion in Northeastern Brazil, she explores how everyday and religious practices and meanings shape and interact with the bodily experiences and psychophysiological states of Candomble; mediums, both before and after their initiations, and how such interactions shape their experiences of selfhood"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a CandombleÌ (Religion) $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Blacks $z Brazil $x Religion. 650 0 $a Spirit possession $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Spiritual healing $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Healing $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Ethnology $z Brazil. 650 0 $a Ethnobiology $z Brazil. 651 0 $a Brazil $x Religious life and customs. 650 7 $a RELIGION / Spirituality. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Customs & Traditions. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a CandombleÌ. $0 (DE-588)4201053-6 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Besessenheit. $0 (DE-588)4006019-6 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Geistheilung. $0 (DE-588)4113690-1 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Brasilien. $0 (DE-588)4008003-1 $2 gnd 830 0 $a Culture, mind, and society. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019010924.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9CC2DB98AB7211E4A1AC46C0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
