A Hospital on the Spiritual Plane: Human-Spirit Entanglements in Brazilian Spiritist (Mental) Healthcare
The paper combines multi-sited ethnographic research and media anthropology. It highlights performative aspects of Spiritist contributions to (mental) healthcare in Brazil and beyond, focusing on human-spirit relations. These imply that afflicting spirits (obsession) involved in human suffering are afflicted themselves, and thus, treatment (disobsession) must address them, too. Since the establishment of biomedicine and psychiatry as scientific d…

T WOULD be easy to call the life of Vigil a sort of fairy story in itself with its sad moments transformed by spiritual magic into glad triumphs. One night as he lay in his cradle, a bullet meant for his father, editor of a country sheet known as La Ley, buried itself in the wood just over his head. He lost his mother when he was only a child, and his father when he was in his 'teens. Yet he forged all this misfortune into a great motive for over…
The Americas through the Opera-Glass
M OST of us in the United States are aware that there are theaters in the cities of Central and South America, but we have a meager notion of what happens on their stages.

It happe…
