Resumo
Exorcism is a long-standing practice in the history of religions and has increased in contemporary societies. The introduction to the dossier 'Exorcisms, extractions of unwanted identities, and other spiritual struggles around the body' proposes a revision of the production of contemporary social sciences – in particular, anthropology and sociology – on exorcism. First, we propose a reflection on the category of exorcism, and then we discuss some of the issues that underlie research on the contemporary practice: ritual performance, the status of exorcism in modernity, the relationship with therapeutic and healing practices, the discussion of exorcism as a gendered ritual, and the political dimension of the practice.
