Résumé
'When approaching the multiplicity of the spiritual experiences of healing, ethnographers are often presented with ideas of the existence of 'other' worlds that may intersect with the so-called 'material' or 'physical' worlds. This book proposes a sensory ethnography of healing with a focus on ethnographic knowing as embedded in an embodied epistemology of healing. Epistemological embodiment signals that personal scholarly experience of the 'unknown'--be it in the form of trance, or as the embodiment of an 'other'--shapes the concepts of healing, body, trance, self, and matter by which ethnographers craft out analysis'
