Abstract

En Asie du Sud, la possession par des divinités ou des esprits, entendue comme cette présence étrangère à soi en soi, n’a guère été prise en compte dans la réflexion générale s’intéressant à ce type de manifestation. Dans le sous-continent lui-même, son étude s’est focalisée sur les zones géographiques périphériques et concentrée majoritairement sur les « tribus ». De plus, nombre d’interprétations l’ont réduite à une catégorie autonome, perdant de vue qu’il s’agit de l’une de ces interactions parmi tant d’autres, à la croisée des idiosyncrasies et des symboles partagés, par lesquelles les acteurs mettent en forme leur monde. En articulant leur réflexion sur la parole, le corps et le territoire, les quinze auteurs de ce volume ont voulu restituer la multiplicité des significations et la variété de ses liens avec toute une série de pratiques sociales et d’institutions, de discours et d’émotions. La possession, comme trajectoire de vie, perception des espaces propres aux dieux et aux hommes et représentation de la société, y compris dans ses dimensions identitaires et politiques, est à la fois mode de pensée et d’action. Ainsi apparaît-elle, par excellence, comme un « travail de la culture » qui lie intimement perception individuelle, modèle cognitif et société.

Abstract

Vietnam has experienced not only market reform and economic growth but also a related, symbiotic revival of popular religion. So it is no surprise that popular beliefs and rituals once attacked as wasteful and superstitious have again become a conspicuous feature of contemporary life. A blossoming of spirit mediumship has been part of this revival, not least that involving ritual possession by the deities of the Four Palace Pantheon, which this study brings to life with a deft handling of complex theory, historical research, ethnographic material and analysis.

Abstract

This book and film provide an account of the invisible dynamics of possession and psychosis, and of how the bodies and souls of Muslim patients are shaped by the conflicting demands of Islam and the psychiatric institutions of European nation-states. Over several years, Christian Suhr followed Muslim patients being treated in a Danish mosque and in a psychiatric hospital. His analysis reveals how both psychiatric and Islamic healing work not only to produce relief from pain, but also entail an ethical transformation of the patient and the cultivation of religious and secular values through the experience of pain. Creatively exploring the analytic possibilities provided by the use of a camera, both the book and film show how disruptive ritual techniques are used in healing to destabilise individual perceptions and experiences of agency, so as to allow patients to submit to the invisible powers of psychotropic medicine or God. Descending with angels addresses several timely topics - Islam in the West, mental health, intercultural cohabitation - and provides new theoretical perspectives on the agency of the invisible in human life. It will be of particular interest to scholars and students of anthropology, psychiatry, film and media studies, and the study of religion and Islam. The book comes with limited online access to the film. Separate license for public or classroom use can be purchased from Documentary Educational Resources (www.der.org).
