“…I will not negate nor support this opinion in this discussion, but I argue that it is the sensory manipulation in this context that triggers these experiences that are interpreted as mediumship, and also those of alleviation and, in the best case, healing. The long periods of lectures and waiting, the dim light and meditative music, the prayers and passes create an environment where participants relax, focus on themselves, reflect on their life situation and relations, and maybe release and/or sense feelings and issues they are not able to otherwise give space to in a busy, hectic cultural environment like Brazil that provides little room for self-reflection and verbal communication of personal distress (Laplantine 2015;Kurz 2017 for the example of Brazil; Farb et al 2015;Howes 2015; for the aspects of inner senses and self-perception). The aesthetics of care in Brazilian Spiritism provide a space to become at ease with oneself and one's (chronic, incurable) affliction and, therefore, at least reduce psychological/mental/emotional/spiritual side effects, if not even reduce or adapt certain symptoms.…”

This book explores how people draw upon spiritual, religious, or faith-based practices to support their mental wellness amidst forms of chronicity. From diverse global contexts and spiritual perspectives, this volume critically examines several chronic conditions, such as psychosis, diabetes, depression, oppressive forces of colonization and social marginalization, attacks of spirit possession, or other forms of persistent mental duress.As an inter-and transdisciplinary collection, the chapters include innovative ethnographic observations and over 300 in-depth interviews with care providers and individuals living in chronicity, analyzed primarily from the phenomenological and hermeneutic meaningmaking traditions. Overall, this book depicts a modern global era in which spiritualty and religion maintain an important role in many peoples' lives, underscoring a need for increased awareness, intersectoral collaboration, and practical training for varied care providers.This book will be of interest to scholars of religion and health, the sociology and psychology of religion, medical and psychological anthropology, religious studies, and global health studies, as well as applied health and mental health professionals in psychology, social work, physical and occupational therapy, cultural psychiatry, public health, and medicine.

Intellectual Property, Piracy, and Counterfeiting

This review argues that the elastic space between intellectual property (IP) and unauthorized use (including piracy and counterfeiting) is an increasingly important feature of contemporary textual production and circulation. Within the context of digital textuality, circulatory legitimacy becomes integral to both contextualization and entextualization. The dynamic relationship between IP and piracy/counterfeiting appears as a means of organizing sense-perception and subjectivity, parsing geopolitical space, handling the surfeits and deficits that emerge in contemporary text circulation, distinguishing formality from informality, and deciding levels and forms of acceptable participation in the production and consumption of commodities. This becomes particularly fraught in the face of anxieties about the potential limitlessness of circulation.

Este artigo se dá na interseção entre dois trabalhos de campo, um entre indígenas do Território Indígena do Xingu que habitam a cidade de Canarana, Mato Grosso, outro com grupos de danças contemporâneas na cidade de São Paulo. Nossa intenção é ressaltar os importantes efeitos de se levar a sério a possibilidade de que outros mundos levem a outros modos de conhecimento, estabelecendo, desde a perspectiva do corpo e de seus poderes modulatórios, uma crítica a abordagens estritamente intelectuais de saberes que chamam à experiência direta. O que sugerimos aqui é uma radicalização da proposta de se levar a sério a verdade de nossas interlocutoras e interlocutores de pesquisa, não apenas escutando suas verdades como verdades para elas, mas escutando-as como verdades que definem, ela mesmas, os limites de sua extensão.
