The Reality of Spirits: A Tabooed or Permitted Field of Study?
Anthropology of Consciousness 4 (1):9-12 (1993)
Abstract
The tendency in the past has been for aruhropobgists to rationalize away the native claim that spirits exist. But in this study, a number of incidents, some of which happened to the author, are described and used to bring this positwistic assumption into question. The author shows that "participant observation" in the fullest sense requires taking the final leap and "going native" in the most complete way possible.My notes
