  • Being changed : the anthropology of extraordinary experience
    A collection of personal accounts of spirit sightings, written by anthropologists and anthropology students. Throughout the book there is an underlying theme: that experiences of this sort are common ... among anthropologists but are suppressed for fear that such revelations would lead to professional ostracism. Anthropologists of recent generations have always expressed enormous sympathy with 'non-rational' modes of thought, with the 'supernatural' experiences of people around the world. What they have rarely in their scholarly writing admitted to doing is giving any credence to the 'irrational' themselves, though such beliefs have long been common among those who have lived and worked for extended periods in cultures different from those that dominate Western society. Describes such experiences and analyzes what can occur "when one opens one's self to aspects of experience that previously have been ignored or repressed". The ten contributions to the book include Edith Turner on 'A Visible Spirit Form in Zambia', Rab Wilkie on 'Ways of Approaching the Shaman's World', and Marie Francoise Guedon on 'Dene Ways and the Ethnographer's Culture'. The editors' introduction and conclusion extensively discuss the general issues involved. Directly challenges the rationalist bias in Western tradition by developing a new, 'experimental' approach to extraordinary experiences and takes traditional cultures seriously
