Beiträge zur Praxeologie / Contributions to Praxeology: Ethnographic Inquiries into New Communities of Practice and Enskilment

Múscari, Marcello; Voss, Ehler; Zillinger, Martin

The open access volume “Skill and Scale in Transnational Mediumship” presents ethnographic inquiries into new communities of practice and enskilment that revolve around techniques of mediumship, spirit possession, and trance rituals in a globally interconnected world. The increased mobility of people, things, signs, and symbols that shape and reshape trance practices and spiritual experiences has significantly widened their scope and outreach. Circulating body techniques, symbols, and artifacts play a major role in the re-organization of spirituality and contribute to the emergence of transnational “spirited publics”.
