This book proposes a sensory ethnography of healing with a focus on ethnographic knowing as embedded in an embodied epistemology of healing. Epistemological embodiment signals that personal scholarly experience of the “unknown”—be it in the form of trance, or as the embodiment of an “other”—shapes the concepts of healing, body, trance, self, and matter by which ethnographers craft out analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This book makes some highly original and extraordinarily important contributions to anthropology and religious studies that will appeal to a wide readership across these disciplines, from students and specialists of healing and spiritualism to those with an interest in scholarly theories and methods of illuminating the unknown.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Katherine Swancutt\u003c\/strong\u003e, King's College London\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This volume is an illustration of the productive and exciting developments in the field of the anthropology of religion, in particular to what concerns health and healing practices, covering novel approaches and territories that experimentally transcend the classic formulations and interpretations on \"spirit possession\".”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Ruy Llera Blanes\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Gothenburg\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Embodied Epistemologies of Healing\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eEmily Pierini, Alberto Groisman and Diana Espírito Santo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePart I: Paradoxes and Dilemmas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Playing with Other Worlds: renegotiating bodily experience and hierarchy in Afro-Brazilian Candomblé\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eGiovanna Capponi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Embodied Knowledge and the Phenomenological Posture to Frame the Anthropology of “Extraordinary” Experiences\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eGéraldine Mossière\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Living with Spirits: Spirituality and Health in São Paulo, Brazil\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eBettina E.
